Medisana NM 868 Neck and Shoulder Massager with Heat

The Medisana NM 868 neck and shoulder massager provides a convenient way to enjoy a comfortable vibration massage at home after a long and demanding day.

Spending extended periods in front of a computer, looking down at a mobile phone, sitting for many hours, or driving regularly may leave the neck and shoulder area feeling tired and uncomfortable. The NM 868 is designed to offer an easy-to-use relaxation experience without complicated settings or the need for a separate remote control.

Simply place the device around your neck, allow it to rest over your shoulders, and select the vibration intensity that feels most comfortable. Its ergonomic wraparound design and long hand straps help keep the massager in position while giving you direct control over the amount of pressure applied.

The NM 868 is especially suitable for users who prefer a gentle or moderate vibration massage rather than the stronger kneading action provided by rotating Shiatsu massage nodes.

Comfortable Vibration Massage with Two Intensity Levels

The Medisana NM 868 uses vibration massage technology designed specifically for the neck and shoulder area.

It provides two selectable vibration intensity levels, allowing you to adjust the experience according to your personal preference. You can begin with the gentler setting and move to the stronger level when you want a more noticeable vibration sensation.

The integrated control system allows you to activate the massage and change the intensity without removing the device from your shoulders.

Is the Medisana NM 868 a Shiatsu Massager?

No. The Medisana NM 868 is a vibration massager and not a Shiatsu massager.

It does not contain rotating massage heads, kneading balls, or moving massage nodes. Instead, it uses vibration to create a lighter and more relaxing massage sensation.

This makes it a practical choice for users who do not enjoy strong kneading pressure or who prefer a simple massage experience for everyday relaxation.

Those looking specifically for deep kneading or rotating massage nodes may prefer a dedicated Shiatsu neck massager.

Optional Heat Function for Added Comfort

The NM 868 includes an optional heat function that adds gentle warmth to the massage experience.

The warming function can be activated using the HEAT button located on the integrated control panel. It can be used alongside the vibration massage when the device is connected to its electrical power adapter.

The combination of vibration and warmth creates a more comfortable and relaxing experience, particularly after a long working day or during a quiet session at home.

The heat feature should be described as a comfort function rather than infrared therapy or red-light treatment. The device is designed for personal relaxation and is not intended to provide medical treatment.

Adjustable Massage Pressure Using the Hand Straps

Two long hand straps are positioned on both sides of the Medisana NM 868.

These straps serve two important purposes. They help keep the massager correctly positioned around the neck, and they allow you to control the pressure manually.

Place your hands inside the straps and pull them gently downward. This brings the massager closer to the neck and shoulders, increasing the sensation of vibration and pressure.

Reducing the pull creates a lighter and more relaxed massage experience.

This simple manual adjustment gives you greater control without relying on complicated electronic pressure settings. The pressure should always be increased gradually, and the device should be stopped if the massage becomes uncomfortable.

Flexible Operation with Electricity or Batteries

One of the most practical features of the Medisana NM 868 is its flexible power system.

The massager can be operated using the included electrical adapter or four AA batteries, allowing it to be used in different locations.

Operation with the Electrical Adapter

The included power adapter provides a stable electrical supply for regular use at home.

Electrical operation is the preferred option when you want to use the massage and heat functions together. It also avoids the need to replace batteries during regular massage sessions.

Connect the adapter to the device and a suitable electrical outlet before placing the massager around your neck.

Operation with Four AA Batteries

The NM 868 can also operate using:

Four 1.5 V AA batteries.

Battery operation provides greater freedom of movement and allows you to use the device away from an electrical outlet.

This can be useful:

• In different rooms around the home.
• At the office during a break.
• While travelling.
• In locations where a power outlet is not easily accessible.

Please note that AA batteries are not included in the package and must be purchased separately.

The Medisana NM 868 does not contain a built-in rechargeable battery and is not a rechargeable massager. The AA batteries must be replaced when their power is depleted.

Integrated and Easy-to-Use Control Panel

The operating buttons are built directly into the side of the massager, making them easy to reach while the device is positioned around your neck.

The integrated control panel includes:

MASSAGE Button

The MASSAGE button is used to:

• Start the vibration massage.
• Switch between the two intensity levels.
• Turn the massage function off.

HEAT Button

The HEAT button allows you to activate or deactivate the warming function while using the electrical adapter.

Because the controls are integrated into the device, there is no separate remote control to store, carry, or lose. The massager also does not require a mobile application or wireless connection.

This straightforward operation makes it suitable for users who prefer simple and direct controls.

Automatic Shut-Off After Approximately 15 Minutes

The Medisana NM 868 includes an automatic shut-off function.

The device stops automatically after approximately 15 minutes of continuous operation. This provides a clearly defined massage session and prevents the massager from remaining active for an unnecessarily long period.

You can also switch the device off manually before the session ends.

After using the heat function, allow the massager to cool before beginning another session. Always follow the operating and safety instructions included with the product.

Ergonomic Design for the Neck and Shoulders

The NM 868 has a wraparound design created specifically for the neck and shoulder area.

It rests around the back and sides of the neck while extending over the shoulders. The long side straps help keep the device stable and allow users of different sizes to adjust how closely it sits against the body.

Unlike large massage chairs or full-back massage cushions, the NM 868 focuses on one of the areas most commonly affected by everyday sitting and posture-related fatigue.

Its simple design also makes it easier to carry and store than many larger massage devices.

Removable and Washable Neck Cover

The section that comes into direct contact with the neck includes a removable fabric cover.

The cover can be detached for cleaning and washed on a gentle cycle at a maximum temperature of 30°C. It should be left to dry completely before being reattached to the device.

A washable contact cover is particularly useful when the massager is used regularly or shared between members of the same household.

Cleaning the Main Device

The main body of the massager must not be washed or immersed in water.

To clean it:

1. Disconnect the device from the power supply.
2. Remove the batteries if they are installed.
3. Wipe the main body using a soft cloth that is only slightly damp.
4. Allow the device to dry completely before using or storing it.

Do not:

• Immerse the massager in water.
• Place the main device in a washing machine.
• Use bleach or aggressive cleaning products.
• Use abrasive brushes or cleaning materials.
• Iron or dry-clean the removable cover.
• Operate the device while it is wet.

The NM 868 may be a practical choice for people who:

• Spend long hours working at a computer.
• Sit for extended periods during the day.
• Regularly use smartphones or tablets.
• Drive for long periods.

• Need a device that can operate without a nearby electrical outlet.

Who May Prefer a Different Massage Device?

The Medisana NM 868 may not be the right choice for users looking for:

• Rotating Shiatsu massage nodes.
• Deep kneading massage.
• Strong tissue pressure.
• Percussion massage.
• A rechargeable internal battery.
• A cordless USB-charging system.
• Full-back or full-body massage.
• A device designed to massage the legs or feet.

Understanding the difference between vibration massage and Shiatsu massage is important before purchasing.

The NM 868 provides vibration rather than mechanical kneading, making it more suitable for gentle everyday relaxation.

How to Use the Medisana NM 868

Follow these general steps when using the device:

1. Inspect the massager, cable, and adapter before use.
2. Connect the electrical adapter or insert four AA batteries correctly.
3. Place the massager around your neck.
4. Allow the main section to rest comfortably over your shoulders.
5. Place your hands inside the two side straps.
6. Press the MASSAGE button to activate the vibration function.
7. Press the button again to change the vibration intensity.
8. Activate the HEAT function when using the electrical adapter, if desired.
9. Pull the straps downward gradually to adjust the pressure.
10. Maintain a relaxed and comfortable sitting position.
11. Stop using the massager if you feel pain or unusual discomfort.
12. Switch it off manually or allow it to stop automatically after approximately 15 minutes.

Do not pull the straps with excessive force. A comfortable and controlled level of pressure is preferable to strong or uncomfortable pressure.
