Usability Studies• Previous Issue:– Failure to accurately aspirate 1.0 mL (±5%) of solution– Related to patient/user performance – not auto-injectorfunctionality• Mitigation- Elcam instituted design change:– Dosing graduation line color was changed– Dosing graduation line thickness was enhanced• Elcam proposes to perform Summative Usability study:– Success of the design change mitigation– 60 devices operated by 10 participants (healthy and patients)– Comparison of usability to standard syringe (predicate device) andquantitative measurements18
Usability Study• Question to CDRH:Does the Agency agree that successful performance ofthe proposed summative usability study protocol, alongwith the two previous studies will be sufficient toestablish the usability of the device?• Agency answer:Never agrees… but accepted the overall approach.Asked to add clarifications to Risk Assessmentdocument, delay between training and trial injection,etc.19
