1. A system comprising:

  • a housing including a plurality of devices, each device comprising;

    (i) a skin-piercing member configured to access physiological fluid beneath a skin surface;

    (ii) a biosensor configured to measure a characteristic of the accessed physiological fluid, the skin-piercing member being integrated with the biosensor via a physiological fluid transfer pathway; and

    the housing having a ramped surface and an advancing member configured to move each device so that the skin-piercing member cooperates with the ramped surface to deflect the skin-piercing member and penetrate the skin surface at an oblique angle relative to the skin surface.
