FR Recognition Number 5-84
Standard
AAMI  TIR 49:2013/(R)2020
Technical Information Report Design of training and instructional materials for medical devices used in non-clinical environments
Scope/Abstract
The purpose of this technical information report (TIR) is to provide a relevant source of information, design criteria, and guidelines for the instructional and training materials and processes intended to accompany medical devices used in a non-clinical environment, which for the purpose of this document, is defined as an environment other than a facility where a health professional is continually present whenever a patient is present.
However, much of the information presented in this document can be applied, as well, to the design of instructions and training for the use of medical devices that will be used within clinical environments or in both clinical and nonclinical environments. The information in this document also applies to training and instructions for the use of combination products (e.g., transdermal drug delivery patches), which manufacturers sometimes do not consider to
be medical devices.
These guidelines are meant to supplement Annex D of ANSI/AAMI/IEC 62366:2007, ANSI/AAMI HE75:2009, and the numerous references available on the topic of human factor engineering, with a focus on the training and instructional materials that accompany medical devices used outside of clinical environments
Extent of Recognition

Rationale for Recognition
This standard is relevant to medical devices and is recognized on its scientific and technical merit and/or because it supports existing regulatory policies.
