Improved sharing of information about medical devices – Proposed amendments relating to transparency of disruptions to supply of a medical device

The consultation outlines proposed changes that would allow the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) to more effectively release certain information about actual or potential disruptions to the supply of a medical device.

Your feedback is sought on:

• whether the TGA should release information about managing medical devices shortages or disruptions to supply
• whether the information should be made public or shared only to specific stakeholders
• what types of information should be released when a medical device supply disruption occurs
• whether sponsors should be notified and given the opportunity to comment before information is released
