A new technical report, AAMI TIR59:2017, Integrating human factors into design controls, provides industry with detailed guidance on the integration of human factors and usability engineering into design controls, with use-safety as a primary objective of new device design and development. AAMI HE committee member Sean Hägen will provide an overview of the report, with a focus on the practical implementation of human factors engineering/usability engineering processes, activities and their corresponding applicability to a new or pre-existing quality system’s design controls in accordance with 21 CFR 820.30 as well as ANSI/AAMI/IEC 62366-1:2015.
Topics covered include:
- Importance of incorporating pre-design controls human factors engineering (HFE)/usability engineering (UE) processes
- The pros and cons of different HFE/UE process adoption approaches
- Who are the stakeholders in the HFE/UE process and implementation plan
- The relationship of the HFE/UE process to the Risk Management process
The webinar takeaways include:
- Understanding the expectation deltas between the FDA and IEC in context of a Design Controls process
- Understanding the need to assess the scale a HFE/UE process under design controls
- The relationship of the HFE/UE process with Design Inputs/Outputs and V&V
Trainer:
- Sean Hägen, IDSA, HFES, Principal, Director of Research & Synthesis, BlackHägen Design, Dunedin, FL
Target Audience:
This webinar is designed for all developers and manufacturers of medical product systems and combination products that contain a device constituent part. The TIR is for those manufacturers intending to commercialize products in the United States and therefore does not address all requirements for commercializing products outside the U.S.
