Abstract

An apparatus for use with an access port implanted in a living body includes a locator assembly. The locator assembly includes at least one port sensor configured to sense an aspect of the access port, at least one skin sensor configured to sense a proximity of the apparatus to a skin of the living body, and a controller configured to determine a location of the access port based on the aspect sensed by the at least one port sensor, where the controller instructs the at least one port sensor to sense the aspect based on the proximity of the apparatus to the skin as sensed by the at least one skin sensor. The locator assembly also includes an output device configured to provide user feedback, and the controller is further configured to instruct the output device to provide the feedback based on the determined location of the access port.
