Abstract
A sensor apparatus for a continuous glucose monitoring system has a sensor housing that includes a first end having a sealing surface configured to seal against an introducer having an insertion shaft, a second end having a sealing surface configured to seal against an insertion shaft cover, and an insertion shaft opening having a width that allows the insertion shaft to travel there through and that extends between the first and second ends. The sensor housing may further include a sensor wire channel that extends between the insertion shaft opening and a sensor wire contact location in an outer surface of the sensor housing. The sensor wire channel and sensor wire contact location may be configured to receive a sensor that extends between the insertion shaft opening and the sensor wire contact location to allow the sensor to make electrical contact to system circuitry. Numerous other aspects are provided.
