Abstract
A continuous analyte meter may include an electrochemical sensor invasively inserted into the skin, a transmitter including a main substrate to which a battery is connected and a housing in which the main substrate is accommodated, the housing being attached to the skin and the main substrate controlling a signal measured by the electrochemical sensor, a needle inserting the electrochemical sensor into the skin, and an inserter provided with an actuator that moves the transmitter and the needle from a first position to a second position so that the needle penetrates the skin or retracts the needle from the second position to a third position.

A continuous analyte meter comprising:
- an electrochemical sensor invasively inserted into the skin;
- a transmitter including a main substrate to which a battery is connected and a housing in which the main substrate is accommodated, the housing being attached to the skin and the main substrate controlling a signal measured by the electrochemical sensor;
- a needle inserting the electrochemical sensor into the skin;
- and
- an inserter provided with an actuator that moves the transmitter and the needle from a first position to a second position so that the needle penetrates the skin or retracts the needle from the second position to a third position,
- wherein a switch turning on/off power supply of the battery to the main substrate or the electrochemical sensor is provided in the transmitter, and
- a switch activator interworking with the actuator and turning on the switch to start power supply of the battery is provided.
