Face masks that contain graphene may pose health risks.
April 2, 2021 - Health Canada is advising Canadians not to use face masks that contain graphene because there is a potential that they could inhale graphene particles, which may pose health risks.
Graphene is a novel nanomaterial (materials made of tiny particles) reported to have antiviral and antibacterial properties. Health Canada conducted a preliminary scientific assessment after being made aware that masks containing graphene have been sold with COVID-19 claims and used by adults and children in schools and daycares. Health Canada believes they may also have been distributed for use in health care settings.

Newest Weapon in the Fight Against COVID 19 - Bi-Polar Ionization System Tests Positive for Killing Coronavirus

The scientific study was conducted by Hylabs and followed the stringent guidelines developed by the Israeli Ministry of Health. The tests concluded that the Sterionizer D6 and D5 units were capable of inactivating hCoV-OC43; an acceptable model for SARS-CoV-2 which causes COVID-19. Medcare Medical Devices Canada is a Canadian importer and authorized distributor of the Sterionizer family of ionizer systems. They have the products registered under their MDEL license with Health Canada.

Medcare Medical Devices Canada has received the official word that their bi-polar ionization systems have recently been certified as capable of reducing Coronavirus particles in the air by greater than 99%.

While no cytotoxic effect to MRC5 cells was observed, the viral log reduction of the Coronavirus particles was an average of 2.13 or greater than 99%. As per ISO 18184:2019 standards, this reduction in viral load is classified as “significant” and as such these ionization units are deemed a highly effective means of controlling the spread of this highly infectious disease.

News from Ontario: The province is making it easier to administer rapid COVID-19 testing in the workplace.

The province has also removed regulatory barriers governing the use of COVID-19 tests that are approved by Health Canada for point-of-care use to make it easier for organizations to offer onsite testing and support a safe return to work. This change will especially benefit rural and remote communities including Northern Indigenous communities where health professionals required to administer testing are limited.

New Weapon In The Fight Against Osteoporosis.
Osentia Osteoporosis Test Kit only requires a pen and a nail clipping.

Toronto, ON (Canada) - December 27, 2020 – Medcare Medical Devices Canada has signed an agreement with Crescent Ops Ltd. (UK) for the exclusive distribution of the Osentia Osteoporosis Test Kit, in Canada.

Osentia is a patented, Health Canada approved, professional laboratory test that uses Raman Spectroscopy screening technology to assess a patient’s risk of fragility fractures due to Osteoporosis. The new test requires only a single clipping of a fingernail or toenail. This is put in a small plastic bag, supplied in the kit, and sent to a lab along with a health assessment form. This includes questions on personal health, such as diet, lifestyle, age and exercise.

Tests are then carried out on the nail sample to assess the structure of the protein keratin in the nail. This is a key indicator of whether a person is at risk of fragility fractures, weak bones and potential osteoporosis. A risk profile report is returned via email or post within seven working days.

Everyone has some risk of developing osteoporosis, which is often undiagnosed until the time they fracture a bone. The major public health and clinical impact of osteoporosis lies in the fractures caused by the disease. About 28% of women and 37% of men die within 1 year of suffering a hip fracture. It has been estimated that 50% of women who sustain a hip fracture become functionally dependent in their daily activities, and 19% require long-term nursing home care. It is therefore important to identify the risk of osteoporosis early enough to take steps to help prevent and minimize the development of the condition and to reduce the risk of fracture.

The national launch of the Osentia Osteoporosis Test Kit is scheduled for Q1, 2021.
