Human Factors for Medical Devices 2022

Medical device manufacturers with robust human factors processes are leading the market, proving to have better clinical outcomes and better quality. Attend AAMI’s three-day Human Factors for Medical Devices training to understand critical human factors processes to consider when designing a medical device, how they affect its safety, and which steps to take to mitigate risks. Hear directly from FDA representatives from CDRH and CDER about the expectations for device usability, how best to conduct human factors evaluation and testing, the pre-market review process, and how strong human factors processes should be a part of the design and development of medical devices.

A foundation for applying human factors will be set with discussions on user models and task analysis; anatomy of use errors; and how task analysis forms the basis for planning human factors efforts. Course content will also include a review of human factors methodologies – contextual inquiry, heuristic evaluations, formative studies, and summative studies. Relevant human factors standards are discussed as well as human factors in the post-market arena. There are hands-on exercises as well as real-life case studies illustrating the application of human factors to medical devices.
