Pressure limits on infusion pumps

Hi all,
Does anybody have any experience around setting reduced infusion pump pressure limits for low flow rate drugs i.e.vasoactive agents? We understand that low flow rate drugs can result in longer times to alarm if obstructed and sometimes that can delay necessary patient review.
