User / Human Factors Engineering Under IEC 62366-1, -2

Why Should You Attend:

IEC 62366 is the international standard that covers the application of usability engineering to medical devices. This standard helps medical device manufacturers consider human factors by offering a standardized 9 stage process for analyzing, specifying, developing, and evaluating the usability of their medical device, and document the process and results. This standard would satisfy the human factors requirement of the US FDA. It presents a 9 step methodology to perform and document User / Human Factors Engineering, with a focus on the typical human user.
