Disclosed is a transfer device used for the intraluminal treatment of a selected site in a body by means of a catheter adapted for intraluminal positioning in the body. The transfer device is external to the body and has a lumen for storing at least one treating element, the treating element being moved from the transfer device into the catheter by means of pressurized fluid. A system for detecting whether the treating element resides at a targeted location along the lumen of the transfer device comprises a pressure transducer in fluid communication with the lumen of the transfer device so as to be capable of measuring the fluid pressure at the targeted location of the lumen. Circuitry is provided for comparing the measured pressure to a reference pressure corresponding to the pressure at the targeted location when the treating element is stored at the targeted location under fluid pressure. A signal generator provides a signal when the measured pressure differs from the reference pressure by more than a predetermined percentage.
