This invention relates to therapeutic infusion assemblies, more
specifically a device for the subcutaneous delivery of a fluid from a
remote source. Applicant provides a base assembly which has a fluid
channel therein and a cannula extending vertically downward from a flat
bottom. A fluid connector member which receives a fluid bearing line from
the remote fluid source and the fluid connector member pivotably and
removably connects to the base member. The manner of connection is
"hinged" allowing the fluid connector to move from a non-use position by
rotation downward to a used position. In the use position a fluid channel
in the fluid connector will connect with a fluid channel in the base to
provide fluid to the cannula and to the patient.
