That article says that the the FDA letters say that the features "are not intended to be used by people under the age of 22." It doesn't say they are turned off.
Edit: But, if the FDA told Apple it isn't cleared for use by people under 22, then Apple needs to abide by that.

This link does not mention an age. I may have missed it but you can read for yourself.
Are you going to believe someone who did not create the app or the people who created the app?
it says it in the EKG set up and it does not let me do it. it also states that directly in the FDA approval that no one under 22 is allowed to use that feature
