1. A medical delivery device comprising:
a pump having a minimum and maximum delivery volume;
a controller configured to:
determine a first volume of infusible medical fluid delivered;
based on the first volume of infusible medical fluid delivered, determine a time and volume for delivery of a second volume of infusible fluid; and
a reservoir wherein the pump effectuates the movement of infusible medical fluid from the reservoir to a volume sensor assembly wherein the volume sensor assembly comprises;
an acoustically contiguous region having a volume that varies based upon the quantity of infusible fluid received from the reservoir, and
an acoustic energy emitter configured to provide acoustic energy at a plurality of frequencies to excite a gas included within the acoustically contiguous region.
