Abstract: A physiological characteristic sensor assembly includes a flexible top housing including a needle port having a central opening, and a flexible lower housing defining a sensor bore through the lower housing, the sensor bore coaxial with the central opening of the needle port. The physiological characteristic sensor assembly also includes an electrical subsystem disposed between the top housing and the lower housing. The electrical subsystem includes a flexible printed circuit board having a sensor contact pad, a physiological characteristic sensor and an electrically conductive adhesive patch. The physiological characteristic sensor has a distal end that extends through the needle port and a proximal end that includes at least one electrical contact. The conductive adhesive patch electrically and physically couples the at least one electrical contact of the physiological characteristic sensor to the sensor contact pad of the flexible printed circuit board.

Abstract: A sensor introducer for a physiological characteristic sensor assembly includes a sensor introducer body that includes an outer housing that defines an opening to receive the physiological characteristic sensor assembly and an inner housing surrounded by the outer housing. The sensor introducer includes a cradle movable relative to the inner housing from a first position to a second position to deploy the physiological characteristic sensor assembly. The cradle has a cradle flange to receive the physiological characteristic sensor assembly and a cradle body that receives a needle assembly. The cradle body includes at least one locking projection that engages the inner housing to inhibit the movement of the cradle relative to the inner housing in the first position and the at least one locking projection is movable relative to the inner housing to enable the cradle to move from the first position to the second position.
