The old man watched the advertisement
Turn your heart into action
Last September, Mr. Sun, a native of Shanghai, was browsing his phone when he saw an advertisement saying that the garbage in his blood was gone through "laser treatment."
When you hear this kind of advertisement, you feel that ...
Even acute myocardial infarction, cerebral infarction, and coronary heart disease can be treated
So, Uncle Sun added the product to the enterprise WeChat customer service to buy. The other party told him that if he insisted on using it for a long time, blood lipids, blood pressure, blood sugar, blood viscosity and other values could be significantly improved.
This made Uncle Sun, who already had a slight "three highs", very tempted, and turned his heart into action, spending more than 4,000 yuan to buy this "laser treatment instrument".
The other party also promised Uncle Sun that there would be no effect on using this machine after 90 days, and a full refund could be given!
After using the product for three months, Uncle Sun went to check it again, and the results showed that the indicators did not fall but rose!
Want to return an item? Not easy!
When Uncle Sun proposed a refund according to the original sales promise, he repeatedly hit a wall, and the other party always shirked it for various reasons, and this delay was half a year.
According to the information on the product packaging, the reporter found that the manufacturer of this equipment is Wuhan Nine-headed Bird Medical Instrument Development Co., Ltd., and the product packaging indicates the product registration number of the word "E-machinery". The reporter then searched the medical device database on the official website of the State Food and Drug Administration and found that the product was a "Class II medical device", and the relevant scope of application and intended use column were marked as "adjuvant treatment" for multiple diseases.
However, the official customer service staff of the product emphasized on the phone that the instrument has a "therapeutic" effect.
Just how "magical" this device is, listen to what medical experts have to say.

At most, it can only be used as a home rehabilitation auxiliary medical device, from the perspective of clinical medical analysis, it can at most be used as an auxiliary treatment method, and it can never replace the formal lipid-lowering, antihypertensive, and hypoglycemic standard treatment in our hospital.
Lawyer: Suspected of false publicity
Obviously, the assertions and guarantees of efficacy involved in the sales promotion of this product have clearly violated the relevant provisions of the Advertising Law and are suspected of false advertising.

Lawyer Yang Zouhua told Knews that according to Article 16 of the Advertising Law of the People's Republic of China, when it comes to drugs and medical devices, it is not possible to have a clear assertion about the efficacy and treatment rate.
In the above situation, consumers can call the local market supervision department to protect their rights, or they can file a lawsuit in the court of the place of receipt.
Medical Experts: Don't Be Fooled!
Don't be misled by exaggerated propaganda!
Take a look at the newsKnews reporter searched on the online platform and found a number of different brands of "laser therapy instrument" products, and the interface was marked with "National Class II Medical Device Certification".
In this regard, Wang Qijin, director of the endocrinology department of Shanghai International Medical Center, said in an interview with a Knews reporter that they are most worried about patients being treated with the so-called "laser therapy instrument" product to replace the original medication treatment. Some people may say that they have done this treatment and stopped the antihypertensive drugs and hypoglycemic drugs, which will bring greater consequences and great harm. Ordinary people must keep their eyes open and not be blinded by the advertisements of these so-called medical devices. If there is any uncertainty, you must consult the nearest doctor in a regular hospital to make a reasonable choice, and do not be misled by this kind of exaggerated propaganda.
