Abstract:
An introducer is provided for introducing a sensor into the body of a patient. The introducer connects to a sensor hub. When the sensor hub and introducer are connected, the introducer needle is exposed. When the sensor hub and introducer are disconnected, a needle cover and the needle move with respect to each other so that the needle cover substantially covers the needle, protecting a user from being injured by the needle.

Claim (Index 8):
The method of  claim 1 , wherein the needle holder has a top portion that defines two indentations therein, wherein the housing includes a second mating component, wherein said second mating component includes a second lock, and wherein, when the housing is connected to the sensor hub, each said lock extends into, and engages with, a respective one of said indentations, thereby locking the needle holder in the needle extended position.
