TGA Software as Medical Device regulation information
The TGA has implemented changes through a number of amendments to the Therapeutic Goods (Medical Devices) Regulations 2002, and the recently finalised Therapeutic Goods (Excluded Goods) Amendment (Software-based Products) Determination 2021 which defines certain types of software that are possibly excluded from regulation.
A draft guidance package has been developed to support these reforms and ensure that the changes are fit for purpose. The guidance includes flowcharts and examples that demonstrate the regulatory changes. The TGA are continuing work on an online classification tool that will be available by 25 February 2021 (check the TGA or ANDHealth websites for further info).
The draft guidance is published on the TGA website at Regulation of software based medical devices:
- Is my software regulated?
- How the TGA regulates software based medical devices
- Regulatory changes for software based medical devices
- Examples of regulated and unregulated software (excluded) software based medical devices
An exemption has also been introduced for some clinical decision support software (CDSS) which meet the definition of a medical device. The current documents have been published as drafts and the TGA has invited continued consultation to refine the Guidance as published.
