Abstract
In some embodiments, a sensor assembly for a continuous glucose monitoring system is provided that includes (1) a sensor carrier having a sensor unit receiving area and an electronics receiving area, the electronics receiving area including a substrate; (2) a sensor unit having a sterilized region, the sterilized region including at least a portion of a sensor and an introducer; and (3) electronics for the continuous glucose monitoring system. The sensor unit is positioned within the sensor unit receiving area of the sensor carrier and the electronics are positioned on the substrate within the electronics receiving area of the sensor carrier so as to form a sensor assembly having the sensor electrically connected to the substrate of the electronics receiving area while maintaining sterilization of the sterilized region of the sensor unit. Numerous other aspects are provided.
