Clip design for a subcutaneous device

A subcutaneously implantable device comprising:

• a housing including a receiving portion;
• a clip attached to the receiving portion that is configured to move within the receiving portion between an open position and a closed position to increase or decrease an opening between the housing and the clip to anchor the device to a muscle, a bone, and/or a first tissue, the clip comprising:
• an anchoring portion that extends above a top of the housing;
• a mast portion within the receiving portion of the housing, wherein the mast portion of the clip is connected to the receiving portion of the housing via a ratchet mechanism;
• and
• an anchoring structure extending from the anchoring portion, the anchoring structure being configured to attach to the muscle, the bone, and/or the first tissue;
• an electrode that is configured to contact an organ, a nerve, the first tissue, and/or a second tissue;
• and
• circuitry in the housing in electrical communication with the electrode that is configured to provide monitoring, therapeutic, and/or diagnostic capabilities with respect to the organ, the nerve, the first tissue, and/or the second tissue.

• an anchoring portion that extends above a top of the housing;
• a mast portion connected to the housing, wherein the anchoring portion is connected to the mast portion and a vertical position of the anchoring portion with respect to the top of the housing is configured to move when the mast portion is moved vertically with respect to the top of the housing in order to increase or decrease an opening between the anchoring portion and the top of the housing;
• and
• an anchoring structure extending from the anchoring portion, the anchoring structure being configured to attach to the muscle, the bone, and/or the first tissue;
