INSERTER ASSEMBLY AND METHOD

Certain embodiments relate to an inserter assembly for inserting an analyte sensing device into subcutaneous tissue of a body. In certain embodiments, the inserter assembly generally includes an insertion device, a sensor carrier, a sensor assembly, and a sensor base. The insertion device includes a cover with a first end and an opposite second end. The sensor carrier is placed inside the cover, and includes an injection means. The sensor carrier is operable to be moved from a first position to a second position by activating a first energy storage unit, which is activated by a deployment device placed in the insertion device. The sensor assembly includes the analyte sensing device, and is adapted to be inserted and placed into the subcutaneous tissue when the sensor carrier is in the second position. The sensor base is placed at the second end of the cover, and includes an adhesive.
