A device that disinfects medical masks can’t be sold in Canada because its approval is mired in red tape, according to its makers.
St-Laurent-based Sanuvox makes and sells the Steromask, which allows N95 and surgical masks to be disinfected and reused up to 10 times. The disinfecting process lasts three minutes and uses ultraviolet light to break down the DNA or RNA of any micro-organisms.

Montreal company awaits approval of device that disinfects masks Back to video
Sanuvox president Jocelyn Dame said the Steromask, which was produced by Sanuvox in partnership with French engineering company Ingenica, would allow health authorities to save 90 per cent on the cost of masks, which are in short supply. Although it has been approved for use in France, health authorities here have been slow to approve it, Dame said, adding that the company submitted the device for approval both in Canada and France at around the same time.
“We could have had this deployed in March,” said Normand Brais, the company’s founder and vice-president. “It was tested against COVID-19 in a lab in France, and it passed (in April). This technology is now being deployed in France.”
