- Overview of FDA's New Human Factors Program Plan: .
- History of FDAs Involvement With Human Factors.
- The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has been engaged in human factors-related activities and projects to improve patient safety since 1975. ... Many of these performance and safety standards included human factors engineering design requirements. The need for a human factors design guideline for medical devices first became apparent to the Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) when Center staff worked with the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) Committee Z79 to write a standard for anesthesia gas machines. More than 80% of the requirements in that American National Standard related to human factors. Many of the human factors design requirements that ANSI Z79 had struggled to generate were applicable to more than just anesthesia gas machines and, unbeknownst to the committee, were already described in a military standard (MIL-STD-1472 Human engineering design criteria for military systems, equipment and facilities. ... Leslie Rendell-Baker, that he contact AAMI to propose establishing an AAMI Human Factors Committee to write a human factors design guideline for medical devices similar to the military standard. The ANSI/AAMI HE48-1993 guideline, Human factors engineering guidelines and preferred practices for the design of medical devices, was the result.
- Additionally, over the last 10 years, CDRH has commissioned a number of human factors studies of specific medical devices; assisted in the production of a number of educational films on human factors directed at the central venous catheters, hemodialysis, and anesthesia health care communities; written articles for the medical device trade press; and delivered lectures on human factors at manufacturer workshops. ...
- Focus on Human Factors.
- Human factors is not new to CDRH. What is new, however, is the Center's recent decision to focus more attention and resources on its human factors program. ...
- Poor human factors designs of devices is a significant contributing cause. ... In addition, many devices lack features known by human factors experts to be effective in protecting against or reducing the chance of error. ...
- CDRH is convinced that manufacturers must pay more attention to human factors at the earliest stages of product design and development, when user input can make a difference. ...

- (MSDs) and Workplace Factors.
- Work-Related Musculoskeletal Disorders and Psychosocial Factors .
- Individual Factors Associated with Work-Related Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs).
- Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) were recognized as having occupational etiologic factors as early as the beginning of the 18th century. However, it was not until the 1970's that occupational factors were examined using epidemiologic methods, and the work-relatedness of these conditions began appearing regularly in the international scientific literature. ... Yet, the relationship between MSDs and work-related factors remains the subject of considerable debate.
- Musculoskeletal Disorders and Workplace Factors: A Critical Review of Epidemiologic Evidence for Work Related Musculoskeletal Disorders of the Neck, Upper Extremity, and Low Back will provide answers to many of the questions that have arisen on this topic over the last decade. This document is the most comprehensive compilation to date of the epidemiologic research on the relation between selected MSDs and exposure to physical factors at work. On the basis of our review of the literature, NIOSH concludes that a large body of credible epidemiologic research exists that shows a consistent relationship between MSDs and certain physical factors, especially at higher exposure levels.
- This second printing of Musculoskeletal Disorders and Workplace Factors: A Critical Review of Epidemiologic Evidence for Work-Related Musculoskeletal Disorders of the Neck, Upper Extremity, and Low Back incorporates a number of editorial changes, including grammar, formatting, and consistency issues that were identified in the first printing.
- The conclusions of the document in terms of decisions regarding the weight of the existing epidemiologic evidence for the relationship between workplace factors and musculoskeletal disorders remain unchanged. ...
- Appendix C was added to the document to provide a concise overview of the studies reviewed relative to the evaluation criteria, risk factors addressed, and other issues.
- The purpose of this NIOSH document is to examine the epidemiologic evidence of the relationship between selected MSDs of the upper extremity and the low back and exposure to physical factors at work. Specific attention is given to analyzing the weight of the evidence for the strength of the association between these disorders and work factors. ...
- Because the relationship between exposure to physical work factors and the development and prognosis of a particular disorder may be modified by psychosocial factors, the literature about psychosocial factors and the presence of musculoskeletal symptoms or disorders is also reviewed. ...
- The goal of epidemiologic studies is to identify factors that are associated (positively or negatively) with the development or recurrence of adverse medical conditions. ... The document also reviews studies that have dealt with work-related back pain and that address the way work organizational and psychosocial factors influence about the relationship between exposure to physical factors and work-related MSDs. ...
