What is included in this list
Authorizations may be revoked for some medical devices that were authorized under either the:
- first interim order for importing and selling medical devices during COVID-19 or
- most recent interim order for importing and selling medical devices during COVID-19 (IO No. 2)
It is important for health care professionals and other users to check this list regularly for those products no longer authorized.
Reasons for authorization being removed

- The risks outweigh the benefits.
- The terms and conditions were not met.
- A foreign regulatory authority cancelled its authorization.
- The manufacturer received a medical device licence.
- The manufacturer is no longer marketing the device.
Risks outweigh benefits
Under paragraph 8(a) of IO No. 2, the Minister may cancel a device’s authorization if there is enough evidence showing:
- the risks of using the device are greater than the benefits or
- the health or well-being of patients who use the device may be negatively affected
Terms and conditions not met
Under paragraph 8(b) of IO No. 2, the Minister may cancel a device’s authorization if the terms and conditions placed on the authorization are not being met.
Authorization cancelled by a foreign regulatory authority
Under paragraph 8(d) of IO No. 2, the Minister may cancel a device’s authorization if the foreign regulatory authority has cancelled or suspended the authorization for sale. Foreign regulatory authorities include the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, the Australian Therapeutic Goods Administration and others.
Licence issued
