Abstract

The present invention generally relates to the insertion of a transcutaneous device of the type comprising a cannula (651) and a therein moveably arranged insertion needle (661), as well as the connecting of such a transcutaneous device with a fluid supply. Thus, a device is provided comprising an insertion needle and a cannula disposed on and being axially moveable relative to the insertion needle, the insertion needle comprising a proximal fluid inlet, a seal (655) being provided between the cannula and the insertion needle allowing fluid to be transported from the fluid inlet to the distal fluid outlet, wherein the insertion needle after having been used to insert the cannula is arranged at a retracted position proximally of the initial position, thereby allowing the fluid inlet to be connected to a fluid supply when it is moved from its initial to its retracted position.
