Health Canada medical device recalls

Health Canada publishes medical device recalls with a recall class, affected products and the recalling company. MedTech Signal holds that history in one searchable place, linked to each Health Canada notice.

Recall classes

Type I recalls involve a reasonable probability of serious adverse health consequences; Type II a remote probability; Type III are unlikely to cause harm. The class is shown on every record.

Canada ↔ US comparison

Each Canadian recall is compared with FDA recalls for the same company and device, so you can see where a US action has, or has no apparent, Canadian counterpart.
