A method and apparatus for a reservoir or syringe, a connection interface between an infusion set tube and an infusion pump. A reservoir, a base, and a cap are connected to form an integrated unit that can be inserted and secured into an infusion pump housing. Each of the cap and infusion pump device 30 is provided with at least one sensor 34 or at least one detectable feature 42, which is at least one corresponding detectable feature or the other of the cap and infusion pump device. When arranged to interact with the sensor and the cap is aligned or coupled with the infusion pump housing, one or more of the presence, position or other characteristic of the cap is detected. The detectable features and sensors can be magnetic, RF, mechanical, optical, or any combination. [Selection] Figure 1 |
