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.

Smart connection interface

A fluid reservoir for a fluid infusion device is provided. The fluid reservoir includes a first portion that has a first end and a second end. The first end includes a fluid delivery port and at least one bubble retaining feature adjacent to the fluid delivery port. The fluid reservoir includes a second portion received in the second end of the first portion and movable within the first portion from the first end to the second end. The fluid reservoir defines a fluid chamber between the first portion and the second portion.

Fluid reservoir and systems for filling a fluid reservoir of a fluid infusion device

A system for filling a fluid reservoir of a fluid infusion device with a fluid is provided. The system includes the fluid reservoir having a first portion and a second portion. A fluid chamber is defined between the first portion and the second portion. The second portion is movable within the first portion and includes an interface. The system includes a transfer guard having a first end and a second end. The first end to be coupled to a source of the fluid and the second end having at least one locking member that couples to the interface. The transfer guard defines a fluid flow path for the fluid from the source, and the transfer guard is movable relative to the first portion to fill the fluid chamber with the fluid.
