Abstract

An infusion device for subcutaneously administering a medication or a therapeutic fluid to a patient includes a base element which has fluid receiving means for receiving the fluid and fluid communication means for transferring the fluid into a cannula. The base element has at least one recess accommodating a septum that is pierceable by a needle. The septum is secured to the base element by a septum housing in such a way that a fluid transfer volume is formed in the recess between an internal surface of the septum and an inner section of the recess. The fluid transfer volume is in communication with the fluid communication means, and the septum housing accommodates a premounted septum. The septum housing is fixed and fluid sealed to the base element in the inner section of the recess.
