1. A sensor system for measuring an analyte concentration, the sensor system comprising:
- a base having a distal side configured to face towards a skin of a host;
a first adhesive coupled to the base and configured to couple the base to the skin;
a transmitter coupled to the base and configured to transmit analyte measurement data;
a transcutaneous analyte measurement sensor coupled to the base; and
a collapsible support member configured to resist non-axial forces of the sensor, the collapsible support member comprises a channel, and a portion of the sensor passes through the channel, wherein the channel is configured to resist a buckling force of the sensor as the sensor moves from a proximal position to a distal position wherein the channel has at least one wall havinga proximal section having a first material, an intermediate section having a second material, and a distal section having a third material, andwherein at least one of the first material, the second material, or the third material is foam.

Abstract
Sensor systems can be used to measure an analyte concentration. Sensor systems can include a base having a distal side configured to face towards a person'"'"'s skin. An adhesive can couple the base to the skin. A transcutaneous analyte measurement sensor can be coupled to the base and can be located at least partially in the host. A transmitter can be coupled to the base and can transmit analyte measurement data to a remote device.

10. A sensor system for measuring an analyte concentration, the sensor system comprising:
-
a base having a distal side configured to couple with a skin of a host; a proximal portion coupled to the base and having a transmitter configured to transmit analyte measurement data; a transcutaneous analyte measurement sensor coupled to the base; bellows coupling the proximal portion to the base, wherein at least a portion of the sensor is located in an interior area of the bellows within a channel, the channel configured to resist a buckling force of the sensor as the sensor moves from a proximal position to a distal position; and a removable interference member located between a lower surface of the proximal portion and an upper surface of the base to block movement of the sensor from a proximal position to a distal position. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13)
