The HGN is a blood pressure unit intended for measuring blood pressure on the wrist. The
measurement is carried out by a microprocessor, which, via a pressure sensor, measures the vibrations
resulting from the inflation and deflation of the cuff over the artery.
MEDISANA has had many years of experience in the field of blood pressure measurement. The high
precision of MEDISANA devices has been confirmed by extensive clinical tests, carried out according
to strict international standards. One strong argument in favour of taking blood pressure at home
is the fact that the readings are taken in familiar surroundings under relaxed conditions. The most
important reading is the socalled „baseline value“, the one taken before breakfast, directly after
getting up in the morning. As far as it is possible, you should always try to take your blood pressure
at the same time and under the same conditions each day.
This ensures comparable results and helps in detecting the first signs of high blood pressure. If high
blood pressure remains undetected, it increases the risk of further cardiovascular diseases.
THEREFORE WE RECOMMEND:
Take a blood pressure reading daily and on a regular basis,
even if you are experiencing no apparent complaints.
