Abstract
Described is drug infusion device and lineset for delivering medication. The novel pump and lineset described herein eliminate the ability of the pump and lineset from being primed when the cartridge reservoir is in fluid communication with the drug-delivering cannula, through which medication is delivered, is inserted into the skin of a patient. The system and method of the invention include a lineset having a plurality of electrical leads for allowing electrical communication between the infusion pump and the infusion set and for allowing the pump to determine whether the lineset is connected to the infusion set when a priming operation is initiated.
