Abstract: A computer implemented method for conserving power during BLUETOOTH® communication performed by a BLUETOOTH® enabled peripheral computing device, the method comprising advertising availability of the BLUETOOTH® enabled peripheral computing device for pairing, receiving a scan request from a BLUETOOTH® enabled central computing device. transmitting a scan response to the BLUETOOTH® enabled central computing device in response to the scan request, establishing a connection with the BLUETOOTH® enabled central computing device, monitoring a power consumption indicator of the peripheral computing device, introducing a delay period to a response period to a connection event received from the central computing device if the monitored power consumption indicator meets at least one predefined criteria, and wherein the delayed response period causes the response to occur after a predetermined peripheral latency period but prior to a supervision timeout.

Abstract: A medical device for detecting an analyte in a body fluid has a base body for reversibly attaching the medical device to a patient's body and has an insertable analyte sensor with first and second electrodes. An electronics unit is connected to the sensor. The first and second electrodes each have a first free end and a second end, the second ends being electrically connected to respective electric conductors connecting the respective electrodes to the electronics unit. The first electrode extending from the second end and the second electrode extending from the second end are at least partially in electric contact with the body tissue of a patient during use of the medical device. The electrical resistance of the first electric conductor and the electrical resistance of the second electric conductor is higher than the electrical resistance of the first electrode and the electrical resistance of the second electrode.

Abstract: Analyte sensor for use in medical devices for measuring analyte data such as glucose data, including: a power source providing electrical power to the analyte sensor, an enclosure of the analyte sensor, a sensor circuit powered by the power source and including two electrodes, wherein the electrodes each have a first portion that lies inside the enclosure and a second portion that lies outside of the enclosure. At least one protection unit is electrically coupled to the first portion of each of the two electrodes located inside the enclosure, wherein the at least one protection unit is configured to short-circuit the two electrodes in case a voltage signal from the sensor circuit applied to the electrodes exceeds a predetermined voltage threshold. A method for operating an analyte sensor is also disclosed.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a method and a system for a wireless data communication between a sensor system and a receiver capable of receiving analyte values sensed by the sensor system in a continuous analyte monitoring. The method includes establishing an unconnected mode operation for the system. The receiver receives a first data package broadcasted by the sensor system that has first status data indicative of a device status and/or an analyte value status. The first status data is processed by a receiver controller. A connected mode operation is established for the system responsive to determining at least one of a critical device status and a critical analyte value status. The establishing includes establishing a communication channel between the sensor system and the receiver and receiving a second data package transmitted by the sensor system in the receiver, the second data package comprising one or more analyte values.

Abstract: The disclosure refers to a method of operating a receiver for receiving analyte data from a biosensor monitoring an analyte by detecting analyte values, the method comprising: in a receiver (1), receiving analyte values detected by a biosensor (8) monitoring an analyte in intervals of time for which a first interval time is applied; receiving a present analyte value in the receiver (1); providing a rate of change for the analyte values; determining a future analyte value based on the present analyte value, the first interval time, and the rate of change; providing an analyte value range for the analyte values; setting a second interval time, the second interval time being shorter than the first interval time, if the future analyte value is outside the analyte value range, and longer than or equal to the first interval time, if the future analyte value is within the analyte value range; and in the receiver (1), receiving one or more following analyte values in intervals of time for which the second interval ti
