Abstract
Medical devices are providing ever more benefits and at the same time are becoming more complex with user interfaces that are not so intuitive, difficult to learn, and difficult to use. Use-errors caused by inadequate medical device usability have become an increasing source of adverse safety events. As healthcare evolves, and more home-use is promoted as a cost-saving measure, less skilled users including patients themselves are now using medical devices. This chapter examines the contribution of usability engineering to the safety of medical devices.
