These materials must comply with the Essential Principles to be considered regulatory compliant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">This guidance outlines:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>the types of patient information materials, including PILs and PICs;\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>the circumstances in which patient information must be provided;\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>mandatory requirements for preparing patient information;\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>best practice recommendations; and\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>steps to take when patient information materials do not meet regulatory requirements.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Manufacturer and Sponsor Responsibilities<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Requirements for patient information materials form part of the Essential Principles in Part 2 of the Medical Devices Regulations. Sponsors must ensure that any device listed in the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods (ARTG) under their name complies with these Essential Principles, including those relating to patient information. Manufacturers are responsible for preparing the content of the leaflets and implant cards. Sponsors must maintain sufficient evidence demonstrating compliance or have systems in place to obtain the necessary information from the manufacturer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Non\u2011Compliance with Advertising Legislation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If patient information materials appear inconsistent with advertising legislation, the TGA may take follow\u2011up regulatory action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Patient Information Leaflets \u2013 Mandatory Requirements<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A PIL must be written in English, though additional language versions may be provided. Diagrams, drawings, and symbols (such as MR status symbols) may be included. When provided in hard copy, the English version is mandatory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The leaflet must:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>use text that is legible, with characters at least 1 mm in height (including letters, numbers, and symbols);\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>be easily accessible to the patient; and\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>be written in language that is clear and easy for patients to understand.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The leaflet must contain:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>information identifying the device or category of device;\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>the intended purpose of the device;\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>instructions and information required to ensure safe use; and\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>any other information the manufacturer considers useful.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Additionally, the leaflet must meet all requirements in Clause 13A.3 of the Medical Devices Regulations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How and When to Provide Leaflets<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The PIL must be supplied to the patient, though the regulations do not specify the format of delivery. The TGA expects sponsors and manufacturers to ensure that the leaflet:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>is accessible to both consumers and healthcare professionals;\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>is available free of charge; and\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>is accessible as early as possible to assist treatment discussions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Electronic Leaflets<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When hard\u2011copy leaflets are supplied, sponsors are strongly encouraged to also provide electronic versions. These support earlier access to essential information by patients and healthcare providers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>When supplying electronic versions, sponsors must ensure that:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>patients are aware of how to access the documents;\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>the manufacturer\u2019s website is easy to navigate; and\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>patients can locate the specific leaflet for their device.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Sponsors and manufacturers must keep adequate evidence showing that:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>electronic versions of the leaflets have been made available with the device; and\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>all Clause 13A.3 requirements have been met.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Leaflets for a \u2018Kind of Device\u2019<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>A single PIL may cover multiple devices if all the following conditions are met.
