Winter in northern countries is very tough as you can imagine. Russia is one of the countries where temperatures stay below freezing even during the day in the middle of winter.

We just received a warm letter from "Frozen" Russia and we wish to share it with you. It was written by a 79 year old lady living in St. Petersburg. She is a user of UA-704 and our product is helping her to keep her in a healthy condition.
We are very happy to receive her message, with the heart of a medical device manufacturer.


Dear Mr. President of A&D Company Ltd.

I am a citizen of Russia, Iraida Efimovna Akintseva. I live in Saint Petersburg.

On 25 of December, 2004 I bought a device for blood pressure and pulse rate measurement, model UA-704, manufactured by your Company. I would like to express my thanks to you for the work that you and your Company do for us ・people who need your devices.

I am 79 years old. I'm a handicapped person, suffering of musculoskeletal and heart diseases. Your device has become my indispensable assistant in diagnosing my condition.

I certainly was able to buy only the cheapest device, because I'm a pensioner, and my pension of $xxx is my only income. But I'm very happy with my acquisition, and I believe that many pensioners would support my point of view.

I sincerely wish your Company future prosperity and success in development of new technologies.

With best regards,
pensioner, I.E Akintseva

We were so pleased by this letter, that some of our representatives in Russia visited her the next day with some gifts, to thank her. At that time, she told us that the monitor had saved her life a few days before. She had seen the Irregular Heartbeat symbol on the display, and had called an ambulance. This prompt action meant that doctors could treat her in time.
