The Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) Launches an Action Plan for Medical Devices.
The impact of medical device regulatory reform and international harmonization is being felt in all corners of the globe, including Australia. In early April, Australia’s Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) announced the “Action Plan for Medical Devices,” a national plan which includes strategies for improving how new devices get on the market, to strengthen monitoring and follow up of devices already in use, and provide more information to patients about the devices they use. In addition, as other stakeholders are doing throughout the world, the Australian TGA is also preparing for the impact of Brexit on its medical device market.
