Observing real users interacting with a medical device to identify where use errors are likely is the goal of human factors usability testing. By evaluating real user interaction, you gather insights that help redesign interfaces, labeling, and workflows so people can operate safely and effectively. This focus on preventing misuse and mistakes is why it’s prioritized over factors like manufacturing speed, power consumption, or color choices, which do not directly address safe, reliable use.
