1. A continuous analyte monitoring inserter apparatus for subcutaneous placement of a sensor into a patient, the apparatus comprising:

  • an inserter assembly comprising;

    a housing body having a first body end and a second body end;

    a deployment button partially disposed and slidable within the housing body through the first body end, the deployment button being movable between a first position and a second position;

    a deployment mechanism slidably disposed within the deployment button and movable between a ready position, an insertion position and a retracted position, the deployment mechanism having a needle; and

    a sensor deployment assembly disposed within the inserter body and removably mated with the deployment mechanism, the sensor deployment assembly having a sensor partially disposed within the needle of the deployment mechanism; and

    a sensor housing partially disposed within and removably retained in the second body end,wherein the inserter assembly is adapted to substantially simultaneously implant the sensor subcutaneously into the patient, retract the needle, fix the sensor deployment assembly within the sensor housing and release the inserter assembly from the sensor housing with a single activation of the deployment button caused by moving the deployment button from the first position to the second position.
