Abstract

A sensor assembly may include a sensor surrounding a connector of a medical device. The sensor may be configured to detect a dimension of an end of another connector of another medical device when the another connector of the another medical device is connected to the connector of the medical device. A system may include the sensor assembly and one or more processors programmed and/or configured to determine a type of the another medical device based on the detected dimension. A method may include detecting, with a sensor surrounding a connector of a medical device, a dimension of an end of another connector of another medical device when the another connector of the another medical device is connected to the connector of the medical device; and determining a type of the another medical device based on the detected dimension.
