Abstract
A locking mechanism is provided for use with a reservoir and a reservoir holder so as to prevent unwanted tampering with the reservoir. The mechanism comprises a main body that is coupled to the reservoir. A first bendable feature is provided on the main body. The first bendable feature snaps from a first position to a second position. In the second position, at least a portion of the bendable feature retains the reservoir within the locking mechanism.
