When the delivery rate was set to
0.01mL/hr, the measured flow is shown in
Figure 123.

18.7 Occlusion Detection
(Maximum Infusion Pressure)
When the pressure inside of the reservoir
reaches a maximum of 100kPa±30kPa, the
occlusion alarm will occur and the motor
system will rewind automatically.
18.8 Occlusion Alarm Time
When a fluid obstruction is detected,
an occlusion alarm occurs. An average of
2.5U of insulin will be delivered before this
alarm appears.
The Table below shows three delivery
speeds and the respective occlusion alarm
delays using U100 insulin.
18.9 Overdose/Underdose
The pump contains sensors whose sole
purpose is to verify the infusion accuracy.
