(canceled)
A sensor applicator assembly comprising:
- a sensor applicator, comprising:
- a housing defining an interior;
- a sharp carrier coupled with a sharp;
- and
- a sensor carrier configured to retain a sensor control device;
- the sensor control device, comprising:
- an electronics housing;
- sensor electronics disposed within the electronics housing;
- an analyte sensor coupled with the sensor electronics;
- an adhesive patch disposed on a bottom surface of the electronics housing, wherein the adhesive patch is configured to secure the sensor control device on a user's skin;
- and
- an adhesive liner coupled with a bottom surface of the adhesive patch;
- a sensor cap removably coupled with the sensor control device,
- wherein a portion of the analyte sensor is configured to be received within a portion of the sharp,
- wherein the sensor cap is configured to receive the portion of the sharp and the portion of the analyte sensor,
- wherein the sensor applicator is configured to advance the sensor control device from a first position within the interior of the sensor applicator to a second position on the user's skin, and
- wherein the adhesive liner is operatively coupled with the sensor cap such that removal of the sensor cap causes removal of the adhesive liner.
