Abstract
An apparatus for use with an access port implanted in a living body includes a locator assembly. The locator assembly includes a sensor configured to sense an aspect of the access port, where the aspect includes at least two different material densities. The locator assembly also includes a controller configured to determine a location of the access port based on differentiating the at least two different material densities of the access port. The at least two different material densities correspond to at least two different elements of the access port including at least one of a port housing or an elastomeric pierceable port septum. The locator assembly also includes an output device configured to provide feedback to a user, and the controller is further configured to instruct the output device to provide the feedback to the user based on the determined location of the access port.
