Health Canada warns against PAP-IMI  AND issues a recall -
They ignore complaints about QXCI / EPFX

Now what in the world is Health Canada going to do about QXCI / EPFX
devices  that they approved in 2006, and 2007?

What is the difference here?

They have both been used to defraud customers for years.

Health Canada/Advisory: Use of Unlicensed Pap-Ion Magnetic Inductor May Pose Health Risk

OTTAWA, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Dec. 28, 2007) - Health Canada is advising
Canadians not to use or accept treatment with the Pap-Ion Magnetic
Inductor (PAP-IMI), an unlicensed medical device that may pose health
risks. Use of this device may be linked to patient injury and death in the
United States and may delay or interfere with effective treatment of an
existing health condition.

The PAP-IMI is advertised for sale in Canada and is promoted for use in
various alternative health and wellness clinics across the country. This
device delivers electromagnetic energy to the body. It is promoted as a
way to repair damaged cells and treat cancer, AIDS, skin disorders, joint
and muscular pain, skin conditions and various other disorders.

The PAP-IMI is not licensed in Canada. Health Canada does not have any
evidence of its effectiveness, safety and quality.

Health Canada has issued a stop sale and recall letter to the
manufacturers of this device and has issued an import alert to the
Canadian Border Services Agency to detain this device at the border.

To date, there have been no adverse events reported in Canada related to
the PAP-IMI.
