Drip chamber detection assemblies for intravenous sets used with an infusion pump are provided. A drip chamber detection assembly includes a sensor coupled to a drip chamber. The sensor is positioned to generate signals related to the fluid level within the drip chamber. The signal data is transmitted to an infusion pump or a controller. A fluid level status or condition is determined and used for closed loop control of the infusion system, which generates an alarm and/or stops the infusion pump based on abnormal conditions. Methods of operating drip chamber detection assemblies are also provided.
