Artifical Limb Service Documents

To save space on this site, all information and presentations relating to EnableNSW and the Artificial Limb Service have been moved to our companion site, www.geocities.com/nswpar_archive. We hope to re-integrate soon!

Therapeutic Goods Administration

As plaster temporary prostheses are no longer used in NSW, the TGA regulations relating to prosthese as class 1 medical devices are less of an issue for our group, as Physiotherapists are no longer classed as manufacturers. To save space on this site, all material relating to temporary prostheses and TGA compliance has been archived to our companion site, www.geocities.com/nswpar_archive.
