Claim:
1. A method for detecting a capacity of a collapsible fluid reservoir in an infusion cartridge and setting therapeutic parameters of a portable infusion pump with a processor of the portable infusion pump, comprising: obtaining from the infusion cartridge, with the processor, data on a capacity of the collapsible fluid reservoir when the infusion cartridge is loaded into the portable infusion pump; analyzing, with the processor, the obtained data on the capacity of the collapsible fluid reservoir to determine the capacity of the collapsible fluid reservoir; and determining and setting with the processor, prior to delivering therapy using the infusion cartridge, one or more therapeutic parameters of the infusion pump based on the capacity of the collapsible fluid reservoir, wherein determining and setting one or more therapeutic parameters of the infusion pump based on the capacity of the collapsible fluid reservoir determines and sets parameters at lower values for reservoirs having lower capacities and at higher values for reservoirs having higher capacities.
