First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for maintaining a control unit of an analyte monitoring system on a body part of a subject using an on-body securement element comprising an adhesive surface and a non-adhesive backing that is opposite to the adhesive surface, the on-body securement element being protected by a first removable layer adjacent the adhesive surface and a second removable layer adjacent the non adhesive backing, the method comprising:
- removably attaching the analyte monitoring system control unit to a body part of a patient;
positioning the on-body securement element about the control unit so that the adhesive surface contacts the control unit; and
removing the first and second removable layers from the on-body securement element;
wherein attaching comprises mating the control unit to a mounting unit adhesively attached to the body part.

6. A method for maintaining a control unit of an analyte monitoring system on a body part of a subject using an on-body securement element comprising an adhesive surface and a non-adhesive backing that is opposite to the adhesive surface wherein the adhesive surface is protected by more than one release liner, the method comprising:
-
removably attaching the analyte monitoring system control unit to a body part of a patient by way of a mounting unit attached to the body part; removing at least one release liner from the adhesive surface prior to positioning the on-body securement element about the control unit and leaving at least one release liner attached to the adhesive surface until after the positioning of the on-body securement element about the control unit to expose only a portion of the adhesive surface and provide rigidity of the securement element; positioning the on-body securement element about the control unit so that the exposed portion of the adhesive surface attaches to the body part, the mounting unit, the control unit or a combination thereof; and removing at least one more release liner from the adhesive surface after the positioning. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 30, 31)
