  • Patent number: 12290385
    Abstract: A device and method for delivering a device such as a sensor or fluid transport structure or a fluid transport structure sensor combination into, for example, mammalian skin. Such a device allows a sensor to penetrate mammalian skin without the use of an introducer device such as a needle. A device in accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure includes a housing for attachment to mammalian skin including an exit port for receiving the distal end of a biosensor and an injection activation device including a mechanism for forcing the sensing device from a first position within the housing, through the exit port to a second position, with sufficiently high velocity to partially penetrate the mammalian skin.

  • Patent number: 8483792
    Abstract: Embodiments herein provide an analyte sensor subassembly that provides an integrated structure enabling suitably secure electrical contact between an analyte sensor and the electronic components of an analyte sensor assembly. An analyte sensor subassembly assists the process of inserting the sensor into skin. An analyte sensor subassembly may operate in concert with one or more sensor insertion tools to provide insertion of an analyte sensor into the skin of a subject/patient. Associated devices, such as channel guides and sensor insertion tools, are also provided, as are methods of operation and sensor insertion.

  • Publication number: 20080139903
    Abstract: A device and method for delivering a device such as a sensor or fluid transport structure or a fluid transport structure sensor combination into, for example, animal skin. Such a device utilizes an introducer device such as a needle or trocar to puncture skin and allow a sensor to enter through the resultant skin puncture. A device in accordance with embodiments of the present invention includes a housing for mounting to animal skin including an opening for receiving both the distal end of an analyte sensor and the end of an introducer, an actuator device for forcing the introducer from a first position within the housing, through the exit port to a second position, with sufficient force to puncture skin.
