Human Factors - The Increasing Importance of Instructions for Use

Key Considerations for Success

This free webinar will focus on the often overlooked but increasingly important area of Instructions for Use for medical products. From the perspective of human factors and usability engineering, Instructions for Use significantly impact the performance of the user to use medical devices safely and effectively and often are only used when the user has a problem. The webinar will look at why we need Instructions for Use to be usable, not only for safety but for regulatory approval and how you achieve that. It will address what predictions can be made from existing data and discuss what the future of Instructions for Use could be. This is an excellent opportunity to learn more about this important element of your regulatory submission.
