EMBODIMENTS OF THE INVENTION DESCRIBE A DRIP CHAMBER (20) AND A FLUID FLOW CONTROLLER (50) FOR AN INTRAVENOUS FLUID DELIVERY SYSTEM. THE DRIP CHAMBER (20) COMPRISES A BUOYANT BODY (240) HAVING A MEMBER (250) WITH A FLEXIBLE TAPERED END (251) THAT BLOCKS THE OUTLET CHANNEL (221) OF THE CHAMBER (20) WHEN THE FLUID DECREASES TO A CERTAIN LEVEL SO AS TO PREVENT AIR BUBBLES FROM ENTERING THE DELIVERY TUBE (30). THE FLUID FLOW CONTROLLER (50) COMPRISES A WHEEL (520) ENGAGED TO A ROD (530). THE ROTATION OF THE WHEEL (520) ACTUATES THE ROD (530) BY A LATERAL DISTANCE EQUIVALENT TO A THREAD PITCH OF THE ROD (530) SO AS TO ENABLE FINE ADJUSTMENTS OF THE ROD (530) MOVEMENT TO CONTROL THE FLUID FLOW RATE.
