TGA seeks recall procedure feedback
October 28, 2015
The Therapeutic Goods
Administration has published a
revised edition of the Uniform
Recall Procedure for Therapeutic
Goods, and has launched a
consultation on the new version.
The updated document has been
drafted as “accessible interlinking
web pages with print options,”
rather than as a PDF in order to
enhance navigation and usability.
It now includes a step-by-step
guide through the recall procedure,
with supporting information
such as the roles of sponsors,
manufacturers, the TGA, state
and territory Recall Coordinators,
wholesalers and distributors, health
professionals and consumers in the
process.
There are also new requirements
for recalling biologicals as well as
greater clarity on medical device
recall actions.
The consultation closes on 23
Nov, with the draft version now
online at www.tga.gov.au.
