An intravenous identification luminaire (IV-ID) and light pipe, and a light conductive intravenous delivery system is described. The light pipe preferably includes a female and male luer fitting, a fluid port, and a light source socket such that the light pipe is configured to be spliced into an IV line, and the IV-ID is coupled to the light pipe. The light pipe allows normal flow of the prescribed fluid through the light pipe while conducting light from the IV-ID, through the light source socket and along a conductive light path. The conductive light path continues into the IV line. The system also includes an indicator panel at the distal end of the IV line configured to reflect and make obvious the color of that particular IV line to a user.
