Abstract
An assembly and method for delivery of an analyte sensor including a reusable applicator having a proximal portion and a distal portion are disclosed. The reusable applicator can include a housing, a sensor carrier configured to releasably receive the first analyte sensor, a sharp carrier configured to releasably receive a sharp module, and an actuator movable relative to the housing. The actuator can include three positions: a first position with the sensor carrier and the sharp carrier are at the proximal portion of the reusable applicator, a second position with the sensor carrier and the sharp carrier are at the distal portion of the reusable applicator for delivery of the first analyte sensor, and a third position with the sensor carrier at the distal portion of the reusable applicator and the sharp carrier at the proximal portion of the reusable applicator after delivery of the first analyte sensor from the reusable applicator, wherein the first position, the second position, and the third position are different, and wherein the actuator is configured to be returned from the third position to the first position for delivery of another analyte sensor.
