The revised human factors guidance document encourages incorporation of human factors processes and considerations early in the product\u2019s development, essentially \u201cdesigning out\u201d potential hazards in a device and its interface system. The belief on the part of the FDA is that these design checks and balances should significantly reduce severe use-related risks that could cause patient harm or impair medical treatment.<\/p>\n

Human factors validation\u2014sometimes referred to as summative usability testing\u2014assesses whether the final medial UI solution supports safe and successful use by adhering to the following:<\/p>\n

– The test participants represent the intended (actual) users of the device (the test sample size is best determined from the results of the preliminary analyses and evaluations)
\n– All critical tasks are performed during the test
\n– The device user interface represents the final design
\n– The test conditions are sufficiently realistic to represent actual conditions of use<\/p>\n
