Would Health Canada's pest-management, medical-device or another programme assess the proposed use?

The company publishes no position under any Canadian programme.

The position is set out in two documents. Under United States law, the Statement of Classification, issued by NF Technical Products Inc., classifies the NanoFlashing™ Air Filter as a device under Section 2(h) of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act, 7 U.S.C. § 136(h), and 40 C.F.R. § 152.500(a), and a device is not required to be registered under FIFRA section 3. The requirements that apply instead are labelling; establishment registration and reporting; books and records; inspection of establishments; violations, enforcement and penalties; import and export; child-resistant packaging; and the Agency's authority under FIFRA section 25(c)(4). Under Regulation (EU) No 528/2012, the Statement of Regulatory Status, issued by C-POLAR Technologies, Inc., classifies the filter as neither a biocidal product nor a treated article. Neither document addresses the law of any other country. No authority has approved, registered or endorsed the filter; the company classifies its own article. Enquiries from a Canadian importer go to [email protected].

What record shows whether a Canadian classification assessment considered released substances as well as the intended surface action?

The company publishes no Canadian classification record.

Both the Statement of Classification for the NanoFlashing™ Air Filter and the Statement of Regulatory Status for the NanoFlashing™ Air Filter state: “In use, the ventilation system's own fan moves air through the filter. The filter is passive. It draws no power, and it has no power supply, electrode, lamp or reservoir. It generates no ozone and emits nothing into the air passing through it. The air leaving the filter has had nothing added to it.” They also state: “A charge is a physical property. It is not a substance or a mixture of substances.” On the intended action they state that the filter is intended to destroy the viruses, bacteria and fungal spores it captures, and that it destroys them on direct contact with the positive electric charge, by physical means, and only while the organism is captured by the positive electric charge. The company sets out its position under United States law and under Regulation (EU) No 528/2012, and under no other country's law.

Does a Canadian importer need its own establishment-level permissions for the intended product category?

The company publishes no Canadian importer position; the records and filings required of a device producer in the United States are set out in the federal regulations.

They are a label on every device under 40 C.F.R. part 156; books and records of devices produced, received, shipped and in stock under 40 C.F.R. § 169.2; establishment registration under 40 C.F.R. §§ 167.3 and 167.20(c); initial and annual production reports under 40 C.F.R. § 167.85; and a Notice of Arrival of Pesticides and Devices, EPA Form 3540-1, under 19 C.F.R. § 12.112(a). Under 40 C.F.R. § 152.500(b) a device is not required to be registered under FIFRA section 3, and the requirements that apply instead are labelling; establishment registration and reporting; books and records; inspection of establishments; violations, enforcement and penalties; import and export; child-resistant packaging; and the Agency's authority under FIFRA section 25(c)(4).

Would a medical claim change the Canadian class or licence route for the complete device?

The filter's label states that it is not a medical device and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent disease, and the company publishes no position under Canadian law.

The label for the NanoFlashing™ Air Filter states: “This filter treats the air that passes through it. It is not a medical device and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent disease. It works alongside ventilation and cleaning, not in place of them.” The Terms of Use state: “Do not use Site Content to diagnose, treat, or make a patient-care or infection-control decision.” They also state: “A laboratory reduction in a virus, bacterium, fungus, particle, or other endpoint does not establish a clinical benefit, fewer infections, disease prevention or treatment, or improved health.” The Terms further state that the Medical devices chapter describes a Research Application, and that it does not describe a finished product currently available from C-POLAR for that use. Section 2 of the Food and Drugs Act defines a device as “an instrument, apparatus, contrivance or other similar article, or an in vitro reagent, including a component, part or accessory of any of them, that is manufactured, sold or represented for use in (a) diagnosing, treating, mitigating or preventing a disease, disorder or abnormal physical state, or any of their symptoms, in human beings or animals”, among other uses. The company sets out its own position under United States law and under Regulation (EU) No 528/2012, and under no other.

Does a Canadian electrical approval cover the assembled purifier rather than only a component?

An electrical approval covers the assembly it names; this site publishes none, and the filter itself draws no power.

Passive describes the filter, not the system around it. The filter is passive. It draws no power, and it has no power supply, electrode, lamp or reservoir. An air cleaner built around the filter is an appliance.
