The Microbiology Advisory Committee (MAC) was set up in 1984 as an ad-hoc group of experts and specialist to advise the Department of Health and Social Security (later, from 1988, the Department of Health) on disinfection and sterilization practices for medical devices used in the health service. The MAC also advised on the preparation and ratification of Departmental guidance on microbiological aspects of equipment used and intended to be used in the health service. The secretariat was provided by the Scientific and Technical Branch of the Department. This function was taken over by the Medical Devices Agency (1994-2003) and by the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (from 2003). |
