TGA pushes back some device reforms but moves ahead with SaMD and UDI updates

Nov. 20, 2020
By Tamra Sami

The delay to the EU Medical Device Regulation (MDR) as a result of the pandemic will mean that Australia will also push back many of its device reforms for another year, said John Skerritt, the TGA’s deputy secretary of the Health Products Regulation Group.
