Scope

YY/T 1934-2025 is the English-translated version of 骨科植入物及手术器械的人因设计要求与测评方法.

YY/T 1934 applies human factors engineering to orthopaedic hardware. It sets the terms and definitions, the human factors design requirements and the evaluation methods for orthopaedic implants and orthopaedic surgical instruments. Usability standards are usually written for devices with screens, but an orthopaedic system is used under time pressure with gloved hands in a sterile field, where instrument handling, tray organisation, implant sizing and the sequence a system imposes on the surgeon decide whether the right component ends up in the right place. Making that assessable rather than anecdotal is what the standard is for. It is one of the few documents anywhere to address human factors in orthopaedics specifically. For a manufacturer of implant systems and their instrument sets for China, this is the reference for the usability file.

Human factors design requirements and Evaluation Method

1 Scope

YY/T 1934 applies human factors engineering to orthopaedic hardware. It sets the terms and definitions, the human factors design requirements and the evaluation methods for orthopaedic implants and orthopaedic surgical instruments. Usability standards are usually written for devices with screens, but an orthopaedic system is used under time pressure with gloved hands in a sterile field, where instrument handling, tray organisation, implant sizing and the sequence a system imposes on the surgeon decide whether the right component ends up in the right place. Making that assessable rather than anecdotal is what the standard is for. It is one of the few documents anywhere to address human factors in orthopaedics specifically. For a manufacturer of implant systems and their instrument sets for China, this is the reference for the usability file.

This document specifies the human factors design and evaluation of orthopedic implants and orthopedic surgical instruments (hereinafter referred to as "orthopedic implants and surgical instruments"). Terms and definitions, human factors design requirements, human factors assessment methods, etc. This document applies to orthopedic implants and surgical instruments.

Note. For the human factors design requirements for orthopedic implant boxes/surgical instrument boxes, see Appendix A.

3 Terms and definitions

The following terms and definitions apply to this document.

3.1 Orthopedic implants Implanted in whole or in part by surgery (permanent or temporary) to assist in the repair of bones/related tissues, temporarily Or a medical device that permanently replaces the function of bone/related tissue.

3.2 Orthopedic surgical instrumentssurgicalinstruments Medical devices that participate in and assist the process of orthopedic implants being placed into the human body during surgery.

3.3 Human factors design Through the study of human behavior needs, functional needs, and operational capabilities, we can rationally design orthopedic implants and surgical instruments. Design, so as to achieve the purpose of functional recovery, safety, comfort and efficiency.

3.4 Perform validation testing of human factors design for orthopedic implants and surgical instruments.

4 General requirements for human factors design

4.1 General requirements for human factors design of orthopedic implants The general requirements for human factors design of orthopedic implants are as follows:

a) Osteosynthesis implants should be compatible with the patient's bone tissue structure;

b) Spinal implants should be compatible with the patient's spinal tissue structure;
