An apparatus for insertion of a medical device in the skin of a subject is provided.
1. A method of operating an inserter comprising a base, a spring, an introducer mechanism, and a shuttle that is coupled with the introducer mechanism, the shuttle having a surface in contact with the spring, the method comprising: positioning an end of the base of the inserter on a skin surface of
1. A method of operating an inserter comprising a base, a spring, an introducer mechanism, and a shuttle that is coupled with the introducer mechanism, the shuttle having a surface in contact with the spring, the method comprising: positioning an end of the base of the inserter on a skin surface of a subject, the inserter containing an analyte monitoring assembly including a power source and electronics coupled to an analyte sensor and operable to communicate analyte data;moving the shuttle, the shuttle surface in contact with the spring, the analyte monitoring assembly, and the introducer mechanism from a first position within the inserter to a second position where at least a portion of the analyte sensor of the analyte monitoring assembly is brought into contact with fluid in the subject; andautomatically retracting the shuttle and the introducer mechanism away from the skin surface and into the inserter with a force applied by the spring against the shuttle surface, while the end of the base is maintained on the skin surface. 2. The method of claim 1, further comprising, prior to positioning the end of the base, disengaging an end cap from a bottom end of the base to expose an interior space of the base. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein automatically retracting the shuttle and the introducer mechanism comprises automatically retracting the shuttle and the introducer mechanism upon the introducer mechanism reaching a predetermined position. 4. The method of claim 3, further comprising disengaging the introducer mechanism from a retention member upon reaching the predetermined position. 5. The method of claim 1, further comprising preventing the displacement of the analyte monitoring assembly within the inserter between the first position and the second position when an end cap is engaged with a bottom end of the housing. 6. The method of claim 1, wherein the analyte sensor is a glucose sensor. 7. The method of claim 1, further comprising maintaining the power source of the analyte monitoring assembly in an inactive state when the analyte monitoring assembly is positioned at or near one of the first position or the second position. 8. The method of claim 1, further comprising engaging the analyte monitoring assembly with at least a portion of the introducer mechanism within the inserter during movement from the first position to the second position. 9. The assembly of claim 1, wherein the electronics include an analyte sensor electronic circuit that is activated when the analyte monitoring assembly is at or near the second position. 10. The method of claim 1, further comprising positioning a portion of the analyte monitoring assembly on the skin surface at the second position. 11. The method of claim 10, further comprising activating the analyte monitoring assembly when the portion of the analyte monitoring assembly is positioned on the skin surface. 12. The method of claim 1, further comprising positioning at least a portion of the analyte sensor in contact with an analyte in interstitial fluid under the skin surface at the second position. 13. The method of claim 1, further comprising providing the analyte sensor to the analyte monitoring assembly such that the analyte sensor retains a bent characteristic at the first position and the second position. 14. The method of claim 1, further comprising providing one or more data associated with a monitored level of an analyte to a remote location. 15. The method of claim 14, wherein providing the one or more data comprises using one or more of radio frequency (RF) communication, infrared communication, short-wavelength digital radio communication, low-power digital radio communication, 802.1x communication, or WiFi communication. 16. The method of claim 15, wherein the remote location includes one or more of a remotely located computing device, a mobile telephone device, a personal digital assistant, or a communication enabled data processing device. 17. The method of claim 1, further comprising positioning the introducer mechanism through the electronics of the analyte monitoring assembly prior to positioning the end of the base on the skin surface. 18. The method of claim 17, wherein the introducer mechanism is positioned through a longitudinal aperture in the electronics of the analyte monitoring assembly prior to positioning the end of the base on the skin surface. 19. The method of claim 1, wherein the inserter further comprises a carriage, wherein the carriage, while releasably holding the analyte monitoring assembly, is moved with the shuttle, the shuttle surface in contact with the spring, the analyte monitoring assembly, and the introducer mechanism from the first position within the inserter to the second position. 20. The method of claim 19, wherein the shuttle and the introducer mechanism are automatically retracted away from the skin surface and the carriage while the carriage releasably holds the analyte monitoring assembly. 21. The method of claim 20, further comprising, after automatically retracting the shuttle and the introducer mechanism, removing the inserter from contact with the skin surface while leaving the analyte monitoring assembly adhered to the skin surface. 22. The method of claim 21, wherein the inserter comprises a handle that is movable with respect to the base, and wherein moving the shuttle, the shuttle surface in contact with the spring, the analyte monitoring assembly, and the introducer mechanism from the first position to the second position is accomplished by a user applying manual force to the handle. 23. The method of claim 22, wherein the carriage is part of an inner rail that contacts a handle surface.
