MUMBAI, India, Feb. 27 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202541131365 A) filed by Saveetha Institute Of Medical And Technical Sciences, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, on Dec. 24, 2025, for 'automatic saline flow level tracker.'
Inventor(s) include Darsi Asritha; Dr. K. P. Indira; and Dr Ramya Mohan.
The application for the patent was published on Feb. 27, under issue no. 09/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The Automatic Saline Flow Level Tracker is a smart medical device developed to monitor the reak time flow rate of intravenous (IV) saline administered to patients. Traditional IV monitoring methods rely heavily on manual observation, which can lead to errors such as over-infusion, underinfusion, or even life-threatening conditions like air embolism. To address these challenges, this project integrates a flow sensor, microcontroller, and digital display into a compact system that continuously measures and displays the saline flow rate in milliliters per minute (mL/min). The system allows precise monitoring without constant human supervision and can be further enhanced with alarm features for critical flow conditions. This device is especially valuable in hospital settings with high patient loads and can significantly improve patient safety, nursing efficiency, and overall healthcare ulirity."
