CURRENT TRENDS OF MEDICAL DEVICE REGULATION IN AUSTRALIA Authors: Meghana D , KOUSHIK Y AND RAMA RAO N
ABSTRACT
With Increased use of medical devices, strict regulatory standards are required to ensure that
devices are safe, well-studied and have the least adverse reactions. The updated TGA guidelines
and the legislative amendment provide adequate guidance for both manufacturers and the
competent authorities to manage cases effectively and in an appropriate manner. These
guidelines shall be updated annually according to the schedule, which provides a high level of
encouragement in the research of medical devices, as is currently the case. Pharmacy staff can
certainly play an important role in the regulation of medical devices. The safety, risks,
effectiveness and performance of medical devices must be well established and properly
regulated. It is hoped that the guidelines will be implemented and properly regulated with an
effective outcome.
