As part of post-market surveillance, the MDR also requires the “identification of ways to improve the suitability for use” (MDR, Article 83, paragraph 3).
Many manufacturers ignore this requirement: either no data at all is collected in relation to usability or user errors, or the data that is collected, such as direct user feedback, is not further examined or categorized in relation to usability aspects.
As a result, there are no reliable findings as to whether the usability of the UI enables safe and efficient operation in everyday use even after it has been placed on the market.
We would like to support you as manufacturer to perform a more efficient usability engineering, but also to proactively perform a PMS which is conform with the MDR.
Together we determine possibilities how to get utilizable information on usability and use errors and how to evaluate them.
We analyze data base entries to find out whether they are usability-relevant and whether they point to use errors.
We instruct users to perceive and identify use errors and use difficulties during use.
We interview users to obtain their experiences during use of the UI.
We observe user during the work and note possible use errors and use difficulties.
We document and analyze the obtained data for you and discuss possible measure for mitigation.
Our usability experts will help you choose the optimal PMS test for your products, providing you with the following benefits:
You meet the requirements of the MDR for surveillance after placement on the market and can report the results to the Notified bodies.
You obtain valuable PMS data you can use for the improvement of the UI for risk mitigation.
You offer user-friendly products which are evaluated during actual use in day-to-day work and can capitalize on it as advantage.
You receive feedback directly from the market, allowing you to determine whether your product is accepted and satisfies users in real-life situations.
