Zusammenfassung: | A system, method and device for determining a volume of a fluid in a medication container is disclosed. An infusion of a medication is initiated from a medication container. The medication container includes one or more radio frequency identification (RFID) tags affixed along a side of the container. A radio frequency (RF) signal is directed from a reader device toward the RFID tags disposed on the medication container. A signal strength of one or more returned respective RF signals from the one or more RFID tags is detected, the returned RF signals including one or more identifiers for identifying the one or more RFID tags. A threshold signal level for determining a level of fluid within the medication container is determined, and a volume of the fluid is then determined by determining which of the returned respective RF signals has a signal strength satisfying the threshold signal level. |
