I repeat, Toraymyxin deviced not approved in Canada
Published by Spectral Medical in November 2015:
"Toraymyxin was approved for therapeutic use in Japan in 1994 and Europe in 2002 and has been used safely and effectively in more than 100,000 patients to date. In March 2009 and November 2010 respectively, Spectral obtained the exclusive development and commercial rights in the U.S. and Canada for Toraymyxin."
and in September 2015
"The stand-alone pump is also designed to provide an open platform for other hemoperfusion cartridges and to deliver continuous renal replacement therapy ("CRRT") when indicated. Approval of this instrument by Health Canada is anticipated during the fourth quarter of 2015, with 510K approval in the United States targeted for the first quarter of 2016."
