Considering Human Factors in Designing Medical Device Trials

Increasingly, FDA is requiring that clinical evaluations take into account human factors and their effects on device design. It is becoming more important to address how these affect the safety, performance and reliability of medical device use to ensure appropriate device design. Evaluating the human interface in the user environment produces critical data for pre-market applications to FDA. However, medical device trials intending to collect these unique data must be carefully designed to bring the most valuable data to light.

In this audio conference the speaker looks at various human factors which must be taken into consideration when designing a medical device clinical trial, and uses a series of real-life examples to illustrate how best to incorporate them into the design process. In addition, all attendees will receive a copy of Pleiad's Human Factors Considerations checklist.

Considering Human Factors in Designing Medical Device Trials was presented by Annette Valles-Sukkar, Senior Manager, Clinical Operations, with Pleiad Devices and aired on 2009-05-07. For more details or to download this event, please visit our site at www.fxconferences.com
