Medical Device Registration in Australia Process:
Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) oversees regulation of medical devices in Australia through Australian Regulatory Guidelines for Medical Devices (ARGMD) and these guidelines closely resemble with the regulations put into place by the European Union. To gain access to the Australian market, medical device and IVD manufacturers need to include their products in the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods (ARTG). Medical devices are obliged to be entered in the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods (ARTG) before they can be lawfully supplied in Australia, imported into Australia or exported from Australia. currently TGA recognises CE marking, means companies who have already acquired the European market can easily meet TGA requirement.
