Contextual Use of a Healthcare Product Name
-
Regarding Section 1.5 of the PAAB Code – Materials Not Subject to Preclearance, Section D provides examples (i to v) of contextual use of a healthcare product name. Is this an exhaustive list? If we were to have a different example (not represented on the list) where the healthcare product name was used in a context not linked to therapeutic or promotional messages, could it also be considered not subject to preclearance?

@eyim
The types of messages listed in section D are exhaustive. However, it is not exhaustive of how the principles might be demonstrated in a specific APS. We offer our opinion services if a company is unsure if an APS meets exemption criteria.
Please reach our to our admin team at review@paab.ca should you require assistance with this service.
