An intravenous feed anchor system (IVFAS) that allows for unconstrained movement of a patient and IV configuration. The IVFAS includes an IV line clamp device for clamping a section of an IV line, an attach device for receiving and securing the IV line clamp device, and a securing device for securing an adjustable tie down to a patient. The IV attach device receives the IV line clamp device in a free floating condition. This prevents excessive motion and forces, caused by reasonable, unexpected or unusual conditions, from removing, or interrupting IV treatment. The IVFAS also keeps the section of the IV line between the anchor and insertion points in close proximity to the patient. This eliminates large IV line loops which have a tendency to snag or get pulled from environmental animate and inanimate objects. The IVFAS is quickly and easily attached and detached.
