  • Publication number: 20240341643
    Abstract: Medical devices and methods are disclosed for detecting an analyte in a body fluid. The medical device comprises an analyte sensor having an insertable portion adapted for insertion into body tissue of a user. An insertion cannula receives the analyte sensor therein. A housing forms a sealed sensor compartment receiving an insertable portion of the analyte sensor. The sealed sensor compartment comprises a detachable upper cap and a detachable lower cap. The detachable lower cap is configured for detachment before sensor insertion. The cannula is attached to the detachable upper cap, wherein the detachable upper cap is configured for detachment after insertion, thereby removing the insertion cannula.
