Human Factors & Industrial Design

Our team of degreed Human Factors Engineers and Industrial Designers work together to ensure that even the most complex device is developed for safe and optimal use. 

The FDA requires that usability be a key consideration throughout the development process, from the documentation of user needs to final validation study.  Guidelines such as HE75 and IS0 62366 have been adopted in an industry-wide effort to minimize use-related hazards.
 
At Ximedica, an Industrial Designer is assigned to every product to ensure that user interfaces and touch points provide the function and safety that is appropriate for intended users and use environments.

Working in conjunction with these designers are Human Factors Engineers to create the statistical basis needed to demonstrate that correct steps have been taken and use error mitigated. Our Cross Phase Usability File summarizes user needs, studies, and tests into a single document, providing an executive summary level overview of the multiple phases in the product development process.

We design devices that are not just safe but also exceptional to use, a critical combination for success in today’s competitive market.
