Code of Practice

Course 2.0:  MTAA/MTANZ Code of Practice

Industry has a long association of working with healthcare professionals.  The MTAA/MTANZ Code of Practice provides guidance on the medical technology industry's relationships with healthcare professionals and consumers.  The 5th edition MTAA/MTANZ Code of Practice was adopted by Members in October 2009. The Code is self regulated by industry. Under the Code of Practice, there are specific obligations that need to be noted to ensure that member companies are compliant with the Code. 

It is a requirement of the MTAA/MTANZ Code of Practice that all member company staff engaged in direct interactions with healthcare professionals or those involved in purchasing activities complete Association approved Code training. A range of training options are available to medical technology companies.
