Why Usability Testing is Essential for Medical Devices
Usability Testing is a cornerstone of safe and user-centered medical device development. It enables teams to identify and resolve design issues, prevent use errors, and validate that devices can be used safely and effectively by the intended users in real-world conditions. In accordance with IEC 62366-1 and FDA guidance, usability testing ensures that user interface-related risks are systematically identified and mitigated. It strengthens regulatory submissions and reduces costly design iterations late in development.
