State of the Science of Medical Device Labeling Warnings

Last Thursday, I led a 90-minute webinar on Warnings and Safety Information in Device Labeling, Part 1: A Primer on the Science for the AAMI University Distance Learning program. Topics included:

• Describing the purposes, parts, and pitfalls of warnings and safety information
• Reviewing the state of the science of warnings and safety information, specifically as it pertains to medical device labeling
• Examining how warnings and safety information development aligns with a typical usability engineering process
• Explaining why warnings and safety information are not always effective
• Discussing product liability challenges due to defective warnings and safety information

This week I will present Part 2 which will focus on medical device labeling design best practices. The webinar will be on November 10^th from 11:00 am – 12:30 pm EST. If you’re interested in participating, you can register for the webinar here.
