a mount that includes wings defined on opposed sides of the mount, each of the wings received within a respective one of the pair of rails to position the pump clip on the fluid infusion device, a first lock tab cantilevered and movable relative to the mount to couple the pump clip to the fluid infusion device and a lip, the mount having a first mount end opposite a second mount end, with the first lock tab extending beyond the first mount end and the lip defined at the second mount end;

a base coupled to the mount that defines a second lock tab that engages with the lip to retain the mount in a first position, the mount pivotable about a first pivot axis into a second position in which the mount is spaced apart from the base; and

a clip coupled to the base, the clip pivotable about a second pivot axis relative to the base between a first, clamped position and a second, released position to receive an article.

2. The portable fluid infusion device system of claim 1 , wherein the mount is pivotable from the first position to the second position based on a disengagement of the second lock tab and the lip.

3. The portable fluid infusion device system of claim 1 , wherein the base defines a recess on a first base side, and the pump clip further comprises a leaf spring retained in the recess and coupled to the base, the leaf spring biases the clip in the first, clamped position.

4. The portable fluid infusion device system of claim 1 , further comprising a stepped hinge pin, and the hinge pin is coupled to the mount and the base to define the first pivot axis.

5. The portable fluid infusion device system of claim 1 , further comprising a stepped clamp pin, and the clamp pin is coupled to the base and the clip to define the second pivot axis.

6. The portable fluid infusion device system of claim 1 , wherein the clip includes a first end opposite a second end, and the second end includes a clip projection that includes a protrusion that mates with the base to define a tortuous path.

7. The portable fluid infusion device system of claim 6 , wherein the base has a first base end opposite a second base end, and the second base end defines a clip recess that includes an indentation that mates with the protrusion of the clip projection to define the tortuous path.

8. The portable fluid infusion device system of claim 1 , wherein the mount has a first mount side opposite a second mount side, and the first lock tab includes a snap fit feature that extends outwardly from the second mount side to engage with the fluid infusion device.

9. A portable fluid infusion device system, comprising:

a fluid infusion device having a pump clip interface that defines a pair of rails; and

a pump clip coupled to the pump clip interface, the pump clip including:

a mount that includes wings defined on opposed sidewalls of the mount, a first lock tab and a lip, each of the wings received within a respective one of the pair of rails to position the pump clip on the fluid infusion device and the first lock tab is cantilevered and is movable relative to the pump clip interface between a first, engaged position in which the first lock tab cooperates with the pump clip interface to couple the pump clip to the fluid infusion device and a second, disengaged position;

a base coupled to the mount that defines a second lock tab that engages with the lip to retain the mount in a first position, the mount pivotable about a first pivot axis into a second position in which the mount is spaced apart from the base; and

a clip coupled to the base and the clip is pivotable about a second pivot axis relative to the base between a first, clamped position and a second, released position to receive an article.

10. The portable fluid infusion device system of claim 9 , wherein based on a disengagement of the second lock tab and the lip, the mount pivots from the first position to the second position.

11. The portable fluid infusion device system of claim 9 , wherein the base defines a recess on a first base side, and the pump clip further comprises a leaf spring retained in the recess and coupled to the base, the leaf spring biases the clip in the first, clamped position.

12. The portable fluid infusion device system of claim 9 , further comprising a stepped hinge pin, and the hinge pin is coupled to the mount and the base to define the first pivot axis.

13. The portable fluid infusion device system of claim 9 , further comprising a stepped clamp pin, and the clamp pin is coupled to the base and the clip to define the second pivot axis.

14. The portable fluid infusion device system of claim 9 , wherein the clip includes a first end opposite a second end, and the second end includes a clip projection that includes a protrusion that mates with the base to define a tortuous path.

15. The portable fluid infusion device system of claim 9 , wherein the mount has a first mount side opposite a second mount side and a first mount end opposite a second mount end, with the first lock tab extending beyond the first mount end and the lip defined at the second mount end, the pump clip interface defines a notch, and the first lock tab includes a snap fit feature that extends outwardly from the second mount side that engages with the notch of the pump clip interface of the fluid infusion device to releasably couple the pump clip to the fluid infusion device.

16. The portable fluid infusion device system of claim 9 , wherein the fluid infusion device is an insulin infusion device.

17. A portable fluid infusion device system, comprising:

a fluid infusion device having a pump clip interface that defines a pair of rails and a notch; and

a pump clip coupled to the pump clip interface, the pump clip including:

a mount that includes wings defined on opposed sidewalls of the mount, a first lock tab and a lip, each of the wings slidably received within a respective one of the pair of rails to position the pump clip on the fluid infusion device and the first lock tab is cantilevered and movable relative to the notch of the pump clip interface between a first, engaged position in which the first lock tab is engaged with the notch to couple the pump clip to the fluid infusion device and a second, disengaged position;

a base coupled to the mount that defines a second lock tab that snap-fits with the lip to retain the mount in a first position, the mount pivotable about a first pivot axis into a second position in which the mount is spaced apart from the base; and

a clip coupled to the base and the clip is pivotable about a second pivot axis relative to the base between a first, clamped position and a second, released position to receive an article.
