New conditions imposed
All breast implant devices have the following conditions imposed on them:
- All cases of BIA-ALCL must be reported to the TGA within 10 days of being notified.
- Sponsors are required to provide six monthly reports covering supply data, details of all adverse events, and all complaints, both in Australia and world-wide.
- The risk of BIA-ALCL must be included in clinicians’ Instructions for Use of all breast implant and tissue expander devices.
- Patient information leaflets must include warnings about the risks of BIA-ALCL.
Some ARTG entries also had a condition to provide additional clinical data to the TGA by 1 July 2020 with:
- immunotoxicology studies, and
- updated risk assessment documentation and processes with appropriate hazard controls implemented.
For all ARTG entries that had this condition imposed, the condition has been met.
Legacy implant
Legacy implants are breast implants that women may have had implanted but are no longer available.
This could be for various reasons; for example, the company may have removed them from the market themselves, or the TGA may have cancelled them for other reasons such as manufacturing concerns.
Not all legacy implants are listed here, only those which Australian consumers may still have implanted. Breast implants are not a life-time device and are designed to be replaced every 10 to 15 years.
