Disclosed herein is an identification system for an infusion set when the infusion set is installed in a pump. The identification system includes a pump, at least one sensor, a catheter, a tube and an alarm. The pump includes at least one sensor disposed thereon, which is in communication with the alarm. The catheter includes a distal end adapted for insertion into a body, and a proximal end opposite the distal end. The tube is operatively configured at a first end to removeably attach to the proximal end of the catheter, and the tube further includes a second end proximate to the sensor(s) on the pump. The sensor(s) are operatively configured to receive a signal generated at the first end or along a length of the tube, and to trigger the alarm upon receiving the signal so as to identify the corresponding pump.
