    Abstract: The disclosure refers to a medical device (100) comprising • a measurement unit (110) adapted to measure a value of a physiological parameter, for example a blood glucose level, • an energy storage unit (190) connected with the measurement unit (110) providing energy supply for the measurement unit (110), · an NFC antenna (193), • an energy supply unit (195) connected to the NFC antenna (193) and to the energy storage unit (190), wherein the energy supply unit (195) controls the NFC antenna (193) such that in the presence of an electromagnetic field of a pre-defined frequency range energy is withdrawn from the electromagnetic field surrounding the NFC antenna (193) and stored in the energy storage unit (190), • a charge control unit (196, 196A), connected to the energy storage unit (190) and adapted to determine the electric charge contained in the energy storage unit (190), and a communication unit (160) connected with the charge control unit (195), wherein the communication unit (160) is adapted to output a pre-defined visible, audible and/or tactile signal if the electric charge contained in the energy storage unit (190) determined by the charge control unit (196, 196A) is equal to or below a pre-defined minimum charge value. The advantage of such medical device is that too low charge is avoided and thereby the risk of determination of false measurement values is reduced. The disclosure further refers to an operation method of a medical device (100).

    Abstract: On-body analyte sensors may be designed for extended wear to provide ongoing measurement of physiological analyte levels. However, on-body analyte sensors may be susceptible to damage or dislodgment during wear due to routine interactions that occur with one's surroundings. Guard rings may be adapted to protect on-body analyte sensors from such interactions. Guard rings may comprise an annular body comprising an inner perimeter face, an outer perimeter face, a top edge, and a bottom face adapted for contacting a tissue surface. The inner perimeter face is shaped to circumferentially surround a sensor housing of an on-body analyte sensor. At least a portion of the outer perimeter face defines a chamfered surface extending between the top face and the bottom face. Adhesive pads or strips may further be engaged with the guard rings and aid in securing the guard rings to a surface, such as skin.
