Health Canada is restricting the use of a made-in-Canada, rapid COVID-19 test created by Spartan Bioscience after the National Microbiology Lab found problems with the test that made it unreliable.
"In light of the clinical results, Health Canada has placed conditions on the company's authorization to restrict the use of the product to research use only until adequate evidence of clinical performance can be provided," the federal agency said in an emailed statement sent to CBC, after the story was first reported by Le Journal de Montreal.
"The Spartan product can continue to be used for research purposes only."

According to Spartan, Health Canada's concerns stem from the efficacy of the swabs the testing unit uses — and not with the machine itself.
Issue with swabs
The company was first informed by Health Canada about the concerns on Friday.
"The same report indicated no concerns regarding the accuracy and analytical performance of Spartan's test reagents and portable DNA analyzer device," said a statement published on the company's website.
The company has already shipped out 5,500 tests nationally for validation of provincial and federal governments,
The company said it's voluntarily recalling the product to perform more clinical tests.
"Spartan will be working as quickly as possible to address the concerns and bring its test to market," the company said.
Last month, the federal government ordered 40,000 tests a month from Spartan, according to Dr. Theresa Tam, Canada's chief public health officer.

中国干的漂亮！
这一桩桩，一件件， 都是对加拿大这个不争气的浪荡子的鞭笞！ 督促其走上自力更生的道路。不要老是躺在中国身上靠着中国产品过日子。
中国制造要应付中国自己的需求， 还要应付国际上的诸多要求， 哪有多余的物资来供应给加拿大？
你加拿大自己不努力， 难道怪中国？ 中国给你的东西就这质量， 自己要不要吧。 爱要要，不要死去！
中国制造已经供应整个世界几十年了， 中国人哪怕浑身是铁， 又能打几根钉子？中国再怎么英雄， 也背不动了， 你们就不会自己下来走两步吗？
典型的资产阶级老爷！ 中国无产阶级不欠你们的。

我还真没想到这，但显然中国人鼻子海拔肯定比白人低至少一厘米，夹角就小，那斜边必然短，需要宽度就短。

The portable test was called a "game changer" by health officials because it reportedly could deliver on-location results in under 60 minutes. Further upgrades to the test made by the Ottawa-based company promised to reduce that time down to 30 minutes.

楼主说加拿大自己生产的测试剂不能用。啥问题？前几天那村里的公司还是明星。加拿大现用的是那里生产的？美国的好像又快又准，不知道美国买不买给小兄弟。
