‘Don’t buy these medical devices’


PETALING JAYA: Long after the Covid-19 threat has been contained, unregistered medical devices such as facemasks, test kits, examination gloves and oximeters continue to be openly sold in the market.

Also found sold in the market – both at walk-in shops as well as online platforms – are digital infrared thermometers, plano (coloured contact lenses), condoms, first-aid kits and blood lancets.
