Revised URPTG - proposed changes • Web based format – easy to navigate • Step-by-step protocol with supporting information • New/changes to recall terminologies • Risk classification – inclusion of probability aspects • Greater clarification on the requirements for medical
devices (including IVDs) • Refined information required to assess a recall action
Feedback from the public consultation will be considered before finalising the changes

Recall actions – proposed changes The proposal is to have four types of recall actions: • Recall – the permanent removal of deficient goods from the market
or from use • Recall for Product Defect Correction – repair, modification,
adjustment, re-labelling, update to instructions or labelling • Hazard Alert – providing information to health practitioners
regarding the issues to implantable medical devices and advice on how to manage such patients
• Product Defect Alert (new term) – undertaken for critical therapeutic goods for which there is no alternative product or for which a recall action will result in interruption of patient treatment or a shortage

Recall Classification – proposed changes
Class I
• a situation in which there is a reasonable probability that the use of, or exposure to, a deficient product will cause serious adverse health consequences or death
Class II
• a situation in which use of, or exposure to, a deficient product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote
Class III
• a situation in which use of, or exposure to, the deficient product is not likely to cause adverse health consequences

Legislative Context (cont’d) Section 41KA: Public notification and recovery of medical devices • The Secretary’s powers and
processes for mandating device recalls not only for currently ‘included’ devices, but also for exempt, cancelled or illegally supplied devices
