Human factors engineering (HFE) and Usability Engineering Report(UER)

What is Human Factors Engineering?

Human Factors Engineering (HFE) is the application of knowledge about human abilities, limitations, and behaviors to the design of medical devices. The purpose of HFE is to optimize the interaction between people and medical devices to enhance performance, safety, and user satisfaction.

What is a Usability Engineering Report?

A Usability Engineering Report (UER) is a comprehensive document that captures the usability engineering activities and results during the development of a medical device. It serves as a key piece of documentation demonstrating compliance with regulatory requirements for usability and human factors engineering (HFE).

The UER provides evidence that the device’s design has undergone thorough usability testing and evaluation, ensuring that it is safe, effective, and user-friendly. It is often a required document for regulatory submissions to bodies such as the FDA or for compliance with standards like ISO 62366-1.

AML Christensen’s service

By integrating HFE principles into the development of your medical device, we can help you create a product that is safer, more effective, and better suited to the needs of the users. Moreover, by systematically documenting the HFE principles and usability engineering process in the UER, we can help you provide clear evidence that your device has been designed with a deep understanding of user interactions, ultimately ensuring a safer and more effective product. This will be conducted in accordance with ISO 62366-1.
