Abstract:
A method and apparatus for a connection interface between a reservoir or syringe, infusion set tubing, and an infusion pump is provided. The reservoir, a base and a cap are connected to form an integrated unit that is capable of being inserted and secured in an infusion pump housing. The cap and the infusion pump are each provided with at least one sensor or at least one detectable feature, arranged to interact with at least one corresponding detectable feature or sensor on the other of the cap and infusion pump device, to detect one or more of the presence, position or other characteristic of the cap when the cap is aligned or coupled with the infusion pump housing. The detectable feature and sensor may be magnetic, RF, mechanical, optical or any combination.

Claim (Index 1):
An interface system, comprising:\n a first device unit; a second device unit; at least one sensor element arranged on or within the second device unit; at least one magnetic detectable feature arranged on or within the first device unit for detection by the at least one sensor element when the first device unit is brought within detection range of the at least one sensor element; wherein the at least one magnetic detectable feature comprises a magnetic field angle of a magnet that is attached to or located within the first device unit, the magnetic field angle being an angle of orientation of a magnetic field of the magnet relative to a predefined axis of the first device unit, the magnetic field angle being non-parallel and non-perpendicular to the predefined axis; wherein the magnetic field angle of the at least one magnetic detectable feature is at least one detectable parameter associated with one or more characteristics of the first device unit or of a second device unit operable with the first device unit; and wherein one or more predefined characteristics comprises a type or identity of a manufacturer of the first device unit or of the second device unit, or a size of the first device unit or of the second device unit.
