A drop sensing device for monitoring intravenous (IV) fluid flow is provided. The device comprises a U-shaped clip mountable on a drip chamber of an IV infusion set. The clip has a light source provided at one side for emitting radiation and a hollow cylinder provided in a through hole on the side opposite the light source. The cylinder includes an aperture of a diameter smaller than an average diameter of fluid drops passing the drip chamber, and an optical sensor mounted on a rear end of the cylinder opposite the aperture, so as to substantially enhance sensitivity of light ray receiving.
