最近渥太华研发的一种快速病毒检测技术遇到挫折.

周五， 研发公司召回了新冠病毒检测产品，准备进行更多的研究。


研发公司说，联邦卫生部对该公司提供的测试产品的专用拭子的功效表示关切，但是对产品的准确性和分析性能并无担忧。


该产品在4月13号获得联邦卫生部的批准。


联邦卫生部表示，现阶段该产品的使用仅限于研究目的，尚需临床表现的充分证据。
为了更有效地防止COVID-19疫情扩散，普遍认为，需要进行更大范围的病毒测试，这对于了解加拿大的COVID-19感染的真实范围以及如何最好地部署抑制策略至关重要。


Rapid test for COVID-19 recalled after Health Canada expresses concerns


OTTAWA -- A rapid test developed for COVID-19 has experienced a setback.


Ottawa's Spartan Bioscience says it is voluntarily recalling its COVID-19 product and performing additional studies after Health Canada expressed some concerns Friday.


Spartan says Health Canada was concerned about the "efficacy of the proprietary swab" for the testing product. The company says Health Canada had no concerns about the accuracy and analytical performance of the product.



Health Canada says the product is restricted to research use only until adequate evidence of clinical performance can be provided.


The federal government announced it had approved the hand-held DNA analyzer on April 13.


The need for greater testing is widely acknowledged as key to understanding the true scope of COVID-19 infection in Canada, and how best to deploy suppression strategies.
