A delivery system for deploying an implantable sensor assembly at an implantation site in a patient, the sensor assembly including a sensor element and an anchor. The delivery system includes an outer catheter, an elongate, tubular first inner member movable within the outer catheter, and a retaining element disposed within the first inner member and adapted to releasably engage the sensor assembly during delivery. In one embodiment, the first inner member has a distal end portion including a sheath sized to receive the sensor assembly and retain the anchor in a collapsed delivery configuration. In another embodiment, the first inner member includes a distal end portion including a socket sized to releasably retain a portion of the sensor during delivery. |
