1. A medical infusion pump system, comprising:
- a portable pump housing that receives an insulin medicine for dispensation to a user, the pump housing at least partially containing a pump drive system to dispense the insulin medicine through a flow path to the user;
a controller that activates the pump drive system to dispense the insulin medicine from the portable pump housing, the controller operating an occlusion detection system that detects a fluid condition in the flow path, the occlusion detection system having an adjustable sensitivity, wherein the controller outputs an occlusion alarm to the user when an occlusion is detected in the flow path; and
a monitoring device that communicates glucose information to the controller, the glucose information being indicative of a blood glucose level of the user,wherein the sensitivity of the occlusion detection system is adjusted in response to the glucose information received by the controller from the monitoring device.

Abstract
Some embodiments of a portable infusion pump system can be configured to can be configured to adjust the sensitivity of particular detectors or alert systems based (at least in part) on information received from a monitoring device. For example, a glucose monitoring device can communication with an infusion pump assembly used to supply insulin or another medication to a user. In such circumstances, the data received from the monitoring device can be used to adjust the sensitivity of an occlusion detection system.
