    Abstract: Various examples are directed to systems and methods of and using analyte sensors. An example analyte sensor system comprises an analyte sensor and a hardware device in communication with the analyte sensor. The hardware device may be configured to perform operations comprising applying a first bias voltage to the analyte sensor, the first bias voltage less than an operational bias voltage of the analyte sensor, measuring a first current at the analyte sensor when the first bias voltage is applied, and applying a second bias voltage to the analyte sensor. The operations may further comprise measuring a second current at the analyte sensor when the second bias voltage is applied, detecting a plateau bias voltage using the first current and the second current, determining that the plateau bias voltage is less than a plateau bias voltage threshold, and executing a responsive action at the analyte sensor.

    Abstract: A transcutaneous sensor device configured for continuously measuring analyte concentrations in a host is provided. In some embodiments, the transcutaneous sensor device 100 comprises an in vivo portion 160 configured for insertion under the skin 180 of the host and an ex vivo portion 170 configured to remain above the surface of the skin 180 of the host after sensor insertion of the in vivo portion. The in vivo portion may comprise a tissue piercing element 110 configured for piercing the skin 180 of the host and a sensor body 120 comprising a material or support member 130 that provides sufficient column strength to allow the sensor body to be pushable in a host tissue without substantial buckling. The ex vivo portion 170 may be configured to comprise (or operably connect to) a sensor electronics unit and may comprise a mounting unit 150. Also described here are various configurations of the sensor body and the tissue piercing element that may be used to protect the membrane of the sensor body.
