Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	An infusion pump operable with a syringe having a syringe barrel and a syringe plunger includes a housing having a compartment to receive the syringe and defining a wall, and a syringe clamp moveable towards and away from the wall, the syringe clamp contacting the syringe barrel; a drive mechanism supported and structured and arranged to contact and end of the syringe plunger so as to be able to move the syringe plunger within the syringe barrel; a syringe barrel size sensor including a magnet operably coupled to the syringe clamp, and a sensing member supported by the housing and configured to generate an output indicative of a magnetic field associated with the magnet; and software installed on the pump and programmed to use the output to determine a size of the syringe barrel received by the compartment.
