Abstract
A device for monitoring the position of a plunger member slidingly engaged with a main body of a syringe includes a housing structured to be selectively coupled to the main body in a readily removable manner and a monitoring system disposed at least partially on or in the housing. The monitoring system is structured to detect the absolute position of the plunger member with respect to the main body in a manner which does not require any mechanical linkage with the plunger member.
