1. A method of subcutaneously injecting and anchoring a device to an internal structural body component of a patient, wherein the device includes an electronics-containing housing and a clip configured to anchor the device to the internal structural body component, the clip having a top portion spaced from the electronics-containing housing with an intermediate portion to define a sandwiching region between the top portion of the clip and the electronics-containing housing of the device, the method comprising:
causing an instrument pre-loaded with the device to be inserted through an incision in the patient and advanced to the internal structural body component to which the device is to be anchored; and
receiving a pushing force on the instrument that causes the clip of the device to be pushed onto the internal structural body component so that the structural body component is located in the sandwiching region between the top portion of the clip and the electronics-containing housing of the device, in physical contact with the top portion of the clip and the electronics-containing housing of the device;
wherein force is applied to the internal structural body component between the top portion of the clip and the electronics-containing housing of the device to anchor the device to the internal structural body component.
