Brief summary

Human factors validation testing to assess the intended user's ability to correctly, safely, and effectively set-up, activate and operate the LunulaLaser™ OTC, to administer a treatment to a suitably qualified client, and to understand the information contained in the Erchonia LunulaLaser™ OTC Installation and Proper Use Reference Guide and box labeling.

Detailed description

This study is an uncontrolled simulated-use human factors validation testing design to assess the intended user's ability to correctly, safely, and effectively set-up, activate and operate the LunulaLaser™ OTC, to administer a treatment to a suitably qualified client, and to understand the information contained in the Erchonia LunulaLaser™ OTC Installation and Proper Use Reference Guide and box labeling. The study design is comprehensive in scope and conducted in a manner such that the results will be able to be generalized to the actual intended user and client population under intended conditions of actual use and be adequately sensitive to capture use errors arising from either the user interface design and/or the instructional and informative materials. Study data will be collected in a manner that will facilitate analysis of the root causes of use errors or problems during the testing.
