First-aid kits

First aid kits are regulated by the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) as medical devices that are system or procedure packs, as they contain a combination of two or more goods including at least one medical device, which are all packaged together for convenient use in an emergency and for rapid, initial treatment of injuries.

This means that like other system or procedure packs, first aid kits are regulated as single medical devices in their own right and therefore must also be included in the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods (ARTG).
