Zusammenfassung:	A connection assembly for an implantable drug delivery system includes a base member configured to be attached to a skull of a recipient and a manifold. The base member includes an access hole for accessing a burr hole in the skull of the recipient and an outer guide channel that extends along an outside edge of the base member. The manifold is configured to fluidically couple a proximal end portion of a microcatheter to a distal end portion of a source catheter. The base member is configured to position the microcatheter through the access hole and in the outer guide channel when a distal end portion of the microcatheter is implanted in a brain of the recipient.
