Abstract
An inserter assembly that has a base, a needle, an inner part that selectively transitions the needle from a retracted position substantially within the base to an extended position where at least a portion of the needle extends outside of the base, and an insertion angle component. As the inner part of the inserter assembly transitions from the retracted position to the extended position, the needle is at least partially deflected by the insertion angle component.
Claims11
An inserter assembly, comprising:
- a base;
- a needle;
- an inner part configured to selectively transition the needle from a retracted position substantially within the base to an extended position where at least a portion of the needle extends outside of the base;
- an insertion angle component;
- and
- a base fluid channel defined partially in the base and an inner fluid channel defined in the inner part,
- wherein, as the inner part transitions the needle from the retracted position to the extended position, the needle is at least partially deflected by the insertion angle component,
- wherein the base fluid channel is fluidly coupled to the inner fluid channel,
- wherein the inner fluid channel is fluidly coupled to a needle fluid channel, and
- wherein fluid from the base fluid channel is directed partially through the inner fluid channel of the inner part and into the needle fluid channel of the needle regardless of a rotation angle of the inner part relative to the base about a rotation axis.

An inserter assembly, comprising:
- a base;
- a needle;
- an inner part configured to selectively transition the needle from a retracted position substantially within the base to an extended position where at least a portion of the needle extends outside of the base;
- an insertion angle component;
- and
- a top assembly that is selectable to transition the needle from the retracted position to the extended position, wherein the top assembly comprises a driver, a lid, a release mechanism, and a spring positioned there between;
- wherein, as the inner part transitions the needle from the retracted position to the extended position, the needle is at least partially deflected by the insertion angle component, and
- wherein the top assembly is removable from the base and the inner part.

- and
- an insertion angle component,
- wherein, as the inner part transitions the needle from the retracted position to the extended position, the needle is at least partially deflected by the insertion angle component, and
- wherein the insertion angle component is removable from the base and a plurality of different insertion angle components are coupleable to the base to provide a selectable insertion angle of the needle in the extended position, each one of the plurality of different insertion angle components providing a different insertion angle.
