An infusion device determines, using a pressure sensor, a pressure decay inside an infusion line associated with an infusion of a fluid to a patient by an infusion device, whereby the pressure decay does not satisfy a default pressure threshold for triggering an occlusion alarm. The infusion device further detects, using an air sensor, air inside the infusion line in an amount that does not satisfy a default air-in-line threshold for triggering an air-in-line alarm. Then, before the pressure decay satisfies the default pressure threshold, the infusion device triggers the occlusion alarm based on the determined pressure decay and the detected amount of air.
