PENGIKLANAN DAN PENJUALAN PERANTI PERUBATAN YANG DIDAKWA SEBAGAI KIT UJIAN KENDIRI COVID-19 (COVID-19 SELF TEST KIT) (ADVERTISING AND SALE OF MEDICAL DEVICES CLAIMED AS COVID-19 SELF TEST KIT )

Pihak Berkuasa Peranti Perubatan (MDA) telah menerima pelbagai aduan dan mendapati ada pihak-pihak yang menjalankan aktiviti pengiklanan dan penjualan kit ujian yang didakwa sebagai kit ujian kendiri COVID-19 dalam media sosial dan laman sesawang. MDA ingin memaklumkan bahawa setakat ini pihak kami hanya memberi kebenaran akses khas bagi kit ujian COVID-19 untuk kegunaan profesional sahaja dan pihak kami masih belum memberi apa-apa kebenaran untuk pengedaran kit ujian kendiri COVID-19.

Sehubungan itu, MDA ingin menegaskan penjualan kit ujian kendiri ini dan paparan iklan yang terdapat di media sosial dan laman sesawang adalah mengelirukan dan boleh menggalakkan pembelian di kalangan orang awam yang boleh meningkatkan risiko penularan dan penyebaran virus COVID-19 dalam masyarakat. Pihak-pihak yang terlibat dalam pengiklanan dan penjualan seperti ini digesa untuk menghentikan perbuatan yang tidak bertanggungjawab ini.

(The Medical Devices Authority (MDA) has received various complaints and found that there are parties who carry out activities of advertising and selling test kits alleged to be COVID-19 self-test kits on social media and websites. MDA would like to inform that we have only given special access permission for the COVID-19 test kit for professional use only and we have not yet given any permission for the distribution of the COVID-19 self-test kit.

Accordingly, MDA would like to emphasize that the sale of these self-test kits and the display of advertisements available on social media and websites is misleading and may encourage purchase among the general public which may increase the risk of transmission and spread of COVID-19 virus in the community. Parties involved in such advertising and sales are urged to stop this irresponsible act.)
