It begins by providing a foundational understanding of physical, perceptual, and cognitive abilities and limitations, emphasizing their profound implications for design. Through an in-depth analysis, a set of human factors principles is established, offering a versatile framework that can be applied across a wide range of design challenges. These principles are then applied to guidelines for creating input controls, visual displays, auditory displays (including alerts, alarms, and warnings), and human-computer interaction.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book goes beyond general principles and offers practical insights into specific medical device domains. It explores challenges and solutions related to robotic surgery, laparoscopic surgery, artificial organs, wearables, continuous glucose monitors, insulin pumps, and reprocessing. By integrating human factors research and design methods into a human factors design lifecycle, readers are equipped with the knowledge and tools to create medical devices that prioritize safety, effectiveness, and user-friendliness.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFurthermore, the book addresses the role and responsibilities of regulatory agencies in medical device design, shedding light on the stringent regulations and procedures that govern this field. It provides guidance on what human factors activities should be conducted when and how they should be documented, ensuring compliance and safeguarding patient health.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis hands-on professional reference is an invaluable resource for students and practitioners in HFE, biomedical engineering, industrial design, graphic design, user-experience design, quality engineering, product management, and regulatory affairs. It equips readers with the knowledge and skills necessary to design medical devices that are not only technologically advanced but also prioritize the well-being and comfort of users.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e                            \u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 752g                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 165 x 243 x 30 (mm)                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9783030644321                            \u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eEdition number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1st ed. 2021                          \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Russell J.
