We need to keep in mind every time we start a conversation about the industry. Your client is the one who needs a high-level service. Investing in new technology in the hospital environment requires a solid understanding of when and how its return will occur. Software, which on its own is a medical device — Software as a Medical Device — is one of three types of software related to medical devices. The other two types of software related to medical devices include software that is integral to a medical device Software in a medical device and software used in the manufacture or maintenance of a medical device.
The term Software as a Medical Device is defined by the International Medical Device Regulators Forum IMDRF as " software intended to be used for one or more medical purposes that perform these purposes without being part of a hardware medical device.
In addition, it is becoming more important as a medical device in its own right. Rapid innovation in technology has driven significant changes to software function and adoption, giving rise to a larger number of devices able to inform, drive or replace clinical decisions, or directly provide therapy to an individual.
Advances in computing technology and software production have led to a large increase in the number of software-based medical devices available on the market, requiring the implementation of reforms to ensure patient safety. Software based medical devices are medical devices that incorporate software or are software, including software as a medical device, or software that relies on particular hardware to function as intended, and are regulated in Australia by the Therapeutic Goods Administration TGA.
Software including mobile apps is a medical device if it fits within the definition of a medical device in section 41BD of the Therapeutic Goods Act , unless otherwise excluded. Many mobile apps are simply sources of information, or tools to manage a healthy lifestyle. The TGA does not regulate health and lifestyle apps or other software that does not meet the definition of a medical device. The following guidance is intended to provide information on the regulation in Australia for software and apps which meet the legislated definition of a medical device.
The purpose of this guidance is to help manufacturers and sponsors understand how the TGA interprets requirements, and thus indicate how manufacturers and sponsors can comply. This is a guide only, and manufacturers and sponsors are encouraged to familiarise themselves with the legislative and regulatory requirements in Australia, and if necessary, to seek professional advice.
