About Human Factors Leading to Medical Device Adverse Events
ADVERSE EVENTS involving medical devices or equipment can lead to
serious problems, including incorrect or delayed diagnosis and
treatment or patient injuries. When errors involving medical devices
recur repeatedly, people typically blame the users instead of the
real culprit, which is often a poorly designed interface between the
medical device and the user. Human factors is the science that
focuses on understanding and supporting how people interact with
technology.
In health care, the objective of human factors is to improve human
performance with medical products, including medical devices, and to
reduce the likelihood of error or injury, thus improving patient and
workplace safety.
There are three major areas for evaluating medical-device-related
adverse events from a human factors perspective :
1. user characteristics, including the person’s abilities and
training and her expectations of the device.
2. device design considerations, which focus on the device-user
interface, including instructions for use.
3. the environment in which the device is used, including the
lighting, noise, distractions, and time constraints.
