进行了人为因素评价，以告知医院采购决策，选择通用输液泵在医院范围内使用。来自不同供应商的三台输注泵参与了评价，包括两个阶段：根据几个标准对泵进行人为因素启发式评估，以及在五个临床领域进行用户测试。临床领域包括：肿瘤科、内科/外科、儿科、ICU和麻醉科。14名护士和3名麻醉师参与了用户测试。在两个评价阶段的结果之间观察到合理的一致性，总体结果明显有利于其中一种输注泵。建议在采购医疗器械时进行人为因素评估，以影响所有医院的采购决策，确保为最终用户选择最佳器械，并最终提高患者安全性。© 2004 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
A human factors evaluation was conducted to inform hospital procurement decision-making in selecting a general-purpose infusion pump to be used hospital-wide. Three infusion pumps from different vendors were involved in the evaluation, which consisted of two phases: a human factors heuristic assessment of the pumps according to several criteria, and user testing in five clinical areas. The clinical areas were: Oncology, Medical/Surgical, Pediatric, ICU, and Anaesthesiology. Fourteen nurses and three anaesthetists participated in the user testing. Reasonable agreement was observed between results of both phases of the evaluation, and overall results clearly favoured one of the infusion pumps over the others. It is recommended that a human factors evaluation should be performed to influence all hospital procurement decisions when purchasing medical devices, to ensure the best devices are selected for the end users and to ultimately enhance patient safety. © 2004 Elsevier Inc.
