A concise, clearly written, readable user guide can mean the difference between a successful, happy customer and a frustrated, angry, or even endangered one. This audio conference approaches readability in medical-device documentation from two directions. First, our speaker explains how to achieve the reading level required by the FDA, providing attendees with the tools for measuring the reading level and adjusting it editorially. Second, she offers a variety of methods for increasing conciseness and simplicity in medical writing, which can be applied to any level of complexity to improve readability. The presentation also reviews graphical aspects that improve readability, such as the proper use of white space, leading, lists, and sidebars. Throughout the conference, the speaker uses specific examples from her own work and cites the relevant FDA guidance documents.
