Medical device reforms webinar 3: an introduction to the Unique Device Identifier (UDI)

This recording is the third webinar in a series presented by the CEC on its Medical Device Governance Program (MDGP). The program is intended to guide healthcare professionals on the  Medical Device Reforms devised by the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA).

This webinar explores the unique device identifier. It was recorded on 1 May 2024.

In NSW, the CEC is supporting the response to the reforms. It is coordinating the implementation of these reforms across the NSW Health system in partnership with the Ministry of Health, Agency for Clinical Innovation, HealthShare NSW, eHealth NSW, Health Infrastructure, Local Health Districts and Speciality Health Networks, and consumer representatives.

The aim of the CEC’s MDGP is to support healthcare professionals in this process by raising awareness of changes to the existing procedures and introduction of new requirements, enabling system changes to reflect the requirements of the reforms, and empowering staff and patients to report concerns with medical devices they use.
