Our expert-led event will dive deep into IEC 62366-1's basic methodology, providing you with essential knowledge to seamlessly integrate Use Engineering into crucial aspects of your business, including R&D design control, risk management, validation, root cause analysis, CAPA / failure investigations, GMP auditing, and liability reduction.

Stay Compliant, Stay Ahead! Stay ahead of regulatory requirements by gaining comprehensive insights into IEC 62366-2's recommended implementation considerations, with a primary focus on IEC 62366-1. Don't miss this golden opportunity to ensure your products comply with the latest standards while enhancing user experience and safety.

The Secret to Success: Intuitive Product Use! Unlike risk management, Use Engineering isn't always a must, but its potential impact on product risk reduction, intuitive user experience, liability reduction, and recall prevention is undeniable. Embrace this powerful tool under design control and witness the transformation of your product development process.

WHY YOU SHOULD ATTEND:

Both the U.S. FDA and the EU's MDR mandate the consideration of Use Engineering / Human Factors Engineering for new or updated products. Don't let compliance become a stumbling block; instead, be proactive in evaluating your device's interface and empower your team to design products that users will love.

Harness the Full Potential of Use Engineering! Unravel the mystery behind the nine stages of Use Engineering, and learn how to provide foolproof documentation to demonstrate compliance. Equip your product engineers with the knowledge to refine designs for optimal usability, risk reduction, and customer satisfaction.
