  • a housing (110, 120) having a mounting surface (121) adapted for application to the skin of a subject, a transcutaneous device with a distal pointed end portion (151, 451, 461) adapted to penetrate the skin of the subject, the transcutaneous device having a first position in which the distal end portion is retracted within the housing, and a second position in which the distal end portion projects relative to the mounting surface, actuatable driving means (137, 454, 464) disposed within the housing and adapted to move the transcutaneous device from the first position to the second position when the driving means is actuated, wherein the driving means is actuatable from a first state through an intermediate state to a second state, whereby actuation of the driving means from the first to the intermediate state causes activation of the driving means, and actuation of the driving means from the intermediate to the second state causes release of the activated driving means thereby moving the transcutaneous device from the first position to the second position.
