Abstract
A multi-layer sensor assembly for use as a subcutaneous analyte sensor in a continuous monitoring system. The sensor assembly comprises a distal end portion, a proximal end portion, and a middle portion between the distal end portion and the proximal end portion, and three layers. The distal end portion comprises a first working electrode, a counter electrode, a second working electrode, and a reference electrode. The proximal end portion has a plurality of electrically conductive contact pads. The electrodes communicate electrically with the contact pads through the middle portion.
