Provided are methods of amplifying nucleic acids. The methods include combining a nucleic acid sample and one or more amplification primers adapted to amplify a region of one or more copy number stable genes in a reaction mixture under conditions sufficient to amplify the one or more copy number stable genes. Aspects of the present disclosure further include compositions and kits that find use in practicing embodiments of the methods.

A medical fluid communication system is disclosed comprising a pump controller and a fluid detector. The fluid detector detects characteristics of the fluid and provides fluid measurements to the pump controller, which detects if the fluid is flowing in the medication delivery system. In the event fluid is not flowing due to an occlusion, the pump controller may attempt to resolve the occlusion or may provide a warning to a user that an occlusion is occurring.
