米edical Device Registration in Australia

班级ification of Medical Devices in Australia 

In Australia, medical devices are classified as per the Australian Therapeutic Goods (Medical Devices) Regulations 2002. Medical devices are classified with respect to their intended purpose. Particularly, the classification rules take into consideration the degree of invasiveness in the human body, the duration use, location of use, and whether the device relies on a source of energy other than the body or gravity.  

不同的设备类和相关风险： 

班级	风险
I级	Low
I级(supplied sterile)	低介质
I类（包含测量功能）
I级Ia
I级Ib	中等偏上
I级II	高的
AIMD (Active Implantable Medical Devices)	高的

班级ification of IVD Medical Devices: 
IVD医疗设备根据其预期目的和来自不正确结果产生的健康风险或个人风险进行分类。 

班级	风险
班级1 IVD	没有公共卫生风险或人身风险低
2级IVD	低公共卫生风险或适度的个人风险
3级IVD	适度的公共卫生风险或高个人风险
4级IVD	高公共卫生风险

澳大利亚TGA赞助商 

医疗器械或IVD制造商，不在澳大利亚的不受国家代表，称为澳大利亚赞助商或TGA赞助商。TGA赞助商在澳大利亚的医疗设备注册中发挥着至关重要的作用，并通过作为制造商和TGA之间的联络人士作为联络。澳大利亚TGA赞助商名称必须出现在设备和标签上。 

 Essential Principles 
在申请纳入Theaustralian登记册之前，制造商需要遵守基本原则，以纳入治疗货物（ARTG）。这些基本原则提出了医疗设备的财务设计和制造要求。有六个适用于所有设备的必要原则（与健康和安全有关，包括长期安全，较福利超过风险的福利），并进一步九项关于适用于案例的设备的设计和建筑的必要原则-case基础。六项一般基本原则包括以下内容：  

• 医疗设备应遵循规定的健康和安全措施。
• 根据安全规范，需要使用医疗设备设计和构建。

• 医疗设备需要展示其预期目的 
• 他们需要长期安全。 
• 由于运输或商店，不应受到不利影响。
• Benefits of medical devices outweigh any undesirable effects. 

预先市场评估：医疗器械的符合性评估  

Conformity assessment is the systematic and ongoing examination of evidences and procedures to determine that the safety of a medical device is acceptable and the device performs as intended and therefore, conforms to the essential principles. Based on device classification, appropriate conformity assessment route must be selected. Devices that have already possess CE certification from European notified bodies have more advantages in meeting TGA requirements. The TGA considers the Medical Device Single Audit Program (MDSAP) audit reports in its conformity assessment, since Australia is one of the partners participating in MDSAP. 

米arket Authorization: Inclusion of Medical Devices in ARTG 

• 在艺术中​​纳入较低的风险设备 
  For Class I medical devices that do not have a measuring function and are not intended to be supplied sterile, a copy of the manufacturer’s Declaration of Conformity for the device with the application to include the device in the ARTG must be submitted. Sponsors of these devices must also be able to provide other documentation (e.g., labelling, instruction for use and evidence of the performance of the device, etc) to the TGA on request. 
• 包含ARTG中的所有其他设备（除较低的风险除外） 
  Any application for inclusion of a medical device in the ARTG must include specific information as required in the application form, including conformity assessment certification from TGA or other comparable overseas regulators and possibly evidence of product assessment. The TGA may approve the inclusion of a device in the ARTG based on the information provided in the application, or TGA may select an application for audit assessment. If TGA approves, then an Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods (ARTG) listing number will be issued. 

后市场评估医疗设备 
一旦设备获得批准，制造商必须继续监控其设备的性能和安全，并确保继续遵守基本原则。制造商必须使用从安全和不良事件报告，投诉，新识别的风险，文献，新的临床调查，重大监管行动等监测活动等数据，以审查绩效，安全和受益风险评估设备。 In a brief medical device registration in Australia explains that if a manufacturer wants to supply legally then the device needs to be included in ARTG.

对于澳大利亚的医疗器械注册，制造商应检查他们的产品是否与相关指南有关，整个过程可能需要3至8周或更长时间，具体取决于产品规格。制造商需要了解他们的财务和法律责任。
