Vancouver, British Columbia – TheNewswire – October 19, 2020 – Blackhawk Growth Corp. (CSE:BLR) (CNSX:BLR.CN) (the “Corporation” or “Blackhawk“), is pleased to provide the following corporate update.
The Health Canada Interim Order (“IO”) application was completed and submitted for the ExProbe SARS-CoV-2 Testing Kit. The Company received confirmation of receipt from Health Canada on October 14, 2020. Even though Blackhawk cannot guarantee timelines, the anticipated time to process the application is between 40 and 60 days.
The IO process for the SARS-CoV-2 IgG/IgM Rapid Test Kit is scheduled to be submitted as soon as it is completed. The application process, though similar, has many more parameters and thus requires more time to prepare. Health Canada timelines will vary on a case by case basis for an IO application review. As we understand, currently this duration is closer to 4 weeks from the time of submission but could take longer depending on the extent of information requests received from Health Canada.
Blackhawk makes no representations or provide any guarantees on Health Canada review timelines, or that any particular application will be successful.
We would also like to confirm that Blackhawk has obtained its Medical Device Establishment License (MDEL) and will be acting as the agent for the manufacturer in Canada. The ExProbe SARS-CoV-2 Testing Kit was submitted with Blackhawk as the agent.
