Hi,
There is a "Draft Guidance Document Preparation of Summary Technical Document (STED)-based Class III and IV Premarket in vitro diagnostic device licence applications and amendments"
http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/dhp-mps/cons...im_ld_donnees_ciii_civ_ivdd_sted-eng.php#a392
which states that "The IVDD should be tested against a reference standard, method, or test, having a true clinical status, if known. If the reference is a commercial assay, it must have a valid Canadian licence. The complete name(s) of the device(s) and the licence number(s) should be provided. If there is no Canadian licensed test, you are encouraged to contact the Medical Devices Bureau for further guidance." This guidance supplies detailed information of the required format of the clinical performance data.
