Claim 0:
1. A consumable component comprising:
a housing;
a reservoir contained within the housing;
a pumping mechanism for dispensing a fluid from the reservoir; and
a readable element associated with the housing, the readable element maintaining calibration data indicating an amount of the fluid that is delivered relative to actuation of the pumping mechanism, wherein the amount of the fluid that is delivered relative to the actuation of the pumping mechanism is based on manufacturing of the pumping mechanism, wherein the calibration data is specific only to the consumable component accounting for the amount of fluid that is delivered relative to the actuation of the pumping mechanism as manufactured, wherein the calibration data is pre-determined and maintained on the readable element prior to coupling of the consumable component to a user, and wherein the calibration data that is specific to the consumable component is accessible for controlling signals delivered to the pumping mechanism for delivery of fluid to the user after coupling of the consumable component to the user.
