Intravenous line strap with dislodgement protection

An intravenous (IV) cartridge assembly, the IV cartridge assembly comprising:

• an internal channel traversing the IV cartridge assembly, the internal channel being configured to receive an IV line;
• a protrusion formed in a bed of the internal channel;
• a tapered track within the IV cartridge assembly and adjacent to the internal channel;
• and
• a roller wheel positioned inside the tapered track and configured to roll along the tapered track above the IV line,
• wherein the roller wheel is configured to, in response to the IV line being pulled, roll on top of the IV line, without interfering with fluid flow through the IV line until the IV line is pulled beyond a threshold,
• wherein, when the IV line is pulled beyond the threshold, the roller wheel is configured to towards the protrusion, pinch the IV line against the protrusion, and occlude the IV line.

A method for manufacturing an intravenous (IV) cartridge assembly, the method comprising:

• providing a housing, the housing comprising a tapered track and an internal channel, wherein the internal channel is configured to receive an IV line;
• providing a protrusion in the internal channel, the tapered track converging with the internal channel at the protrusion;
• and
• movably coupling a roller wheel to the tapered track, the roller wheel being configured to roll along the tapered track in response to the IV line being pulled,
• wherein the roller wheel is configured to roll along the IV line without interfering with fluid flow through the IV line until the roller wheel reaches the protrusion, at which point the roller wheel is configured to pinch the IV line against the protrusion and occlude the IV line.
