Abstract
Devices associated with on-body analyte sensor units are disclosed. These devices include any of packaging and/or loading systems, applicators and elements of the on-body sensor units themselves. Also, various approaches to connecting electrochemical analyte sensors to and/or within associated on-body analyte sensor units are disclosed. The connector approaches variously involve the use of unique sensor and ancillary element arrangements to facilitate assembly of separate electronics assemblies and sensor elements that are kept apart until the end user brings them together.

65. A method comprising:
-
applying a first force to an applicator assembly along a longitudinal axis to drive a guide sleeve of the applicator assembly into a container that releasably holds a sensor assembly, wherein the applicator assembly includes a housing in locked engagement with the guide sleeve; engaging a platform retaining the sensor assembly in the container with the guide sleeve to release the sensor assembly; and coupling an electronics assembly releasably held within the applicator assembly to the sensor assembly to form an on-body device. - View Dependent Claims (66, 67, 68, 69, 70, 71, 72, 73, 74, 75, 76, 77, 78, 79, 80, 81, 82, 83, 84)
