P1492HUMAN FACTORS TESTING OF THE QUANTA SC+: DEMONSTRATING EASE OF USE WITH MINIMAL UPFRONT TRAINING IN HEALTH CARE PRACTITIONERS AND PATIENTS
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract Background and Aims Quanta Dialysis Technologies has developed a compact, powerful personal haemodialysis system intended for home and self-care use designed in collaboration with patients and healthcare practitioners. Human factors testing is necessary to demonstrate ease of use with minimal up-front training. Method In compliance with FDA guidance and EU standards, the user interface of the system was evaluated through human factors testing to assess the safe and effective use of SC+. This included a series of user-based tasks whereby representative users independently setup SC+ into a simulated treatment, managed alarms to resolution and external SC+ cleaning/disinfection. All participants received an introduction to SC+ and completed a competency sign off at the end of training. 17 healthcare professionals (6 renal nurses, 8 dialysis technicians, 1 patient care technician) received up to 4 hours of structured training followed by a 1-day learning decay period. In addition, 10 lay users (8 dialysis patients, 2 caregivers) received between 5.5 and 7.5 hours training followed by a 2-day learning decay period. Results Between the two user groups, there were a total of 8,110 opportunities for use errors to occur. Despite minimal training and representative learning decay, only 4 significant use events were observed requiring some user manual enhancements. Other use errors captured were minor or could not be mitigated further due to clinical practices and shared inherent risks across all haemodialysis systems. Conclusion The results of the human factors testing demonstrated that healthcare practitioners, patients and caregivers successfully operated SC+ independently with a high level of use safety, despite minimal training and learning decay. The SC+ user interface is optimized for safe and effective use under FDA guidance and EU standards.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
