The present invention relates generally to systems and methods for measuring an analyte in a host. More particularly, the present invention relates to systems and methods for transcutaneous measurement of glucose in a host.
What is claimed is: 1. An insertion kit, comprising: a sensor and an introducer needle, wherein the sensor and the introducer needle are configured and arranged with a shape, such that the sensor is retained within a lumen of the introducer needle by a friction fit of multiple contact points separa
What is claimed is: 1. An insertion kit, comprising: a sensor and an introducer needle, wherein the sensor and the introducer needle are configured and arranged with a shape, such that the sensor is retained within a lumen of the introducer needle by a friction fit of multiple contact points separated by non-contact points between the sensor and the lumen of the introducer needle, such that longitudinal motion of the sensor with respect to the introducer needle is minimized prior to sensor insertion; and an applicator configured to cause the needle to be inserted through a skin of a host, wherein the applicator is further configured to position at least a portion of the sensor in contact with a biological fluid of the host. 2. The insertion kit of claim 1, wherein the applicator is further configured to substantially completely withdraw the introducer needle from the host after the sensor is transcutaneously positioned in fluid contact with the biological fluid of the host. 3. The insertion kit of claim 1, wherein the applicator includes a spring biased mechanism. 4. The insertion kit of claim 1, wherein the shape is a bend or serpentine shape. 5. An analyte sensor system, comprising: an analyte sensor and an applicator comprising an introducer needle, wherein the applicator is configured to position at least a portion of the sensor in contact with a biological fluid of a host by insertion of, and subsequent withdrawal of, the introducer needle through the skin of the host, wherein the analyte sensor is configured and arranged to be held by a friction fit of the surface of the sensor with an inner lumen of the introducer needle in order to maintain the sensor longitudinally within the introducer needle prior to withdrawal of the introducer needle from the host and minimize motion of the sensor during withdrawal of the introducer needle from the host. 6. The sensor of claim 5, wherein the sensor has a slight bend or serpentine shape when the sensor is held within the introducer needle. 7. A method, comprising the steps of: longitudinally maintaining an analyte sensor in a first configuration of the sensor within an introducer needle during insertion of the introducer needle into a host, wherein the first configuration uses a frictional force caused by a shape of the sensor against a surface of the introducer needle to maintain the sensor within the introducer needle; and withdrawing the introducer needle from the host, wherein the step of withdrawing comprises releasing the sensor from the first configuration to a second configuration of the sensor that is different from the first configuration after release of the sensor from the introducer needle. 8. The method of claim 7, wherein the step of withdrawing comprises positioning the sensor to be in fluid contact with a biological fluid of a host.
