Abstract:
A fluid sensing system ( 30 ) including a fluid channel ( 32 ) with an inlet ( 34 ) and an outlet ( 36 ). A thermal device ( 38 ) is operably coupled thereto at a first position whereby thermal energy is transferable with fluid in the channel. A section of the fluid channel downstream of the first position has a predefined cross section and flow path. A thermal imaging device ( 46 ) is positioned to capture a thermal image of at least a portion of the downstream section. A processor ( 48 ) coupled with the thermal imaging device is configured to determine at least one output value representative of a property of the fluid medication or fluid flow using the thermal image. The output value may be the flow volume. In some embodiments, the fluid channel also defines a section upstream of the first position with the thermal imaging device capturing an image that includes at least portions of both the upstream and downstream sections.

Claim (Index 29):
The fluid sensing system of  claim 28  wherein the fluid channel is supported on the reservoir and the thermal imaging device and processor are non-destructively separable from the reservoir and the fluid channel whereby the reservoir and the fluid channel are disposable after the contents of the reservoir have been depleted.
