Abstract: An inserter for inserting a needle of a drug delivery device through the skin of a user, the inserter having an inserter housing (30); a base section (60) associated with the inserter housing such that an interaction between the inserter housing and the base allows the inserter housing to tilt in relation to the base; a manually displaceable plunger (20) deployed in the housing, the plunger displaceable between a stand-by position and an insertion position; and an insertion needle (6) extending from the plunger in an insertion direction; wherein the manual displacement of the plunger is achieved by applying a force greater than a required force threshold so as to free the plunger from the stand-by position.

Abstract: An Inserter for inserting a needle through the skin of a user that includes: a needle holder block deployed in the inserter housing, the needle holder block displaceable between a cocked position and an insertion position such that when in the cocked position the needle holder block is biased toward the insertion position; a biasing element configured to bias the needle holder block toward the insertion position when the needle holder block is in the cocked position; and a manually operated mechanical controller for controlling displacement of the needle holder block so as to control at least a speed at which the needle holder block is displaced between the cocked position and the insertion position. Also described is an inserter having a mechanism for varying the biasing force of the biasing element so as to affect at least a speed at which said needle holder block is displaced.

Abstract: A device, system and method for occluding fluid flow through an infusion set detached from a patient's body. The device includes a means for detecting loss of contact to a patient's body and activating an occlusion mechanism accordingly.
