Instructions for Medical devices

Medical devices are complex to handle on their own, so it needs an instruction manual to handle them safely.

Hence it is considered a part of the user’s life.  Good instruction must speak to the user, teach the learner and also guide the freshers. Instructions are framed according to the targeted audience and also to the types of equipment. Common instructions are not suitable for all the materials. Suitable instructions must be given according to the field of research and users.

Design Usable Instructions

Instructions should be very short and crisp to understand. Present the action one by one in steps so that it is easier to follow. It has to give the expected result, it gives a prominence among the users. Start with negatives like Don’t and Avoid eg: Don’t Switch on before fitting. Instructions must help in identifying the risk and consequences of the result. Abbreviations should not be used. Provide necessary images to have an outlook on the types of equipment.

Effective texts are used for reading and simple language is used for understanding. It helps the participants to perform the functions step by step to complete the process of working.

Instruction for computers

It is designed by a system language it performs with the help of codes. All the operations are done with the help of a specific code. It has a specific address field to find out the location and memory. Mode helps in specifying the operand. There are 3 types of instruction codes.

Memory- reference instruction

It uses 12 bits of memory and one for “I”, the addressing mode.

Register- Reference Instruction

It is insisted by the operation code 111 and 0 in the 15 leftmost bit of instruction. It is specially designed for the accumulator register.

Input-Output instructions

It also followed by 111 code with 1 in the leftmost bit of instruction. The remaining 12 bits are used for testing purposes. The codes ranging from 12 to 14 should be equal to 111, then the control unit inspects the bit in position 15.

It also needs arithmetic, logic and shifts instructions. Moving instructions are needed from memory and process register. It also checks the status that is the condition of the input and output instructions. It acts as an intermediator of computer and user.
