Improved intravenous feeding apparatus and system is provided which includes a simple mechanism for producing a readily discernible indication should the flow of intravenous solution into the vein of a patient be interrupted for any reason. The apparatus includes a flipper member which is mounted in a receptacle through which the intravenous solution passes as a series of drops. The flipper is caused to move back and forth about a pivotal axis so long as the solution passes through the receptacle at a predetermined rate, and it stops when the rate increases or decreases from a pre-established value.
