Claim 16:
17. A combined device comprising:
an analyte sensor comprising a sensor probe;
an infusion set hub comprising a cannula; and
a flexible base, wherein the analyte sensor and the infusion set hub are attached to the flexible base such that a movement of one of the analyte sensor and the infusion set hub while attached to the flexible base does not cause a movement of the other one of the analyte sensor and the infusion set hub while also attached to the flexible base;
wherein the analyte sensor and the infusion set hub are releasably connected to each other via a joint configured to isolate movement of the analyte sensor from movement of the infusion set hub, and vice versa, the joint comprising a ball-and-socket joint; and
wherein the combined device is modular in that either one of the analyte sensor and the infusion set hub can be individually replaced without having to replace the combined device, by decoupling the joint.
