Abstract
An apparatus for inserting a continuous analyte monitoring transmitter that includes an outer member, an inner member configured to telescope relative to the outer member, a transmitter, a bias member, an insertion device, and a pivot member. Force is applied to press the outer member toward an insertion site over the duration of a stroke. During a first portion of the stroke, the pivot member cannot pivot and the motion of the outer member translates to the insertion device until the biosensor is inserted at the insertion site. Over a second portion of the stroke, the continued motion causes a first pivot window in the outer member to overlap with a second pivot window in the inner member, allowing the pivot member to pivot and retract the insertion device from the insertion site, leaving the implanted biosensor. Upon completion of the stroke, the position of the pivot member is locked into place by engaging a locking feature of the bias member with the second pivot window to prevent the insertion member from re-entering the insertion site.
