Do you think the EU regulatory agencies haven't properly accounted for the claims made by the makers of this device?

It looks very promising and it is clinically approved.

Your theory craft seems to check out, but they could have proprietary technology that Huawei is yet to clone/rip-off, so it's not a well-known methodology. Funnily enough, they actually tested some of their algorithms in China based on their papers, so maybe it is just a matter of time.

That being said, if you have industry inside knowledge, that's a little different.

Exactly what regulation do you think applies to this device? Do you think it's an approved medical device?

I'm not trying to embarass you, I was just genuinely curious if you had any special knowledge.
