Abstract
A sensor assembly is disclosed. The sensor assembly includes a piercing member with an interior and exterior. Also included within the sensor assembly is a sensor that is formed on a flexible substrate. The sensor includes a proximal end and a distal end where the distal end includes a flex that is terminated at a terminal end. The terminal end of the sensor being located within the interior of the piercing member.
Claims15
A sensor assembly, comprising:
- a piercing member having an interior and exterior, and
- a sensor being formed on a flexible substrate having a proximal end and a distal end separated by a sensor straight, the distal end including a flex being terminated at a terminal end, the terminal end being within the interior of the piercing member, the sensor straight being adjacent to the exterior of the piercing member.
A method of inserting a sensor into subdermal space, the method comprising the operations of:
- coupling a sensor to a piercing member, the sensor having a distal end, the distal end including a flex that terminates in a terminal end, the flex enabling placement of the terminal end of the sensor within a piercing bevel of the piercing member;
- inserting the piercing member to a depth within the subdermal space, the sensor coupled to the piercing member being inserted to substantially the same depth as the piercing member;
- retracting the piercing member, the retraction of the piercing member decoupling the terminal end from within piercing bevel of the piercing member.
