Abstract: A continuous analyte sensor system for monitoring a level of an analyte in a bodily fluid of a user. The system comprises a sensor electronics system and an analyte sensor. The sensor electronics system comprises a transceiver for transmitting outgoing signals including the data relating to the analyte level and for receiving incoming signals. The transceiver comprises an electromagnetic signal generating component having first and second signal feed points. The sensor electronics system operates in a first and/or second communication mode. In the first communication mode, the sensor electronics system supplies first outgoing signals to the first signal feed point. In the second communication mode, the sensor electronics system supplies second outgoing signals to the second signal feed point.

Abstract: A system, apparatus, or device that includes an analyte sensor for monitoring analyte levels. The system, apparatus, or device can include a printed circuit board configured to monitor an analyte level, and a battery connected to the printed circuit board and configured to power the printed circuit board. The system, apparatus, or device can also include a connector connected to the printed circuit board and configured to establish an electrical connection between and analyte sensor and the printed circuit board, and a processor connected to the printed circuit board and configured to process data associated with the monitored analyte level. In addition, the system, apparatus, or device, can include an antenna for transmitting the monitored analyte level resting on a plurality of risers. The risers can extend from a surface of the printed circuit board by a fixed distance.

Abstract: A method includes assembling a sensor subassembly that includes a sensor, a sensor mount, a collar, a sharp, and a sensor cap. The method includes loading a sensor in a sensor mount; dispensing adhesive into a mount channel of the sensor mount; clamping a collar to the sensor mount; and curing the adhesive to fix the collar to the sensor mount. The method can also include inserting a sharp into the sensor mount over the sensor an attaching a sensor cap to the sensor and sensor sharp to provide a sealed sensor subassembly. Methods of assembling an on-body sensor puck assembly and an applicator assembly, and a sensor including a tail, a flag, and a neck that interconnects the tail and the flag and methods of configuring a sensor are also disclosed.
