Abstract: Human factors simulated-use studies provide a valuable tool for evaluating the usability and safety of medical devices, including combination products such as inhalers, injection devices, and transdermal patches. Through human factors studies, researchers evaluate how users and devices perform in low-frequency high-risk situations that may not occur in controlled clinical trials. This article provides an overview of the role of human factors testing in combination product development as well as how human factors studies complement traditional clinical trials in establishing safety and efficiency in drugs and devices.
