1. A method of operating a medical infusion pump system, comprising:
- activating an occlusion detection system to detect a fluid condition in a flow path extending from a medicine reservoir in a portable pump assembly to a user, the portable pump assembly including a pump drive system to dispense medicine through the flow path to the user;
receiving glucose information from a monitoring device, the glucose information being indicative of a detected blood glucose level of the user;
adjusting a sensitivity of the occlusion detection system in response to receiving the glucose information from the monitoring device; and
outputting an occlusion alarm to the user when an occlusion is detected in the flow path.

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.
