Abstract
A fluid infusion system is described. Certain embodiments include an infusion syringe assessment device that assesses one or more characteristics of an infusion syringe coupled to a fluid infusion pump during use. The system may include a fluid infusion pump configured to accept the infusion syringe. The fluid infusion pump may advance an infusion fluid to a test subject in accordance with an infusion routine based on one or more of the assessed characteristics of the infusion syringe. The infusion routine may include at least one rate, at least one volume, at least one start time, at least one end time, and/or at least one duration.
