A method and apparatus for increasing the accuracy of administration of intravenous medicinal fluids including an elongated matrix device attachable to a plurality of intravenous tubes, so that each tube is disposed in spatial and visual alignment with an indicia device on which the type of fluid flowing in the tube and the identification of the body port to which the fluid is flowing is recorded, as well as visual means, such as staggered positioning, is used to visually connect the tubes coming into the matrix with the corresponding effluent tube to a particular body portal, and including the use of color coding as an enhancement to the basic arrangement.

A device for controlling the administration of intravenous fluids comprising: a matrix member, a plurality of spaced tube aligning means on said matrix member for orienting a plurality of intravenous fluid tubes in a particular spaced alignment relative to said matrix member recording means position

A device for controlling the administration of intravenous fluids comprising: a matrix member, a plurality of spaced tube aligning means on said matrix member for orienting a plurality of intravenous fluid tubes in a particular spaced alignment relative to said matrix member recording means positioned on said matrix member relative to said tube aligning means to provide for the handwritten recording of data relative to said tubes in visual alignment with said tube aligning means whereby said data in correlation with the tube positions facilitates the determination of the accuracy of injection of new intravenous fluids into an existing line of flow.
