Recently Released CAN/CSA C22.2 No. 60601-1:14
CAN/CSA C22.2 No. 60601-1:14 was published a couple months ago and is still not added into Health Canada’s List of Recognized Standards. Per our associate Christine Ruther recently indicated that “Health Canada…is open to receiving submissions that reference A1. If A1 is applied, Health Canada would appreciate a gap analysis to identify where the differences in the versions might impact the safety and effectiveness of the device to aid the person reviewing the file. (Such an analysis can be readily created.)” This gap assessment should be conducted between the currently Recognized standard such as CAN/CSA C22.2 No 60601-1:08 against the CAN/CSA C22.2 No. 60601-1:14.
