Systems and methods are provided for signaling a condition of an infusion assembly. An example system may comprise an elastomeric pump that includes a chamber for receipt of a volume of fluid, an outer layer configured to expand and contract as the chamber receives and dispenses the fluid, and a passive indicator provided on the outer layer for signaling a change in the volume of the fluid in the chamber. The example system further may comprise an image capture device configured to capture an image of the pump, and a processing system configured to process the image to signal the condition of the infusion assembly to a user of the system. An example method may comprise capturing the image of the pump; processing the image; and displaying information to the user of the pump to communicate a condition of the pump to the user. Various elastomeric pumps for infusion assemblies also are provided.
