Our deliverables are structured for FDA 510(k)/PMA submissions, EU MDR technical files, and global regulatory authority reviews.
Formative Evaluation
Usability testing on medical devices evaluation is an iterative process to ensure improvements in device design and functionalities by evaluating and fixing the usability related issues during their development. The aim is to enhance user experience and make sure that the device is safe, effective, and user-friendly prior to moving on to the later stages of development or market release.
Summative Evaluation
Summative Evaluation is important in the later stages of medical device development. They focus on ensuring usability and performance of the device in real world conditions to establish whether the device meets the needs of the users and regulatory requirements.
Documentation Support
A Usability Engineering Plan outlines usability goals, target users, environments, methods, roles, and timelines to ensure consistency across the product lifecycle. It is supported by a Regulatory and Standards Gap Assessment, which reviews existing documentation against applicable regulations to identify gaps and recommend improvements. Together, these activities ensure both usability and compliance. All processes and outcomes are documented in the Usability Engineering File (UEF), which serves as evidence of meeting regulatory and usability requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions About Usability Testing
The most common questions about our usability testing services, methodologies, and engagement models.
What is usability testing and why is it important?
Usability testing is a user experience research method that evaluates a product by testing it with representative users. Participants attempt to complete typical tasks while observers watch, listen, and take notes. It is important because it identifies real user pain points, reduces development costs by catching issues early, improves customer satisfaction, increases conversion rates, and ensures regulatory compliance for industries like medical devices where IEC 62366 and FDA Human Factors standards apply. Studies consistently show that every dollar invested in usability testing returns between $10 and $100 in reduced development and support costs.
What is the difference between moderated and unmoderated usability testing?
While Algeria does not exclusively mandate CE marking by law, it is strongly preferred and often effectively required by regulatory authorities. The DPES closely aligns its classification and evaluation criteria with European Union medical device regulations. Devices that already hold valid CE marking certificates from EU Notified Bodies benefit from a significantly streamlined review process. Manufacturers without CE marking may face extended evaluation timelines and additional documentation requirements. In practice, most medical devices successfully entering the Algerian market carry CE certification.
How many participants do I need for a usability study?
Research by Jakob Nielsen shows that 5 participants uncover approximately 85% of usability issues. For qualitative studies, 5–8 participants per user segment is typically sufficient. For quantitative benchmarking, 20–30+ participants are recommended. Medical device summative studies (IEC 62366/FDA) generally require 15–25 participants per intended user group. Our researchers will recommend the optimal sample size based on your specific research objectives and statistical requirements.
Can you conduct usability testing remotely across different countries?
Absolutely. Remote usability testing is one of our core capabilities. We conduct moderated sessions via secure video conferencing and unmoderated studies using specialized testing platforms that work across time zones. Our global participant network spans 30+ countries including the US, UK, Germany, France, India, Canada, Australia, Japan, and more. We handle all recruitment, scheduling, language considerations, and GDPR/privacy compliance for international studies.
What is IEC 62366 usability engineering for medical devices?
IEC 62366-1 is the international standard for applying usability engineering to medical devices. It requires manufacturers to systematically analyze, design, verify, and validate the usability of their devices throughout the development lifecycle. This includes use specification, user interface analysis, formative evaluation during design, and summative validation testing before market release. The FDA also requires Human Factors validation through their guidance documents. NexorTest provides end-to-end IEC 62366 compliant usability engineering supporting submissions to the FDA, EU MDR Notified Bodies, and global regulators.
How long does a typical usability study take?
Timelines depend on study type and complexity. A rapid expert audit delivers results in 1–2 weeks. Standard moderated studies take 3–5 weeks including recruitment, testing, analysis, and reporting. Medical device usability engineering (IEC 62366) spans 2–4 months for formative studies and 1–3 months for summative validation. We offer expedited timelines for time-sensitive projects — ask about our fast-track options.
