PEDESTAL FOR SENSOR ASSEMBLY PACKAGING AND SENSOR INTRODUCER REMOVAL

摘要

A pedestal for a physiological characteristic sensor assembly and aphysiological characteristic sensor assembly isprovided The pedestal includes a first side opposite a second side Thepedestal includes a sidewall that interconnects the first side andthe second side The pedestal also includes a first end opposite a second endThe pedestal includes at least one post that extends from thefirst side adjacent to the first end to couple the pedestal to a physiologicalcharacteristic sensor of the physiological characteristic sensorassembly The pedestal also includes a recess defined in the sidewall at thesecond end The recess has a first portion in communicationwith a second portion. The first portion has a first length that is less thana second length of the second portion along a perimeter of thesidewall, and the second portion is positionable to apply a force to thephysiological characteristic sensor
