Subcutaneous infusion device
First Claim
1. A subcutaneous infusion device comprising:
- a housing having an internal flow channel;
a base pivotally interconnected to the housing to allow pivotal movement of said housing with respect to said base between a first position and at least one second position;
a cannula extending from the housing and being in flow communication with said flow channel;
a connector having a needle for delivery of fluid into said flow channel, said connector removably connected to said housing;
guide means arranged on said housing and said connector for guiding the connector with the needle into a correct position in relation to the housing;
said base including means for preventing disconnection of said connector from said housing with said housing being in said first position.

Abstract
The invention relates to a subcutaneous infusion device comprising a housing; a flow channel within the housing; a cannula extending from the housing and being in flow communication with the flow channel; a connector for delivery of fluid into the flow channel; a guide means for guiding the connector with the needle into a correct position in relation to the housing; a base part where the housing is mounted pivotably in relation to this base part. By incorporating the housing pivotably in relation to a base part it is possible to pivote the housing to an increased angle in relation to the skin surface and hereby facilitate the mounting of the connector in the housing since there is now more space present for performing this operation. Hereby the handling of the device has been simplified.
