Part 4: Medical Devices Chapter 3: Enforcement Section 22: Suspension notices
This section gives the enforcement authority the power to issue a "suspension notice" suspending the availability of a medical device, if this is considered necessary in order to protect health and safety.
	Under subsection (2) the enforcement authority may serve a suspension notice on any person, meaning it can be served on any actor involved in the supply chain. A suspension notice may prohibit the person from doing any of the activities listed in this subsection, including supplying the device or offering it for supply, without the consent of the enforcement authority. This list is exhaustive.
	Subsection (3) sets out what information the suspension notice must include. The notice must set out the grounds on which the enforcement authority considers the suspension necessary and the length of time of the suspension.
	Subsection (4) states that this time period cannot be more than 6 months from the date the notice was served.
	Subsection (5) is self-explanatory.
