Disclosed herein are devices, systems, and methods that control liquid in intravenous (IV) infusion, providing a high flow state to deliver a fluid bolus and a low flow state to provide an uninterrupted flow of liquid to the subject. As described herein, there are situations where it is advantageous to provide a bolus of fluid, corresponding to a relatively high flow rate, and when a bolus is not being delivered it is desirable to provide an uninterrupted low flow. Accordingly, the devices and methods are directed to providing an uninterrupted low flow in the IV line to keep the line open and a device (e.g., a valve) to control flow at a higher targeted rate for bolus delivery.
A flow controller providing a high flow state and a low flow state, the flow controller comprising:
