Abstract:
A fluid delivery device including a housing, a reservoir positioned within the housing, and a transcutaneous access tool positioned within the housing and including, a cannula in fluid communication with the reservoir and linearly moveable along an axis of the transcutaneous access tool through a port in a wall of the housing, a deployment member secured to the cannula and movable along the axis of the transcutaneous access tool against the wall of the housing defining the port, and an annular seal coaxially positioned about the cannula and positioned between the deployment member and the wall of the housing defining the port, so that the seal provides a substantially fluid-tight seal between the deployment member and the wall of the housing when the deployment member is moved against the wall of the housing.
