1. An apparatus, comprising:
- a transmitter mount for detachably mating with a transmitter;
an adhesive pad for attaching to a skin surface, the transmitter mount positioned on the adhesive pad to cover a portion of the adhesive pad, the transmitter mount positioned on the skin surface when the adhesive pad is attached to the skin surface;
a pull tab portion integral to the adhesive pad, the pull tab portion configured to deform the adhesive pad to detach a portion thereof from the skin surface; and
a raised border portion provided around at least a periphery of the adhesive pad, the raised border portion including at least one gap along an outer periphery of the adhesive pad, the raised border portion providing stability to the adhesive pad when a release liner is removed from a lower surface of the adhesive pad prior to attaching the adhesive pad to the skin surface;
wherein the adhesive pad deforms in a first direction when a predetermined force is applied to the pull tab portion in a second direction such that a periphery portion of the adhesive pad which does not have the transmitter mount positioned thereon is detached from the skin surface before the portion of the adhesive pad covered by the transmitter mount positioned thereon.
