Product and Packaging Usability Studies
What are Product and Packaging Usability Studies?
- The developers of medical devices take great care to ensure that their devices will be of benefit to the patient, and that the clinician finds the devices easy to use. It is Anecto's experience however that developers should also focus on the needs of the Operating Room staff in the development of product packaging in order to ensure the intended deployment of the device.
- By using products in a simulated real world environment we can ascertain how to bring about optimum usability. Our approach is to examine all aspects of product packaging, from the ease of name recognition to packaging efficacy. Our overall goal is to guarantee a product that is easy to use.
What are the potential implications for your company?
- Unexpected failures in a real world environment, such as the device falling on to the floor upon opening the packaging, can have serious negative consequences for your company. Continued failure of your packaging will cause customers to avoid your product leading to decreased sales and loss to competition. Through our consultancy we can offer feasible solutions to help eliminate these failures.
What can Anecto offer you?
- Anecto can simulate Operating Room processes and procedures for your product and its packaging. We can simulate the opening of the packaging, the deployment of the device and its use on patients, as well as the disposal of the device and packaging.
- Anecto can provide experienced personnel to 'role-play' the Operating Room staff in the simulation of clinical deployment. We have also established formal relationships with a teaching hospital and academic institutes to establish simulation facilities. Anecto can utilise these resources or facilities of your choice for the simulated use trials.
