1. A medical effector subsystem comprising:

  • a) a drug-delivery tube which is adapted to contain therein a drug having a variable commanded flow rate and which is disposable to deliver the drug to a patient;

    b) a pressure sensor having an output signal and adapted to sense internal pressure of the drug-delivery tube; and

    c) a memory containing an occlusion program which when running on a processor is operatively connected to the output signal of the pressure sensor, wherein the occlusion program has a variable pressure alarm setting and alerts a user of an occluded drug-delivery tube when the output signal of the pressure sensor exceeds the variable pressure alarm setting, and wherein the occlusion program changes the variable pressure alarm setting based at least in part, and directly or indirectly, on the variable commanded flow rate of the drug.
