Disclosed is a medical monitoring device coupled to a drug-delivery tube disposed to deliver drug to a patient. The medical monitoring device contains a pressure sensor positioned to sense the internal pressure of the drug-delivery tube and the output of the pressure sensor is transmitted to an occlusion program stored within the medical monitoring device. 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 of the alarm setting. The occlusion program may change the alarm setting based entirely, or in part, on the variable commanded flow rate of the drug. |
