IV therapy is essential for treating a wide range of conditions, from dehydration to infections, and can be administered in various settings, including hospitals, clinics, and home care. One critical component of IV therapy is the roller clamp, which controls the flow of fluids and medications through the IV line. Traditional roller clamps require manual adjustment by healthcare professionals, which can lead to variability in the rate of flow and potential dosing errors. To address this challenge, the development of a smart automated roller clamp for IV therapy has emerged. Though, it is a small innovation it has enormous benefits to both healthcare providers and patients and can save one’s life. The smart automated roller clamp for IV therapy has the potential to prevent two critical complications associated with IV therapy Keywords: Classification, Backflow of blood, Air embolism
