Medical Devices for Home Use in Bangladesh

Simple devices at home help you keep track of your health between doctor visits. This category lists home-use monitors and aids.

Common devices

• Blood pressure monitors with upper-arm cuffs.
• Pulse oximeters for oxygen and pulse readings.
• Nebulizers for breathing treatments prescribed by a doctor.
• Glucose monitors and strips for diabetes care.

Important

Medical devices support, but do not replace, professional care. Always follow your doctor’s instructions, check expiry dates on strips and consumables, and keep a record of readings to share at appointments.

Using them correctly

• Rest for five minutes before measuring blood pressure.
• Place the cuff at heart level and keep still.
• Clean the nebulizer parts after each use as the manual says.
• Keep a diary of readings with the date and time.
