This part of IEC 62366 specifies a process<\/small> for a manufacturer<\/small> to analyse, specify, develop and evaluate the usability<\/small> of a medical device<\/small> as it relates to safety<\/small>. This usability engineering<\/small> (human factors engineering<\/small>) process<\/small> permits the manufacturer<\/small> to assess and mitigate risks<\/small> associated with normal use<\/small>, i.e., correct use<\/small> and use error<\/small>. It can be used to identify but does not assess or mitigate risks<\/small> associated with abnormal use<\/small>.<\/p>\n

\n

 NOTE 1<\/p>\n

Safety<\/small> is freedom from unacceptable risk<\/small>. Unacceptable risk<\/small> can arise from use error<\/small>, which can lead to exposure to hazards<\/small> including loss or degradation of clinical performance.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

NOTE 2 Guidance on the application of usability engineering<\/small> to medical devices<\/small> is available in IEC 62366\u201122<\/sup>, which addresses not only safety<\/small> but also aspects of usability<\/small> not related to safety<\/small>.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

If the usability engineering process<\/small> detailed in this International Standard has been complied with, then the usability<\/small> of a medical device<\/small> as it relates to safety<\/small> is presumed to be acceptable, unless there is objective evidence<\/small> to the contrary.<\/p>\n

\n

NOTE 3 Such objective evidence<\/small> can subsequently originate from post-production<\/small> surveillance.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
