Flow sensor system with connection assembly

A system comprising:

• a flow sensor contained within a flow sensor housing, wherein the flow sensor includes at least one sensor to characterize at least one attribute of a fluid from a fluid source and a fluid injection port including luer lock threads engageable with the fluid source;
• a base that houses:
• a camera that reads one or more attributes of a machine-readable indicia provided on a syringe label of an encoded syringe;
• a controller that generates at least one operation modification signal in response to the one or more attributes matching at least one condition specified by at least one rule, wherein the flow sensor is separable from and mountable onto the base, and wherein said at least one sensor is in electrical communication with said controller via a connection between the flow sensor and the base when the flow sensor is mounted onto the base;
• and
• a wireless transmitter that wirelessly transmits the at least one operation modification signal to an external computing device that is external to the base and the flow sensor and that causes the external computing device to display an alarm or transmit a signal back to the controller housed in the base that causes the controller to control the system to stop a flow of the fluid through the flow sensor,
• wherein the camera is disposed within or behind a first window in the base, and
• wherein, when the flow sensor is mounted on the base and the encoded syringe is connected to the fluid injection port of the flow sensor, the window of the base is aligned with the luer lock threads of the fluid injection port of the flow sensor, such that the machine-readable indicia provided on the syringe label of the encoded syringe is aligned with the window and an axis of the camera.
