Occlusion Alarm with Monoject 60ml Syringes

We recently re-introduced Monoject 60ml syringes in our institution. We were using BD syringes during the Monoject syringe shortage. We have seen an increase in occlusion alarms with continuous infusions when using the 60ml Monoject syringes. We use Alaris pumps. Has anyone else experienced this issue and what steps have you used to address the problem?

Thank you in advance for your response.
