  • Patent number: 11234622
    Abstract: Glucose monitoring devices and related systems and methods, the glucose monitoring devices including a sensor electronics unit having a housing and a printed circuit board disposed within the housing, a transcutaneous glucose sensor assembly, and a conductive sensor connector. The printed circuit board includes a first electrical contact, the transcutaneous glucose sensor assembly includes a distal portion having a working electrode and proximal portion having a working-electrode contact in electrical communication with the working electrode, and the conductive sensor connector electrically connects the working-electrode contact with the first electrical contact. Further, the conductive sensor connector extends through a hole in the proximal portion of the transcutaneous glucose sensor assembly and through a hole in the printed circuit board.

  • Publication number: 20220007973
    Abstract: Systems, devices and methods are provided for inserting at least a portion of an in vivo analyte sensor, such as a dermal sensor, for sensing an analyte level in a bodily fluid of a subject. An applicator is positioned against a skin surface and a force is applied to the applicator causing at least a portion of a sharp and an in vivo analyte sensor to be positioned in the body of the subject. In particular, disclosed herein are embodiments of applicators designed to prevent premature sharp withdrawal and/or reduce the likelihood of improper sensor insertion. Also disclosed are embodiments of applicators including sharp modules having an angled sharp which can be configured to create an insertion path for a sensor.
