1. A method, comprising:
- positioning a portion of an analyte sensor at a first predetermined location at a first predetermined speed, the analyte sensor positioned in fluid contact with a bodily fluid under a skin surface;
displacing the analyte sensor at a second predetermined speed slower than the first predetermined speed from the first predetermined location to a second predetermined location;
retrieving, using one or more processors, a factory determined calibration value stored in a memory storage component, the factory determined calibration value being not modified during a lifetime of the analyte sensor;
detecting one or more signals associated with an analyte level in the bodily fluid under the skin surface; and
generating, using the one or more processors, clinically accurate calibrated analyte sensor data by processing the detected one or more signals with the factory determined calibration value, wherein the detected one or more signals are processed substantially immediately after the positioning the analyte sensor in fluid contact with the bodily fluid, and further, wherein the clinically accurate calibrated analyte sensor data correlates to the analyte level in blood.

10. An apparatus, comprising:
-
an analyte sensor having a portion for positioning at a first predetermined location at a first predetermined speed and in fluid contact with bodily fluid under a skin surface, the analyte sensor configured to generate one or more signals corresponding to a monitored analyte level, the analyte sensor further configured to have a portion displaced from the first predetermined position to a second predetermined position at a second predetermined speed slower than the first predetermined speed; and sensor electronics physically coupled to the analyte sensor to receive the generated one or more signals from the analyte sensor, the sensor electronics including a memory storage component and one or more processors operatively coupled to the memory storage component, the one or more processors of the sensor electronics configured to retrieve a factory determined calibration value stored in the memory storage component, to generate clinically accurate calibrated analyte sensor data by processing the generated one or more signals with the factory determined calibration value, wherein the generated one or more signals are processed substantially immediately after the positioning the analyte sensor in fluid contact with the bodily fluid, and further, wherein the clinically accurate calibrated analyte sensor data correlates to the analyte level in blood. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
