| Reason/Issue |
The Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) has undertaken a post-market review of face masks included in the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods (ARTG).
Jet Express Group Pty Ltd has supplied batches of single use surgical masks which have not provided sufficient evidence to show compliance to the Essential Principles as set out in the Medical Device Regulations 2002.
Users are advised that these particular masks may not fully perform as intended, when dealing with potentially infected patients. These masks should therefore not be used in that sort of clinical or patient/caregiving scenario including hospital wards, operating theatres, general practice, nursing homes or during in-home care / support services. |
