Reason
The camera which is used as an "educational tool" by optometrists, in educating patients of Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD) was flagged (by Health Canada) for not having a medical device licence. They indicated that the device is a class II medical device under rule 10(1). Follow up emails concluded that although the device does not diagnose or directly treat the patient - it is used to encourage patients to stay compliant with treatment and therefore requires a class II medical device licence.
