NanoSpeed Diagnotics Inc., an Edmonton-based start up company, announced earlier this week they have appointed AKSA Medical, an exclusive European distributor, for distribution of their 25-OH Vitamin D deficiency test kit - Test4Dâ„¢ in the European Union. NanoSpeed has sold 250,000 kits worldwide since 2013 in markets such as India and regulatory approvals are in the works for China, South Korea and Malaysia.
The test has yet to be approved for commercial use in Canada or the United States, but approvals from Health Canada and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration are expected to come by the end of next year.
