IEC 62366-1 Edition 1.0 2015-02
Medical devices - Part 1: Application of usability engineering to medical devices [Including CORRIGENDUM 1 (2016)] |
|
| U.S. Identical Adoption |
Scope/AbstractThis part of IEC 62366 specifies a PROCESS for a MANUFACTURER to analyse, 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 can be used to identify but does not assess or mitigate RISKS associated with ABNORMAL USE.
NOTE 1 SAFETY is freedom from unacceptable RISK. Unacceptable RISK can arise from USE ERROR, which can lead to exposure to direct physical HAZARDS or loss or degradation of clinical functionality.
NOTE 2 Guidance on the application of USABILITY ENGINEERING to MEDICAL DEVICES is available in IEC 62366-22, which addresses not only SAFETY but also aspects of USABILITY not related to SAFETY.
If the USABILITY ENGINEERING PROCESS detailed in this International Standard has been complied with, then the USABILITY of a MEDICAL DEVICE as it relates to SAFETY is presumed to be acceptable, unless there is OBJECTIVE EVIDENCE to the contrary.
NOTE 3 Such OBJECTIVE EVIDENCE can subsequently originate from POST-PRODUCTION surveillance. |

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. |
|
Transition Period
| FDA recognition of IEC 62366-1 Edition 1.0 [Rec# 5-114] will be superseded by recognition of IEC 62366-1 Edition 1.1 [Rec# 5-129]. FDA will accept declarations of conformity, in support of premarket submissions, to [Rec # 5-114] until July 9, 2023. After this transition period, declarations of conformity to [Rec # 5-114] will not be accepted. |
