Abstract
An open seal check system for a multi-chamber supply container having at least one elongated seal, the system includes: (i) a base configured to support the multi chamber container; (ii) a plurality of electrodes positioned on the base so as to be at least substantially parallel with the elongated seal; and (iii) electronics connected to the electrodes, the electrodes each forming a capacitor with the multi-chamber supply container when the container is placed on the base, the electronics configured to output a single indication of a dielectric associated with each capacitor.
