FDA Regulatory Requirements

Complying with the FDA’s stringent requirements for human factors studies demands in-depth expertise and a thorough understanding of regulatory standards.

Rigorous Study Design

FDA human factors studies must have a rigorous, predetermined study design prior to launching. The protocol must include full study details, including the sample design, study methodology, and plans for study implementation.

High Quality Data Analysis

Collecting and analyzing data for human factors studies requires sophisticated tools, advanced analytical capabilities, a solid grasp of statistical techniques, and a team with experience interpreting human factors data with an eye towards patient safety.
