An infusion pump determines whether a pressure change is due to backpressure associated with a patient infusion line set associated with the intravenous infusion line or due to static pressure associated with a fluid container providing a fluid to the intravenous infusion line, determines that the pressure change did not result from an occlusion event based on the pressure change occurring over the first threshold period of time and, after determining that the pressure increase did not result from an occlusion event, the pump provides an indication that the pressure change is associated with the medical container or patient infusion line set and adjusts a motor speed of the pump or an amount of compression provided to the intravenous infusion line.
