A medical diagnosis set in the Aldi Süd range causes displeasure among medical staff.

The devices stir up fear among laypeople and the telephone no longer stands still among paramedics.

Mühlheim an der Ruhr - “The ambulance service in Germany goes to the balcony and claps for you!” Writes the

Facebook

user

Der

Paritäter

under his post.

He directed this to the discounter Aldi Süd.

With the medical diagnosis set for 12.99 euros, which among other things contains a blood pressure monitor, the supermarket chain is not exactly causing enthusiasm among medical professionals.

Aldi Süd: "Every time the discounters have these products in their range, the number of emergency calls increases!"

The cheap devices delivered, according to the comments under the post, inaccurate and deviating numbers.

“Let the biceps twitch a little and you get nice values ​​like 249/145.

Otherwise probably just as useful as these cheap finger clips from Pulsoxy ”or“ Every time I measure, my blood pressure is higher ”write two users about their experiences with measuring blood pressure.

The problem with this: the colorful data and results would unsettle people.

They quickly picked up the phone and called paramedics or the family doctor in panic.

One user emphasizes: "Every time the discounters have these products in their range, the number of emergency calls increases!"

Discounter diagnosis set from Aldi is not recommended

"Thank you for taking care of the elderly, hypochondriac and 'I think I'm sick' people in your range," the

paramedic

addressed Aldi ironically.

The discounter does not comment on this post.

While users complain about the poor quality of the cheap medical discounter products, more expensive similar devices, such as a blood pressure monitor from the pharmacy, do not seem to be the best.

In order to find the right product for you, it is advisable to talk to your doctor about it and ask for tips.
