1. A medication infusion safety device, comprising:
a medication reservoir containing a medication;
an infusion pump containing a first part which includes a pump mechanism and is provided with a spike adapted to insert into at least one outlet port of the medication reservoir and a second part containing a motor for driving the pump mechanism of the first part; and
a memory reader associated with the second part of the infusion pump and adapted to read data when the infusion pump is coupled to the medication reservoir,
wherein the infusion pump is coupled to the medication reservoir with a distance between a memory and the memory reader being equal to or lower than a predetermined maximum reading distance of the memory reader, wherein the predetermined maximum reading distance is determined to be less than a maximum reading distance;
wherein the second part of the infusion pump is adapted to control an infusion based on an evaluation of data read by the memory reader so that only when the evaluation determines that the medication is correct, the infusion from the medication reservoir is initiated.
