EBME Forums Forums Maintenance Technical Assistance Occlusion Pressure Setting in Syringe Pumps

I am not sure if this is the proper forum.Please transfer it if just in case.

My question is regarding the setting of the maximum occlusion pressure on a syringe pump.Other than to be able to detect kinks on the tubing perhaps,will this setting have any effect on the patient in case it is too high?
Why am I asking this? Well if you inject a patient manually there is NO CONTROL whatsoever on the occlusion pressure the hand exerts on the the syringe,so why bother to set it for a pump?
