Summary

Medical devices are designed and manufactured by subjective design process that was only based on engineers' direct concepts to essential principles sets for the device. A home user may not easily use or operate the piece of medical device through the interfacing components as the designer's expected such as the meaning when pushing a button or switching a knob, even the required procedure needed when a certain display shown to fulfill some knowledge dependent judgment. In addition, the incompatible interfacing designed communication between a user and the device may cause possible errors that may trigger further negative consequences during the use of the device to a innocent home user.

The aim of this research is to closely understand the consequent results of human factor engineering or usability engineering practices of various types or models of marketed home-use blood pressure monitors (BPM) in real use.
