Abstract: A flow control system and method of detecting a condition of a pump set mounted on the apparatus. The system configured to perform the method of advancing a first amount of the feeding formula through the feeding pump via a feeding formula conduit. Further, the system may acquire a first pressure sensor reading of the feeding formula conduit. Further, the system may advance a second amount of the feeding formula through the feeding pump via the feeding formula conduit, wherein the second amount is second volume of the liquid. Further, the system may acquire a second pressure sensor reading of the feeding formula conduit, and acquire a third pressure sensor reading of the feeding formula conduit. Further, the system may detect an occlusion in the feeding formula conduit based on at least one of the first pressure sensor reading, the second pressure sensor reading and the third pressure sensor reading.
