Like Medicines, Therapeutic Devices
are categorised as either Listable or Registrable Products which contain animal or human
origin. Those materials or products which significantly affect
body functions must be registered whereas most devices only
need listing.
Registered devices must have full
toxicology and efficacy data in the submission. Listed devices must merely provide product
details, GMP, and labelling for submission. Most devices need to be manufactured in a
GMP approved facility.
From the second quarter 2002
submissions are in computer format and submitted on line to
Canberra by the Consultancy.
The Consultancy maintains an up to date set of regulatory
requirements, computer programs and application
forms.
The Consultancy can prepare, submit and
monitor the progress of Listings and Registrations of
Therapeutic Devices.
