Abstract
A fluid detection system includes a wicking material to draw fluid away from a first location with space limitations and proximate to a fluid device or a fluid interface. The wicking material draws the fluid to a remote fluid indicator at a second location. Contact between fluid and the remote fluid indicator produces a detectable alteration to the remote fluid indicator, and a non-contact optical sensor detects the alteration.
