Ergonomics – the science of designing equipment and devices that fit the human body – is increasingly important to the healthcare industry. Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) draft guidance, “Applying Human Factors and Usability Engineering to Optimize Medical Device Design,” recommends the use of appropriate human factors analysis, testing and validation during the design phase of medical devices to reduce user-related hazards and errors.

Normally, the most effective person to answer your question or deal with your concern is your supervisor or human resources representative. If you become aware of or suspect a violation of the Code, report it to your supervisor, human resources representative or the Corporate Ethics Officer at Ethics.Officer@Avient.com. Both parties in this type of relationship must notify their supervisor and human resources manager immediately so that alternatives and consequences can be discussed.
