Update from MOH
Please be informed as of today, MDA has not received any applications with regards to ECG features and Heart Health Function in the Apple Watch Series 4 & Series 5 from the parties concerned. On the other hand, you may make a suggestion to the said company to proceed for a Product Classification application to get official feedback from MDA. Only products that are classified as medical devices need to proceed to register with MDA.

MDA’s determination of whether to classify this product as a medical device or not a medical device is based on the information on product description/intended use of product submitted for Product Classification Application to MDA and the application of the following statutory definition for ”medical device” as set forth in Section 2 of the Medical Device Act 2012 (Act 737).


Reading the reply it seems that MOH approval not required if Apple do not intend the product to be a medical device

If that's the case, it means Apple MY don't want to activate the feature for us.

Send to Apple a feedback with the MDA reply.don’t expect them to reply though haha since the feedback site says they can’t reply to every single feedback haha

You should send it since you have the reply from MOH. Can just CC Apple MY the email from MOH.

Don’t have apple Malaysia email haha

Maybe give this a call for an email?

Basically means Apple Malaysia is not doing anything about it.

Anyone face issue with raise to wake / heart sensor not working after the new update?

Nope working fine, watchos 7.1, series 5

Send to the CEO, Tim Cook

tcook@apple.com

He will sometimes reply to users

Just wondering, anyone here tried the Solo loop?

How comfortable is it?

So weird, it's been re-approved. But for what?

Was on the fence between getting a Watch SE or Watch Series 5, in the end decided to get the Watch Series 5 from maxis, RM62 per month x 24 for the 44mm Cellular and GPS version.

Watch OS update with ECG support for Thailand. Still no Malaysia

Probably hasn't received clearance from KKM regarding the accuracy of the readings.

Even these countries in SEA got it already


WatchOS 7.3
- ECG app on Apple Watch Series 4 or later in Japan, Mayotte, Philippines, and Thailand
- Irregular heart rhythm notifications in Japan, Mayotte, Philippines, Taiwan, and Thailand

you know that will take forever or maybe never

just get the activation done by third party pretty simple 30 min process much faster that waiting for kkm

My apple watch series 5 went flying while i was trying to remove the bands. Screen cracked =(. In the process of claiming Switch Protection Plan now. Gonna protect it fully once its back. Any recommendations on non bulky cases that keeps the look of the watch as original as possible? Preferably also have screen protection or any combo recommendation is also fine

KKM said Apple never applied for it to be a medical device.I think I have shared KKM reply before this

It is made for comparison with current or baseline level readings that you can use to compare, not as new standard.
