Human Factors Engineering for Medical Devices

We are Human Factors Experts with international experience in medical device development

We plan and execute formative studies and summative usability validation and deliver submission-ready documentation for 510(k), De Novo, and PMA pathways for your human factors engineering process.

FDA HFE submission checklist

USE-Ing. helps your covering everything what the FDA expects from formative evaluations, critical task analysis, and summative usability validation—and how to translate findings into design changes and submission-ready evidence.

User Research

Formative research and user insights

We investigate users, environments, workflows, and constraints that directly affect safe and effective device use. This includes contextual inquiry, interviews, and early formative evaluations depending on project maturity.

  • User groups, use environments, and key workflows

  • Task and workflow breakdown for realistic scenarios

  • Early design feedback for risk-relevant interaction points

User Research
Use related Risk

We support teams in identifying hazards that arise from use, deriving critical tasks, and defining the conditions that must be addressed through interface design, labeling, training, and validation.

  • URRA inputs consolidated into a testable structure

  • Critical task list with rationale and traceability

  • Test scenarios that reflect real-world conditions and foreseeable use errors

Use-related risk analysis

Use-related risk analysis (URRA) and critical tasks

USE SPECIFICATION / UI SPECIFICATION

Use specification and user interface specification

We document intended users, environments, and use scenarios and translate them into UI requirements that can be verified and tested. This supports consistent decisions across design, risk management, and verification.

  • Use specification (users, environments, scenarios)UI requirements with measurable acceptance criteria

  • UI requirements with measurable acceptance criteria

  • Traceability between risks, tasks, and UI elements
User Interface Specification
User Evaluation

We design and conduct summative usability validation to demonstrate that intended users can perform critical tasks safely and effectively under realistic conditions, with predefined success criteria and robust documentation.

  • Validation protocol and moderator guide

  • Data capture plan, deviation handling, and analysis structure

  • Summative validation reporting aligned with FDA expectations

USER INTERFACE EVALUATIONS

Summative usability validation and interface evaluations

Bring your current design stage, risk status, and submission timeline—we will propose a practical HFE plan.
