Abstract
An applicator assembly for applying at least a portion of an analyte monitor includes a frame having a longitudinal axis and an opening, a resilient member having at least a first portion fixed relative to the frame and a second portion movable axially relative to the frame, a needle, and a cap engageable with the frame to cover at least part of the opening. The cap is adjustable to increase a bias on the resilient member and to move the second portion of the resilient member away from the opening. When the cap is separated from the frame, the second portion of the resilient member is configured to be held relative to the frame. The hold on the second portion of the resilient member is releasable, such that the bias on the resilient member advances the second portion of the resilient member and the needle towards the opening.
