Medical Device Usability and IEC 62366
We bring together regulatory knowledge with academic research and practice to assist you with small to large projects.
Course Description
‘Usability (or human factors) engineering’ has become a hot topic in the medical device industry. Manufacturers are under increasing pressure to demonstrate compliance to IEC 62366-1:2015+AMD1:2020 Application of Usability Engineering to Medical Devices.
Further, manufacturers may need to prepare a Human Factors Engineering report for the FDA and consider ANSI/AAMI HE75: 2009 (R2018) Human Factors Engineering – Design of Medical Devices.
What you will learn
Delegates will learn how to:
- Achieve compliance with IEC 62366-1:2015+AMD1:2020
- Use design guidance in ANSI/AAMI HE75: 2009(R2018)
- Select and apply usability techniques
- Develop testable requirements for usability
- Manage the risk of use error
- Develop a usability engineering process
- Document usability activities in the usability engineering file and HFE report (US)
The course consists of a mixture of lectures, case studies and workshops which can be based on examples brought to the course by the participants.

This course has a very good balance between the theoretical and practical aspects of Usability Engineering. We brought home motivation, a deeper understanding, and several techniques that can be seamlessly implemented into our design and development projects. Highly recommended for organisations that take product safety and ease of use seriously.
