1. Apparatus for assaying an analyte of blood in a patient'"'"'s blood vessel comprising:
- a mounting module adapted so that it can be adhered to the skin of the patient overlying a tissue region comprising the blood vessel;
a sensor unit mounted to the module that generates signals responsive to characteristics of the tissue region; and
a controller that receives the signals and uses received signals to assay the analyte and to determine a degree to which the sensor unit is aligned with the blood vessel.

19. Apparatus for assaying an analyte of blood in a patient'"'"'s blood vessel comprising:
-
a mounting module adapted so that it can be adhered to the skin of the patient overlying a tissue region comprising the blood vessel;
a sensor unit mounted to the module that generates signals responsive to characteristics of the tissue region wherein at least a portion of the sensor unit presses against the skin to provide optical and/or acoustic coupling of the sensor to the skin;
a controller that receives the signals and uses received signals to assay the analyte and to determine if the sensor portion exerts excessive pressure on the blood vessel. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21)
