Abstract
An inserter apparatus (e.g., a continuous analyte monitoring inserter apparatus) includes an outer member; an inner member; a transmitter carrier configured to support a transmitter and biosensor assembly during insertion of a biosensor, the transmitter carrier including a bias member; and a pivot member configured to pivot at times relative to the transmitter carrier and support an insertion device during biosensor insertion. The outer member is configured to press the bias member against the pivot member during insertion of the biosensor. During a first stroke portion of the insertion apparatus, the pivot member is prevented from pivoting. In a second stroke portion, pivoting is allowed, and the bias member causes, pivoting of the pivot member and retraction of the insertion device. Other systems and methods embodiments are provided.
