The Objective

Execution is where the "Guide" philosophy of Kapstone becomes tangible. Our industrial design and UI/UX team ensures that the physical and digital interfaces are intuitive, safe, and professional. We believe that a well-designed device reduces user anxiety and improves clinical outcomes.

Key Considerations

  • Physical Ergonomics: We design for the human hand. From surgical instrument balance and grip texture to the weight distribution of a handheld diagnostic, our engineering team prioritizes long-term comfort and precision.
  • Digital Interface & Software (SaMD/SiMD): We create digital displays that prioritize "information hierarchy." By emphasizing critical data and minimizing clutter, we reduce the cognitive load on the user and prevent software-related use-errors.
  • Labeling and IFU Design: The Instructions for Use (IFU) are a critical part of the user interface. We design labeling and quick-start guides that are easy to read and follow under pressure, serving as a primary risk control for the device.

FAQ

What are the FDA requirements for medical device labeling and UI?

FDA requirements for labeling and UI (21 CFR Part 801) mandate that information be "prominent and conspicuous." From a Human Factors perspective, this means the interface must be designed to minimize use-errors through intuitive controls, clear warnings, and legible displays that do not require excessive training for safe operation.
