In a method and apparatus for determining the volume of a bellows reservoir for medication in an infusion system which is implantable in a patient, the pressure in the reservoir is measured and the corresponding volume is determined from a predetermined relationship between pressure and volume. A pressure gauge is disposed for measuring the pressure in the bellows reservoir, and a signal corresponding to the measured pressure is supplied to a memory unit wherein a corresponding volume is determined from the measured pressure value by means of the predetermined relationship between pressure and volume being stored in the memory unit.
