LOW BLOOD SUGAR ALARM - FOR THE DETECTION OF SYMPTOMS OF HYPOGLYCAEMIA FOR PEOPLE
WITH DIABETES
The HSA-01 can detect the symptoms of Hypoglycaemia, low blood sugar in diabetic
people. The HSA-01 is a self contained device that incorporates two sensors located
on the rear of the product, styled like a wristwatch. The sensors, when in contact
with the skin of the wrist or ankle respond to perspiration and body temperature
(cold sweats), two common symptoms of low blood sugar. If a cold sweat is detected,
a built in vibrator operates along with a tone beeper alarm. The persistent vibration
from the alarm is sufficient to disturb most users from sleep enabling a blood test
and remedial action to be taken.
The HSA-01 is for use when sleeping, it is not designed or intended to be used as
a daytime alarm. When used in accordance with the instruction guide, the HSA-01 can
detect early symptoms of hypoglycaemia and reduce the likelihood of more serious
complications.
The monitor has a comfortable adjustable elastic strap that exerts sufficient pressure
to hold the sensors firmly against the skin. The product case is manufactured from
a durable ABS material that will provide years of service life. The only on-going
costs to maintain the product is periodic replacement of the lithium 3V battery,
probably twice a year.
Operation of the product is very strait forward and with confirmation beeps for button
operation, is also usable by sight impaired people. By keeping a record of night
time alarms, the data can be used to adjust insulin doses to prevent nocturnal hypo’s.
