Management, 2000 - Draft Guidance for Industry and Food and Drug Administration Staff Applying . Human Factors and Usability Engineering to Optimize Medical Device Design, 2011 The HF process focused primarily on identifying and mitigating use-related risks to safe levels while also providing a user friendly product. For the 1S4000 system, an extensive HF process was followed documenting many user research, design iteration, and formative evaluations prior to usability validation testing. A summative usability validation study was conducted with 15 teams of users (surgeons and OR team). This study was conducted in a simulated OR and involved representative typical workflow scenarios as well as troubleshooting scenarios that involved safety-critical tasks. Training materials and user manuals were developed in concert with the product hardware and software, and were incorporated in the validation study. The study assessed the following: - ensure intended users could perform essential and high risk tasks in the expected t use environments in a safe and effective manner; - validate that use-related risks have been mitigated to acceptable levels of residual . risk; - assess the overall ease of use and usability of the IS4000 Surgical System; . - this study evaluated whether the design introduced any previously unknown use-. related risks. Fifteen surgeons from different surgical specialties (urology, gynecology, general surgery and thoracic) from novice (<20 cases) to very experienced (>200 cases) participated in the study. In addition, fifteen OR staff (5 circulating nurses, 9 scrub nurse/tech, and 1 physician's assistant) provided OR support during the sixteen study sessions. Each participant received one-half day of hands-on training prior to conducting testing. A simulated OR environment was provided to perform pre-operation set-up tasks (e.g., docking, draping, power on), intraoperative tasks (e.g., installing and activating instruments, instrument exchange, manipulating instruments), and post-operative tasks (e.g., undocking, cleaning, sorting for reprocessing). Data collected included both INTUITIVE SURGICAL® {14}------------------------------------------------ objective performance data and subjective feedback from participants. Objective performance data included observations of users' ability to complete tasks, use-errors, close calls, and any difficulties encountered. Subjective feedback included open-ended questions about risks and safety, multiple choice ratings, and follow-up interviews. The Model 1S4000 da Vinci Surgical System has been assessed and found to be safe and effective for its intended uses, by the intended users, in its intended use environment. The Human Factor engineering process, culminating in a usability validation study, was to identify and assess the use-related risks associated with the IS4000 Surgical System. The safety and usability of the IS4000 Surgical System was assessed to ensure residual risk is at acceptable levels, and that the use-safety of the system has not diminished in comparison to the IS3000 Surgical System. ### Summary: Based on the intended use, indications for use, technological characteristics and performance data, the Intuitive Surgical da Vinci Surgical System, Model IS4000, is substantially equivalent (SE) to the predicate device, the Intuitive Surgical da Vinci Si Surgical System, Model IS3000. This SE determination is based on bench testing including reliability testing, animal/cadaver validation, simulated clinical procedures in live animals, and Human Factors assessment. The bench/reliability testing verified that the design requirements and specifications for the new and/or changed components of the system are met. The animal/cadaver validation demonstrated the users' ability to use the system to accurately control the endoscopic instruments, to reach the necessary target anatomy, and to perform surgical tasks. The simulated clinical procedures in live animals provided clinical validation that the system can safely and effectively complete representative surgical procedures encompassed by the indications for use statement. Finally, the Human Factors assessment provided further assurance that risks due to user errors are identified and mitigated. This SE determination did not require clinical data for the following reasons: - The indications for use are within the scope of the predicate device (da Vinci . IS3000). - The changes to the device hardware and software were such that bench testing, . animal/cadaver validation, and simulated clinical procedures in live animals were adequate to establish SE to the predicate. This review did not compare human clinical performance between the IS4000 System to the IS3000 System. This review did not assess user training, although a training program was described as part of the human factors assessment. Finally, because there were no human clinical data, user learning curve was not assessed for the new model. 1 N T U I T I V E SURGICAL® {15}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/15/Picture/0 description: The image shows the logo for the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services.
