Practical Advice and Integrated Examples

Detailed Description

This template will guide you in writing your human factors validation protocol, in accordance with FDA expectations (Applying Human Factors and Usability Engineering to Medical Devices Guidance).

Structured according to the logic expected in FDA submissions, it includes:

  • Identification of critical tasks,
  • Traceability between URRA and evaluation scenarios,
  • Definition of success criteria,
  • Organization of sessions (participants, environment, training, deadlines),
  • Management and analysis of collected data.

Human factors validation is a key element of an FDA submission: it must demonstrate that the user interface allows for safe and effective use and that residual use risks are controlled.

With the Aptenys template, you can focus on your methodological choices and risk analysis, without wasting time structuring the document or checking that all expected sections are present.

Designed to reflect the standards actually observed in FDA files, the framework is clear, consistent, and directly usable by a regulatory or quality team.

Written by usability specialists who have supported manufacturers in CE and FDA, this template combines regulatory rigor and practical pragmatism.

A 15-minute video conference with one of our experts is included to help you get started with the template: understand its structure, color codes, and filling logic. (This session does not include specific advice or support for the device.)
