Monitor device of a medical system and associated method for operating a monitor device

A monitor device of a medical system including a base plate having a first adhesive layer comprising one or more water soluble or water swellable hydrocolloids for attachment of the base plate to a skin surface of a user and an electrode assembly comprising a plurality of electrodes arranged between the first adhesive layer and a top layer, the plurality of electrodes including a first electrode pair, the monitor device comprising:

• a processor;
• a memory;
• and
• a first interface configured for coupling to the electrode assembly of the base plate, the first interface comprising a plurality of terminals including a first terminal pair configured for forming electrical connections with the first electrode pair of the electrode assembly;
• wherein the processor is configured to:
• obtain one or more parameters including obtaining a first parameter of the first terminal pair connected to the first electrode pair of the electrode assembly, the first parameter of the first terminal pair being a first capacitor value indicative of a capacitance between the first terminal pair;
• determine if one or more operability criteria are satisfied based on the one or more parameters including determining if the first parameter satisfies first operability criteria indicative of operability of the first electrode pair of the electrode assembly;
• and
• select a data collection scheme, the configuration to select the data collection scheme including selecting a first data collection scheme if the first operability criteria are not being satisfied and selecting a second data collection scheme if the first operability criteria are being satisfied.
