As you are aware, concerns have been raised with the Commission about the application of Standard Australia standard AS/NZS4187:2014 – Reprocessing of reusable medical devices in health service organisations.

The Commission agreed at the June meetings of the IJC and the Private Hospital Sector Committee to conduct a workshop to consider these issues and redraft the current Advisory AS18/07 in the interim.

Please be advised that an amended Advisory AS18/07 – Reprocessing of reusable medical devices in health service organisations was released today. It can be found on our website at the following link – https://www.safetyandquality.gov.au/publications-and-resources/resource-library/as1807-reprocessing-reusable-medical-devices-health-service-organisations

Please contact Margaret Banks on 02 9126 3684 if you have any queries in relation to this matter.

Thank you.

Kind regards,
Katherine
