An implantable pump and methods for detecting leaks in an implantable pump are provided. The method also includes the steps of morphing the model of the vehicle into a morphed model of the vehicle including the modifiable parameter using a computer visualization, and analyzing the morphed model of the vehicle using a computer aided engineering analysis. Further, the apparatus includes a first switch, a second switch, and a third switch having first terminals coupled together, and the apparatus includes a fourth switch between the first switch and the second DC source terminal, a fifth switch between the second switch and the second DC source terminal, and a sixth switch between the third switch and the second DC source terminal. The needle-receiving portion extends from the second end of the body portion and terminates in a distal end. The monitoring system detects events, trends and solar panel array asymmetry.
