A method includes receiving data regarding a catheter being used with the infusion device. The catheter has a lumen operably coupled to a reservoir of the infusion device and is configured to deliver fluid from the infusion device to a target location of a patient. The method further includes infusing fluid from the reservoir into the lumen of the catheter at a first rate and monitoring pressure via a pressure sensor in communication with the lumen of the catheter. Monitoring the pressure includes acquiring pressure data from the pressure sensor at a first frequency. The method also includes (i) determining whether the monitored pressure exceeds a first threshold, wherein the first threshold is based on the data regarding the catheter； and (ii) decreasing the rate at which the fluid is delivered from the reservoir into the catheter if the monitored pressure is determined to exceed the threshold.
