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):
A connector interface system, comprising:\n a reservoir to be received within a reservoir receptacle of an infusion pump device, the reservoir to contain infusion media to be selectively dispensed from the reservoir when the reservoir is received within the reservoir receptacle; a connector interface to connect the reservoir with the infusion pump device, the connector interface comprising a cap to connect to the reservoir to form a reservoir/cap unit for installation into the infusion pump device; an infusion set coupled to the cap via a tubing for conveying infusion media dispensed from the reservoir; and at least two detectable features arranged on the cap for detection by at least one sensor element on the infusion pump device when the reservoir of the reservoir/cap unit is received in the reservoir receptacle of the infusion pump device, wherein the at least two detectable features include at least one detectable parameter that is associated with one or more characteristics of the cap, the reservoir, a cannula, or the tubing; wherein the one or more characteristics of the cap, the reservoir, the cannula, or the tubing includes a type or identity of a manufacturer of the cap, the reservoir, the cannula or the tubing, or a size of the cap, the reservoir, the cannula or the tubing; and wherein the at least two detectable features are detected by the at least one sensor element when the cap is in a proper or fully installed position within the reservoir receptacle of the infusion pump device.
