safety alert related to medical devices, disinfectants and antiseptic with infectious hazards

[Sony SO]

Dear All,

We would like to know, in Australia, which government agent/department is responsible for the captioned issue.

This issue is raised because we would like to monitor the captioned issue (not only just for Aus. products but also other products i.e. global monitoring), and to notify our management and local users timely, if incident occurs.

Yours sincerely,

Sony SO
