• a front end configured to be placed adjacent to a needle insertion site of the patient,
• a rear end opposite of the front end, and
• a plurality of positioning features configured to be used for positioning and aligning the device on the patient;
• a needle channel disposed on the top surface adjacent to the front end and comprising a channel outlet facing the front end and a channel inlet opposite the channel outlet;
• and
• a needle guidance protrusion disposed on the top surface and including a sloped surface having a first end disposed adjacent to the channel inlet and a second end displaced from the first end toward the direction of the rear end of the base, wherein the sloped surface is sloped at a slope angle such that the second end is disposed at a greater elevation from the top surface of the base than the first end,
• wherein the needle assembly is configured to be placed on the sloped surface and pushed down the sloped surface such that a needle of the needle assembly travels through the needle channel to the needle insertion site to form an insertion puncture in the skin of the patient.
