Abstract
A sensor inserter for a physiological characteristic sensor includes a housing that defines a track system that extends from a bottom of the housing toward a top of the housing. The sensor inserter includes a striker assembly movable relative to the housing between a first state, a second, cocked state and a third, disposal state. The striker assembly is movable from the second, cocked state to the third, disposal state to couple the physiological characteristic sensor to an anatomy. The striker assembly includes a lock beam that engages with the track system as the striker assembly moves between the first state, the second, cocked state and the third, disposal state. In the third, disposal state the lock beam inhibits movement of the striker assembly from the third, disposal state to the first state.
