Health Canada Issues New Guide on Device Recalls; No Substantive Changes

Health Canada has issued a new and comprehensive guide on regulations governing device recalls that replaces a five-year-old document but makes no substantive changes.

The revised guide has improved the graphic display of information it contains and provides links to definitions, laws and regulations. It also adds several appendices with information on: recall stages; roles and responsibilities; checklist for distribution records and recalls; and writing guidelines.  — Cynthia Jessup
