Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
The present embodiments relate generally to apparatuses, systems, and methods for deploying a medical device to skin of a host. The apparatuses, systems, and methods may be directed to removing a liner for a medical device so that the medical device may couple to the skin of the host. The medical device may comprise an on-skin wearable medical device.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1 . A system comprising: an on-skin wearable medical device configured to be deployed to skin and including a patch having a first surface for engaging the skin; a liner positioned on the first surface; an applicator housing configured to retain the on-skin wearable medical device; and a liner removal component configured to engage the liner and at least partially decouple the liner from the first surface upon the liner removal component being at least partially withdrawn from the first surface, the liner removal component including a first portion for engaging the liner and a second portion that is spaced from the first portion. 2 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the first portion is configured to rotate relative to the second portion. 3 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the second portion is configured to be separated from the applicator housing. 4 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the second portion is configured to be unscrewed from the applicator housing to at least partially decouple the liner removal component from the applicator housing. 5 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the liner removal component includes one or more guides configured to prevent rotation of the first portion relative to the applicator housing upon the second portion rotating relative to the first portion. 6 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the liner removal component includes one or more bearing surfaces configured to couple the first portion to the second portion. 7 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the liner removal component includes one or more bearing surfaces configured to allow for rotation of the first portion relative to the second portion. 8 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the liner removal component includes one or more rotation couplers spaced from one or more bearing surfaces with a gap, and the one or more rotation couplers are configured to rotate relative to the one or more bearing surfaces. 9 . The system of claim 8 , wherein a rotation of the first portion relative to the second portion brings the one or more rotation couplers into contact with the one or more bearing surfaces. 10 . The system of claim 9 , wherein a first one of the rotation couplers is configured to contact the one or more bearing surfaces prior to a second one of the rotation couplers. 11 . The system of claim 8 , wherein the one or more rotation couplers include one or more arms. 12 . The system of claim 11 , wherein at least a portion of the liner removal component is configured to be assembled with the one or more arms deflected by the second portion. 13 . The system of claim 1 , further comprising a grip portion positioned at the second portion and configured to be gripped by a user to at least partially withdraw the liner removal component from the first surface of the on-skin wearable medical device. 14 . The system of claim 1 , further comprising an engagement portion positioned at the second portion and configured to engage a portion of the applicator housing to retain the liner removal component to the applicator housing. 15 . The system of claim 14 , wherein the engagement portion is configured to be rotated relative to the applicator housing to release the liner removal component from the applicator housing. 16 . The system of claim 1 , wherein a height of the first portion relative to the second portion is configured to be adjustable. 17 . The system of claim 16 , wherein the liner removal component includes a cam surface configured to adjust the height of the first portion relative to the second portion. 18 . The system of claim 16 , wherein the liner removal component includes one or more deflectable arms coupling the first portion to the second portion. 19 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the liner removal component includes a sheath for covering a needle. 20 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the liner removal component includes a spring configured to press against the on-skin wearable medical device, the spring configured to move the liner removal component away from the on-skin wearable medical device to at least partially decouple the liner from the first surface. 21 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the liner removal component is configured to peel the liner from the first surface upon the liner removal component being at least partially withdrawn from the first surface. 22 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the liner removal component comprises a cap. 23 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the liner removal component includes a sheath for sealing at least a portion of a needle or at least a portion of a transcutaneous analyte sensor. 24 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the liner removal component includes an engagement portion configured to engage an outer surface of the applicator housing for retention of the liner removal component to the applicator housing, the engagement portion configured to disengage from the outer surface upon the liner removal component being axially pulled relative to the applicator housing.
