Apple May Launch New Grade II Medical Device

The ECG function of the Apple Watch saves a life in Euriopa

MyHealthyApple has discovered a list in which Apple is expected to launch a new class II medical device. It is not really clear that it is a standalone release or could be a feature for the Apple Watch or other existing devices. Class II means devices that present a moderate to high risk to the user.

In a recent job listing, the American company states that it is looking for a project manager who is responsible for regulatory support for product introductions, their approvals and preparation for a possible launch. That's how at least MyHealthApple picked it up in an entry on your digital blog.  This project manager will work in the hardware division of the company. That suggests that there may be a future Class II medical product or health feature for the Apple Watch.

Class II medical devices are those that, as we said before, present a moderate to high risk for the user. For example, him electrocardiogram (ECG) of the Apple Watch and irregular heart rate functions are listed in that area. Although it is not to worry or be alarmed, since Almost half of the medical devices and functions are cataloged by that name. 

Could we be a new function of the Apple Watch ?. It is very feasible because of course the Apple watch is much more than a device to tell the time or receive messages. I remember the very rumored glucose sensor. In fact, it was already given as something real and it may be that with this job announcement the existence of that new sensor is being confirmed. As always when we talk about rumors, we will have to wait and we will stay tuned to what happens to be able to tell you.
