“…Satisfaction in use, which is the third metric of the usability, was measured in six studies [7,68,74,76,80,82,83]. However, only three of these studies [68,80,83] considered all the necessary factors to enable a satisfactory report about the usability of the device, while all other studies have measured, predominantly, the perceived use, usefulness or satisfaction in use of the device. (iii) Expectations and reactions variables were marginally included in two studies [75,84] in which researchers, by aiming to assess the acceptance and comparison of different versions of a device, also gathered data through scales, about people preferences after the use of the device.…”

“…after three months. While only in four cases [68,79,80,83] did researchers directly gather data about people performance -in terms of time, and errors in use/reading the results etc. This is a key step to measure efficacy and effectiveness dimensions of usability [42].…”

“…Although many studies were carried out by questionnaires, none of the reviewed studies referenced a validated instrument, or built assessment scales on the basis of available questionnaires in literature. Moreover, only in 7 of the 19 cases were the set of questions applied in the study made available [7,64,65,68,74,75,83].…”

Use of in-vitro point of care devices -intended as tests performed out of laboratories and near patient -is increasing in clinical environments. International standards indicate that interaction assessment should not end after the product release, yet human factors methods are frequently not included in clinical and empirical studies of these devices. Whilst the literature confirms some advantages of bed-side tests compared to those in laboratories there is a lack of knowledge of the risks associated with their use. This article provides a review of approaches applied by clinical researchers to model the use of in-vitro testing. Results suggest that only a few studies have explored human factor approaches. Furthermore, when researchers investigated peopledevice interaction these were predominantly limited to qualitative and not standardised approaches. The methodological failings and limitations of these studies, identified by us, demonstrate the growing need to integrate human factors methods in the medical field.

“…It has been estimated that nearly half of MMH tasks common at workplaces demand pushing and pulling exertions (Lee & Granata, 2006). In addition to 2 manufacturing workers, other occupations that demand pushing and pulling types of exertions on a daily basis include health care (Waters, Nelson, & Proctor, 2007;Seto, et al, 2006;Das & Wimpee, 2002), fire fighting (Gledhill & Jamnik, 1992), flight and rail catering (Glitsch, et al, 2007;Schaub, et al, 2007;Jäger, et al, 2007), postal distribution (Hoozemans, et al, 2007;Hoozemans, et al, 2004;van der Beek, et al, 2000), refuse collection (Schibye, Søgaard, et al, 2001;Frings-Dresen, Kemper, Stassen, Markslag, et al, 1995;Frings-Dresen, Kemper, Stassen, Crolla, et al, 1995), construction ) and garden raking (Kumar, 1995), retail, storage, and warehousing (Kumar, Narayan, & Bacchus, 1995).…”

I also wish to acknowledge my doctoral program coordinator, Dr. Gary Winn, who has helped me a lot during my long journey in the program of occupational safety and health. I would also like to thank the department chair, Dr. Wafik Iskander, for his generous financial support for my teaching assistantship. I would also like to thank my colleagues in the Ergonomics Laboratory, in particular Christopher Moore, for his assistance in the experimental setup part of this study. Many thanks to all the people I have known at West Virginia University, whose friendship I will always treasure. Finally, I want to express my gratitude to my beloved parents, elder brother, sister-in-law and two lovely nieces, for their patience, support, and understanding during this difficult period of time. iv
