Buzz Lightyear in a Tube

The Easy Find is medical equipment that will work very well in emergency situation like disasters. Typically IV Fluids are transparent and keeping an eye on them is a persistent task. When the ER is flooded with patients, things may get chaotic and thus this reusable glass infusion bottle with a specially designed dropper lights up when the drip-solution runs out. The glow is a clear indication that some action is required.

• The reusable glass infusion bottle features a specially designed dropper.
• The dropper is fitted with a dial that can be set to calibrate with the volume of liquid in the bottle.
• When it runs out, a colored light is triggered.
• This project is a 2014 Red Dot Award – Design Concept winner.
