Figure2.3.26: DriverTesting of the unit was limited to simulated testing as the subjects of design arefictional. The volume of the auditory output was confirm as adequate byplacing a person of normal hearing across the room and ensuring that theycould comprehend what was being said.The tactile controls were tested by ensuring that they were easily activatedwithout using the muscles that control the fingers or hand. The action fortriggering the buttons and joystick was entirely from the wrist. This ensures thateven a person with moderate arthritis of the hands could operate the controlsadequately.3 Realistic ConstraintsHuman factors are the key to design constraints for any medical device. Thefinal device itself, must be limited and designed with the patients and/or user inmind. Constraints in engineering, economics, environmental, sustainability,manufacturability, ethical, health and safety, social, and political limitationsmust all be considered in the final development of the medical device; such asan infusion pump user-interface, before implementation on the market.96
