What is Human Factors Engineering,
and why is it important?
7
Human Factors Engineering
8
The FDA defines Human Factors as “the application of knowledge about human
behavior, abilities, limitations…to the design of medical devices including…
• mechanical and software
driven interfaces,
• user documentation, and
• user training
…to enhance and demonstrate safe
and effective use.”
Why is Human Factors Engineering Important?
9
Conservatively estimated, there are 210,000 preventable hospital
deaths annually in the United States.

● Software led users to confuse the left and right sides of patient’s brain
● This depiction of brain hemispheres is inherently confusing. The person’s right
side is labelled ‘left’ and vice-versa

Use Error Definitions
27
Use Error (IEC 62366-1): User action or lack of USER action while using the
MEDICAL DEVICE that leads to a different result than that intended by the
MANUFACTURER or expected by the USER.
Use Error (FDA): User action or lack of action that was different from that
expected by the manufacturer and caused a result that
(1) was different from the result expected by the user and
(2) was not caused solely by device failure and
(3) did or could result in harm
Usability Testing
28
• Early-Stage Formative Studies on
mock-ups and prototypes
• Later-Stage End-to-End Formative
Studies to confirm readiness for
Validation
• Final Summative Usability/Human
Factors Validation Testing for
regulatory submissions
FDA Guidelines for Design of a Human Factors Validation Study
29
The human factors validation testing should be designed as
follows:
• Sample size of at least n=15 per user profile.
• Participants must be US Residents
• Participants must have representative training (or lack of
training), and appropriate training decay
• Participants must have no prior exposure to the product
• Participants must use the device independently and
naturally, without interference or influence from the facilitator
or moderator.
We typically recruit 18 participants per user profile to account for no
shows/disqualified participants
Usability Testing Considerations During the COVID-19 Pandemic
30
Special modifications should be made to usability tests to
minimize the risk of transmission of the novel coronavirus:
● All participants and the study team should be equipped
with necessary PPE, including gloves and face masks
● The study articles, equipment, and surfaces in the study
room should be wiped down with disinfectant between
study sessions
● The study team should require participants to inform the
study team if they show symptoms prior to or within 2
weeks after the study session
● Remote moderation and observation is encouraged
● Government rules and regulations supersede the study
protocol

● USERS AND ENVIRONMENTS Identify and
analyze intended users and expected use scenarios
and use environments
● HAZARDS AND CONSEQUENCES Identify
and explore potential device use‐related hazards and
risks, and their potential clinical consequences
● IMPLEMENT CONTROLS Explore different
design alternatives, and test that they’re effective

  • 28. Usability Testing 28 • Early-Stage Formative Studies on mock-ups and prototypes • Later-Stage End-to-End Formative Studies to confirm readiness for Validation • Final Summative Usability/Human Factors Validation Testing for regulatory submissions
  • 29. FDA Guidelines for Design of a Human Factors Validation Study 29 The human factors validation testing should be designed as follows: • Sample size of at least n=15 per user profile. • Participants must be US Residents • Participants must have representative training (or lack of training), and appropriate training decay • Participants must have no prior exposure to the product • Participants must use the device independently and naturally, without interference or influence from the facilitator or moderator. We typically recruit 18 participants per user profile to account for no shows/disqualified participants
  • 30. Usability Testing Considerations During the COVID-19 Pandemic 30 Special modifications should be made to usability tests to minimize the risk of transmission of the novel coronavirus: ● All participants and the study team should be equipped with necessary PPE, including gloves and face masks ● The study articles, equipment, and surfaces in the study room should be wiped down with disinfectant between study sessions ● The study team should require participants to inform the study team if they show symptoms prior to or within 2 weeks after the study session ● Remote moderation and observation is encouraged ● Government rules and regulations supersede the study protocol
