Kutheni le nto ukubekwa kweliso kweoksijini kweApple kungavunyelwanga yi-FDA?

Intsingiselo enkulu yeApple Watch Series 6 yinto enokwenzeka yokulinganisa ioksijini yegazi lakho, nangona kunjalo iApple iqinisekisa kwiwebhusayithi yayo ukuba esi sixhobo asiqinisekiswanga yi-FDA, ngoba?

Xa iApple yazisa iApple Watch Series 4 kunye neyona nto ibaluleke kakhulu kuyo, i-electrocardiogram (ECG), uqhayisa ngokufumana imvume kwi-FDA (e-Food and Drug Administration) yase-United States, umzimba olawula zonke izixhobo zonyango kunye neziyobisi elizweni, oko kuthetha ukuba isixhobo sinokuthenjwa. Nangona kunjalo, kwi-oximeter ye-pulse, inzwa emisela ukugcwala kweoksijini egazini lethu, khange kube njalo. Kutheni le nto iApple ingakhange ifune imvume ye-FDA kule meko? Ngaba oku kuthetha ukuba i-oximeter yokubetha ayithembekanga?

Inkcazo ilula: ukufumana imvume ye-FDA kunyanzelekile ukuba ubonise iimvavanyo zeklinikhi ezineziphumo ezixhasa ukuba isixhobo sakho siyangqinelana nebango lakho. U-Apple ubanga ukuba i-Apple Watch Series 4 (kunye no-Series 5 no-6 kamva) banokufumanisa ukuba i-Atrial Fibrillation isebenzisa i-ECG, kwaye oko bekufanele kukungqina ngezifundo eziyixhasayo. Nangona kunjalo U-Apple khange athethe nto malunga ne-oximeter ye-pulse ye-Apple Watch Series 6, akukho sifo sinokusiqonda, kwaye nantsi iqhinga "kutheni ungafunanga mvume ye-FDA ukuyifumana kwi-smartwatch yakho.

Kodwa oku akuthethi ukuba le sensor yeoksijini ayisebenzi kakuhle, kude nayo. Inyaniso UApple usebenza ngokubambisana neeyunivesithi ezahlukeneyo kunye namaziko onyango Ukubonisa ukuba iApple Watch Series 6 esweni ioksijini inokubona ukungaqheleki okanye ikuncede ekuchongeni izifo kumanqanaba okuqala, anjengeFlu okanye i-COVID-19. Ukuba ezi zifundo zigqiba kwelokuba i-Apple igcina iyinyani, i-oximeter ye-pulse kwi-Apple Watch inokufumana ukuvunywa kwe-FDA kamva.
