Australia TGA medical device classification 

Home
Australia TGA medical device classification 

The Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) in Australia regulates medical devices through a classification system based on the level of risk associated with their use. The classification system for medical devices in Australia is divided into four main classes: Class I, Class IIa, Class IIb, and Class III.   

  1. Class I: These are low-risk devices that are generally simple in design and pose minimal risk to the patient or user. Examples include bandages, non-invasive thermometers, and simple surgical instruments. 
  2. Class IIa: Devices in this class are of moderate risk and may have a more complex design compared to Class I devices. They might require specific controls to ensure their safety and effectiveness. Examples include contact lenses, hearing aids, and certain diagnostic devices. 
  3. Class IIb: These devices pose a higher risk than Class IIa devices and often require a greater degree of regulatory control. They typically include active devices or those intended for prolonged use. Examples include infusion pumps, implantable devices, and certain types of diagnostic imaging equipment. 
  4. Class III: These are the highest-risk devices, often involving invasive procedures or sustaining or supporting life. They require the most stringent regulatory controls to ensure their safety and efficacy. Examples include heart valves, implantable defibrillators, and certain types of prosthetic devices.
