Maintaining the alert system
State and territory recall coordinators maintain an alert system for providing recall information within their jurisdictions.
They keep contact details up-to-date for relevant organisations and individuals, including:
- purchasing authorities
- public and private hospitals
- other professional groups.
State and territory recall coordinators need a written procedure for providing recall alerts to their contact list.
Make sure you can use your alert system as a rapid alert system in the case of an emergency.
Communicating within jurisdictionss
State and territory recall coordinators:
- Assist the sponsor to implement the communications and recall strategy agreed by us.
- Follow their own procedure for contacting relevant organisations when a sponsor initiates a recall.
We send the state and territory recall coordinators the TGA Recall Notice for all recall actions.
