subconjunto sensor de analito e métodos e aparelhos para inserir um sensor de analito associado com o mesmo

Embodiments herein provide an analyte sensor subassembly that provides an integrated structure enabling suitably secure electrical contact between an analyte sensor and the electronic components of an analyte sensor assembly. An analyte sensor subassembly assists the process of inserting the sensor into skin. An analyte sensor subassembly may operate in concert with one or more sensor insertion tools to provide insertion of an analyte sensor into the skin of a subject/patient. Associated devices, such as channel guides and sensor insertion tools, are also provided, as are methods of operation and sensor insertion.
