Summary: | A fluid infusion device that delivers medication fluid to a user includes a removable fluid reservoir having a reservoir port and a hollow fluid reservoir needle, a base plate having a reservoir port receptacle for the reservoir port and the reservoir needle, and an inlet structure in the reservoir port receptacle to define at least a portion of a fluid chamber. The fluid infusion device also includes a needle sealing element having a base section, an end section opposite the base section, a neck section between the base section and the end section, and a needle opening extending through the base section, the neck section, and the end section. A compression element is coupled around the neck section to impart an inward biasing force near the needle opening. |
