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 7):
The method of  claim 1 , wherein the needle holder has a top portion that defines an indentation therein, said indentation extending radially inwards from a periphery of said top portion, and wherein, when the housing is connected to the sensor hub, said lock extends into, and engages with, said indentation on the needle holder's top portion, thereby locking the needle holder in the needle extended position.
