Infusion system consumables and related calibration methods

A system comprising:

• a consumable comprising:
• a housing including a reservoir contained within the housing and a tubing contained within the housing in fluid communication with the reservoir to dispense a fluid from the reservoir;
• and
• a readable element associated with the housing, wherein the readable element maintains calibration data indicating an amount of the fluid that is delivered relative to actuation of a pumping mechanism, wherein the amount of the fluid that is delivered relative to the actuation of the pumping mechanism is based on manufacturing of the pumping mechanism, wherein the calibration data is specific only to the consumable component accounting for the amount of fluid that is delivered relative to the actuation of the pumping mechanism as manufactured, wherein the calibration data is pre-determined and maintained on the readable element prior to coupling of the consumable to a user, and wherein the calibration data that is specific to the consumable component is accessible for controlling signals delivered to the pumping mechanism for delivery of fluid to the user after coupling of the consumable component to the user;
• and
• an infusion device configured to receive the housing and including an interface to obtain the calibration data from the readable element, wherein the infusion device is configured to determine the signals delivered to the pumping mechanism for the delivery of fluid to the user based on the calibration data, and deliver the determined signals to the pumping mechanism.

A method of manufacturing a consumable component comprising a port or outlet to engage an infusion arrangement and tubing providing a path for fluid flow from a reservoir to the port or outlet, the method comprising:

• actuating, by a control module, a peristaltic pumping mechanism by a reference amount, wherein the peristaltic pumping mechanism comprises rollers coupled to a rotor to compress portions of the tubing and dispense a fluid in response to rotation of the rotor;
• obtaining, by the control module from a sensing arrangement, a measured response to the reference amount;
• determining, by the control module, calibration data associated with the consumable component based on the relationship between the measured response and the reference amount of actuation;
• and
• writing, by the control module, the calibration data to a readable element associated with the consumable component.
