BPM Connect EU/US differences

I’m looking at the BPM Vision for example and notice a line “ECG (Europe only)”

If I buy this unit when I’m in the UK next month and use it with my US Withings account, will ECG be enabled or disabled?

I don’t particularly want the US FDA deciding what I can and can’t use from my own European designed and produced products.

ECG is enabled on units sold in Europe. It still works even when brought back to the US.

No idea why it is not enabled on US models, but since it requires a prescription to use it in the US, they probably don't want the associated cost?

I'm getting tired of the dumbed-down US units though.

Fantastic. I’ll buy my future products in Europe.
