Usability Engineering For Medical Devices

Quick Guide on Standards-Compliant Usability Processes

With our quick guide, you can implement the usability process in compliance with IEC 62366-1, avoid costly rounds of revisions and pass the MDR and FDA audit with confidence.

 

How can you ensure your medical device is approved by the MDR or FDA safely and efficiently?

In this quick guide, "Usability Engineering for Beginners", you will learn how to tackle this challenge. It serves as a strategic guide.

Many manufacturers fail their audits due to an incomplete usability dossier, or only discover serious design flaws shortly before launch. The result:

  • Costly delays: Incomplete documentation leads to lengthy queries from the Notified Bodies. You lose valuable time.
  • High development costs: Late corrections to the user interface are extremely expensive and cause massive delays to the schedule.
  • Safety risks: Poor usability is one of the main causes of serious user errors and product recalls.
