1. A system, comprising:
a computer;
a flow sensor system configured to communicate with the computer, wherein the flow sensor system includes a flow sensor for sensing a flow of a fluidic medicament administered through the flow sensor system;
wherein the computer is configured to:
receive, from the flow sensor system, information associated with the fluidic medicament;
control, based on the information associated with the fluidic medicament received from the flow sensor system, a display to display, for the flow sensor system, a real-time representation of the fluidic medicament administered through the flow sensor system; and
control the display to display a message in response to the flow sensor system communicating with the computer when a useful life of the flow sensor is completed,
wherein the flow sensor system further includes a base configured to be removably connected to the flow sensor, and
wherein the flow sensor is configured to communicate with the base via a plurality of spring contacts and a circuit for conducting an electrical signal to and from the spring contacts to a microprocessor in the base.
