A device and method for delivering a device such as a sensor or fluid transport structure or a fluid transport structure sensor combination into, for example, mammalian skin. Such a device allows a sensor to penetrate mammalian skin without the use of an introducer device such as a needle. A device in accordance with embodiments of the present invention includes a housing for attachment to mammalian skin including an exit port for receiving the distal end of a biosensor and an injection activation device including a mechanism for forcing the sensing device from a first position within the housing, through the exit port to a second position, with sufficiently high velocity to partially penetrate the mammalian skin.

La présente invention concerne un dispositif et un procédé pour libérer un dispositif tel qu~un capteur ou une structure de transport de fluide ou une combinaison des deux dans, par exemple, une peau de mammifère. Un tel dispositif permet qu~un capteur pénètre dans la peau d~un mammifère sans utiliser de dispositif d~introduction tel qu~une aiguille. Un dispositif conformément à des modes de réalisation de la présente invention comprend un boîtier à fixer à la peau d~un mammifère comprenant un orifice de sortie destiné à recevoir l~extrémité distale d~un biocapteur et un dispositif d~activation d~injection comprenant un mécanisme destiné à appuyer sur le dispositif de détection depuis une première position dans le logement, à travers l~orifice de sortie vers une seconde position, suffisamment rapidement pour pénétrer partiellement dans la peau du mammifère.
