1. A method of infusing a fluid, comprising:
- receiving values of one or more infusion parameters for an infusion of a fluid;
calculating, based on the received infusion parameter values, an occlusion pressure threshold for the infusion of the fluid;
sensing, during the infusion, fluid pressure; and
providing an indication responsive to whether a value of the sensed fluid pressure contravenes the occlusion pressure threshold.

Abstract
A method of infusing a fluid includes receiving values of one or more infusion parameters for an infusion of a fluid. Based on the received infusion parameter values, an occlusion pressure threshold for the infusion of the fluid is automatically calculated. During the infusion, a fluid pressure value is sensed. An indication is provided responsive to whether a value of the sensed fluid pressure is greater than the occlusion pressure threshold.
