What Guidance on Digital Health Technologies - Software as a Medical Device (SaMD) Classification, Advertising Rules and Post-Market Monitoring requires

This guidance outlines the Therapeutic Goods Administration's (TGA) regulatory framework for Software as a Medical Device (SaMD) in Australia, including classification rules based on risk, advertising requirements under the Therapeutic Goods Advertising Code, and post-market monitoring obligations under the Therapeutic Goods Act 1989. It applies to sponsors and developers of digital health software intended for medical purposes, particularly those seeking inclusion in the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods (ARTG). Key provisions are derived from the Therapeutic Goods (Medical Devices) Regulations 2002 and the TGA's interpretation of SaMD under the IMDRF framework.
