I understand for resizes that are eligible for FYI's the scaling must be directly proportional and cannot result in a change to the layout/flow/content or functionality.

Can you comment on if the following would be approvable as I believe it adheres to the above requirements. A small postcard, 5"x 5" is scaled up to 10"x 10". The scaled up pages are then arranged vertically (10" x 20"), matching the order of the PDF submitted to PAAB. This is printed on a poster board. No content is moved around on the pages themselves.

Can you also comment on if adding a QR code next to the scaled up postcard, that links to a PDF of the postcard, could be approved as an FYI or would require that a submission?

After reviewing the response to this question forum.paab.ca/topic/2723/aro-q-a-6-what-qualifies-for-a-minor-update I was wondering if the following scenario would qualify as a minor update. We have a detail aid that has a patient profile in it and we are in the process of creating a new stand-alone patient profile that we would like to include in the details aid once it is approved. If the content structure is the same in the new piece and this is the only change in the detail aid would this qualify?

This is based on this excerpt "A minor update is a revision to an existing APS in which one of the existing presentations is updated with more recent information of the same type."

If a product was previously approved with NOC/c and is expected to receive NOC after Health Canada has reviewed the completed phase 3 trial, can the new status of NOC be used as a sort of marekting benefit claim. Something similar to 'Product X now has NOC after completion of their pivotal trial', followed by an informative section on the difference between NOC/C and NOC? Could this also be something that is created as a sticker to go on existing materials overtop of the NOC/c disclaimer, or elsewhere on the piece.

Based on previous replies regarding Class III medical devices we are aware that PAAB does not review pieces that are limited to the device itself and the advertising of such devices is governed by MedTech Canada (formerly MEDEC), however I am wondering if we wanted to include information about a medical device in an APS along with messages that PAAB has previosuly reviewed and approved would the new APS need to be submitted to PAAB if the new content is limited to advertising the device, which is outside PAAB's scope? Furthermore if PAAB would need to review this message, what type of support is requires for messages relating to device as they don't have a PM to reference, or would PAAB not require any reference?
