Reported risk: Health Canada is advising Canadians that several clinics in Ontario and at least one in Québec are currently using illegally imported medical devices, Cryosaunas, which are potentially linked to a death in the US. Cryosaunas use liquid nitrogen to expose users to cold air (at or below -200-300°F) for several minutes for the purpose of "whole body therapy".
