Occlusions in a delivery line of an infusion pump can be detected by measuring pressure differentials in the pump over short periods of time in order to minimize the effects of long term systematic sensor changes. In a delivery mode such as basal insulin delivery where a small portion of a volume of fluid is delivered, pressure readings can be obtained before and after the motor move to deliver each portion and compared. The differentials after one or more motor moves can be compared to determine whether an occlusion is present. In a delivery mode such as bolus insulin delivery in which an entire volume of fluid is delivered, pressure differentials can be obtained for consecutive deliveries at a common point in the delivery cycle of each delivery. Comparison of these pressure values can be used to determine whether an occlusion is present.

1.

The method of claim 1, wherein the infusion pump further comprises a pressure sensor in communication with the interior volume of the infusion cartridge located in one of the infusion cartridge and the pump device, wherein the method further comprises: obtaining a first pressure reading of the pressure in the interior volume of the infusion cartridge from the pressure sensor;obtaining a second pressure reading of the pressure in the interior volume of the infusion cartridge from the pressure sensor following the operation configured to deliver fluid from the collapsible volume to the patient;comparing the first pressure reading to the second pressure reading; anddetermining whether the distal section of the spool moved axially at a time during the operation configured to deliver fluid from the collapsible volume to the patient when the distal section should have remained stationary based on the comparison. 3. The method of claim 2, wherein the operation delivers a portion of the fluid in the collapsible volume and determining whether the distal section of the spool moved axially at a time during the operation configured to deliver fluid from the collapsible volume to the patient when the distal section should have remained stationary includes determining that the distal section of the spool moved if the second pressure reading is not the same as the first pressure reading. 4. The method of claim 2, wherein the operation delivers all of the fluid in the collapsible volume and determining whether the distal section of the spool moved axially at a time during the operation configured to deliver fluid from the collapsible volume to the patient when the distal section should have remained stationary includes determining that the distal section of the spool moved if the second pressure reading is the same as the first pressure reading. 5. The method of claim 2, wherein the pressure sensor is disposed in the pump device. 6. The method of claim 1, wherein selectively generating the occlusion alarm includes ceasing all delivery of fluid from the reservoir. 7. A method of detecting occlusions in an infusion pump comprising a disposable infusion cartridge and a pump device, the infusion cartridge including a collapsible reservoir for containing a fluid and a substantially rigid shell disposed over the collapsible reservoir and forming an interior volume between an outside surface of the collapsible reservoir and an inside surface of the shell, the infusion cartridge further including a delivery mechanism having a spool slidingly disposed in a bore, the spool including a main section and a distal section axially displaceable relative to the main section with a collapsible volume formed between a seal on the main section and a seal on the distal section, the pump device configured to selectively receive the infusion cartridge and cooperate with the infusion cartridge to deliver fluid from the reservoir into the collapsible volume and to a patient, the pump device including a drive mechanism powered by a motor and selectively engageable with the spool to impart controlled axial movements to the spool to deliver fluid to the patient, the infusion pump further comprising a pressure sensor in communication with the interior volume of the infusion cartridge and located in one of the infusion cartridge and the pump device, wherein the method comprises: actuating the motor to deliver a portion of fluid contained in the collapsible volume;obtaining a first pressure reading of the pressure in the interior volume of the infusion cartridge from the pressure sensor prior to actuating the motor;obtaining a second pressure reading of the pressure in the interior volume of the infusion cartridge from the pressure sensor after the motor is powered down following actuation;comparing the first pressure reading to the second pressure reading; andselectively generating an occlusion alarm based on the comparison of the first pressure reading to the second pressure reading if the second pressure reading is not the same as the first pressure reading. 8. The method of claim 7, wherein the first pressure reading is obtained immediately prior to actuating the motor and the second pressure reading is obtained immediately after the motor is powered down following actuation. 9. The method of claim 7, wherein selectively generating an occlusion alarm includes only generating the occlusion alarm if the second pressure reading is not the same as the first pressure reading and at least one previously obtained pressure reading. 10. The method of claim 7, wherein the second pressure reading is not the same as the first pressure reading if it is not within a predetermined threshold of the first pressure reading. 11.
