1. A fluid infusion device, comprising:
- a removable fluid reservoir;
a housing that defines an opening that receives the removable fluid reservoir and the housing includes a retaining ring having a lock, the retaining ring surrounds the opening; and
a set connector assembly removably coupled to the housing to define a fluid flow path from the fluid infusion device, the set connector assembly including a connector having a body that defines a graspable portion and a coupling portion, the coupling portion receivable within the opening of the housing and coupled to the removable fluid reservoir, the graspable portion having a main branch and at least one wing coupled to the main branch that defines a locking tab for engaging the lock, the main branch extending from the coupling portion, the main branch defines a bore that extends along a longitudinal axis of the connector to define the fluid flow path, the locking tab extends outward from the at least one wing beyond a perimeter of the coupling portion of the connector to engage the lock and the at least one wing is movable relative to the coupling portion to disengage the locking tab with the lock.

Abstract
A fluid infusion device is provided. The fluid infusion device includes a housing that includes a lock and a set connector assembly removably coupled to the housing to define a fluid flow path from the fluid infusion device. The set connector assembly includes a connector having a body that defines a graspable portion and a coupling portion. The coupling portion is receivable within the housing, and the graspable portion has at least one wing that defines a locking tab for engaging the lock. The at least one wing is movable relative to the body to disengage the locking tab with the lock.

10. A fluid infusion device, comprising:
-
a removable fluid reservoir; a housing that includes an opening that receives the removable fluid reservoir; a retaining ring coupled to the housing about the opening that includes at least one lock; and a set connector assembly removably coupled to the housing to define a fluid flow path from the fluid infusion device, the set connector assembly including a connector having a body that defines a graspable portion and a coupling portion, the coupling portion receivable within the opening of the housing and coupled to the removable fluid reservoir, and the graspable portion includes a main branch and at least one wing that defines a locking tab for engaging the at least one lock, the main branch extending from the coupling portion, the main branch defines a bore that extends along a longitudinal axis of the connector to define the fluid flow path and the locking tab extends outward from the at least one wing beyond a perimeter of the coupling portion, wherein the connector is movable relative to the housing between a first position, in which the locking tab engages the at least one lock to retain the removable fluid reservoir within the housing, and a second position, in which the locking tab is disengaged from the at least one lock to enable the removal of the removable fluid reservoir from the housing. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
