A sensor assembly for detecting at least one analyte in a body fluid includes an electrochemical sensor, a body mount that attaches to a body of a user and an inserter that transfers the sensor to the body mount. A first adhesive is attached to one or both of the body mount or the sensor, and the first adhesive attaches the sensor to the body mount. A second adhesive is attached to one or both of the sensor or the inserter and releasably attaches the sensor to the inserter. The assembly has an initial position in which the sensor is attached to the inserter via the second adhesive and a final position in which the sensor is attached to the body mount via the first adhesive. Transferring the sensor from the initial position to the final position releases the sensor from the inserter.

Sensor assembly for detecting at least one analyte in a body fluid

A sensor assembly () for detecting at least one analyte in a body fluid and a method of assembly a sensor assembly () for detecting at least one analyte in a body fluid are disclosed. The sensor assembly () comprises:

Disclosed is an inventive method for an aseptic assembly of a multi-component medical device. In this method a first component of the medical device is provided in a first container and a second component of the medical device is provided in a second container. Each of the first and second separated containers have a rupturable portion. The first component in the first container is sterilized using a first sterilization technique and the second component in the second container is sterilized using a second sterilization technique. The first and second containers are joined while arranging the rupturable portions in an overlapping configuration which is aseptically sealed against the surroundings. Finally, one of the components is transferred through the rupturable portions and the components are aseptically assembled to form the medical device as a sterile package.
