Human Factors Engineering to Satisfy the New IEC 62366-1, -2
- Key parts of IEC 62366-1:2015 and -2:2016
- Written for easier to understand the intent/implementation
- Part 1 focuses on “what”, Part 2 on “how”
- Closer ties to ISO 14971, Medical Device Risk Management
- Closer adherence to US FDA guidance; more harmonization
- Planning requirements
- Defined engineering process
- User interface considerations
- How Use Engineering meshes with Risk Management (ISO14971), and the Design Control process.
Overview of the webinar
Part 1, IEC 62366-1:2015, “Application of the new Usability Engineering Standard to Medical Devices”, defines a 9-stage process to analyze, specify, develop and evaluate the usability of a medical device as it relates to safety. This usability engineering (human factors engineering) process permits the manufacturer to assess and mitigate risks associated with correct use and use errors, i.e., normal use. It is also used to identify (but does not assess or mitigate) risks associated with abnormal use.
Also not intended to address the purposeful/intentional misuse of a device.
Part 2, IEC/TR 62366-2:2016, “Guidance on the application of usability engineering to medical devices”, contains information to assist in complying with Part 1. This TR is not intended for regulatory purposes use. It has no requirements and only provides guidance/tutorial information, including more detailed descriptions of usability engineering methods. It has more general applications and goes beyond just the safety-related aspects of user interfaces.
Part 1 is the focus, containing the regulatory requirements of IEC 62366. It presents a format for conducting and then documenting the use engineering process in a way acceptable to the US FDA and the EU’s MDR, for device submissions and regulatory review/inspection.

Why should you attend?
IEC 62366-1:2015 and IEC/TR 62366-2:2016 provide a process and template for performing and documenting the key elements in use engineering (EU) and human factors engineering (US FDA). Use engineering should be performed in conjuction with product risk management under ISO 14971, both as part of design control, 21 CFR 820.30 and design and development planning, ISO 13485:2016 7.3, during R&D for a new device. This webinar breaks down and defines the use engineering process, its 9 defined stages, and its documentation to meet both US FDA and EU MDD /MDR requirements. Interfaces of unknown province is also discussed.
