Abstract
An on-body insertion system is described. The on-body system includes a sensor in a first position being substantially parallel to an insertion surface. Activation of an actuator transitions the sensor to a second position. Wherein the transition imparts movement to the sensor that is substantially parallel to the insertion surface and the second position results in the sensing area being beneath the insertion surface.

An on-body insertion system, comprising:
- a sensor in a first position having a distal end being substantially parallel to an insertion surface, activation of an actuator transitions the sensor to a second position, wherein the transition imparts movement to the sensor that is substantially parallel to the insertion surface, the second position placing the distal end beneath the insertion surface.
A method of inserting a sensor assembly, comprising:
- activating an actuator to release the sensor assembly from a first position;
- traversing a proximal end of the sensor assembly from the first position to a second position, the traversing being substantially parallel to the insertion surface;
- wherein a distal end of the sensor assembly is inserted below the insertion surface when the proximal end of the sensor assembly is in the second position.
