FUROSCIX was designed to make at-home administration possible for all appropriate patients with minimal preparation and steps. In a human factor validation study, FUROSCIX and the Instructions for Use were understood and effectively used by the intended populations.1*
60 participants (30 patients with heart failure, 15 caregivers, and 15 healthcare professionals) were recruited and completed the study. Of the 30 patients, 15 were trained and 15 were untrained. All other participants were untrained.1
*
Trained participants attended a walk-through of the Instructions for Use conducted by healthcare professionals. Participants performed all tasks the following day. Patients were representative of the intended user population in terms of age, gender, ethnicity, and education. Untrained participants attended a single study session where they were given as much time as needed to familiarize themselves with the On-Body Infusor and Instructions for Use. No education or training was provided.
