Patent Summary

A sensor insertion assembly for positioning an on-body patch device comprises an insertion device, an integrated sensor, and a sensor electronics assembly. The insertion device includes a housing, an introducer, and a bias mechanism. The introducer is configured to pierce a user's skin surface to position the sensor in fluid contact with an analyte. The insertion device moves the introducer, sensor, and sensor electronics assembly within the housing toward the skin surface. The bias mechanism is configured to retract the introducer from an insertion position to a retracted position, ensuring the introducer is entirely retained within the housing. The assembly facilitates minimally invasive, low-profile deployment of the sensor and electronics for continuous or discrete analyte monitoring.
