Purpose: This study will focus on the human, medical devices and human-computer interactions to analyze the medical devices incidents. Based on the analysis result, this study will suggest the mechanism of medical devices incidents and the countermeasure methods. Approach: In this study, we summarize the mechanism of medical devices incidents through the analysis and research on the cases of medical devices incidents. Mechanism of medical devices incidents will consider the error-process, error-factors and the operating environments. The consideration point is the human, medical devices and human-computer interactions. Based on the explored mechanism of medical incidents, this study will establish the countermeasures through eliminating the error-factors of medical devices incidents. Methods to establish the countermeasures will consider the characteristics of human, features of operating environment and medical devices. In order to ensure the countermeasure``s effect, the countermeasure ideal is by improving the features of operating environment and operating devices to cater human``s characteristics. Findings: Through this study we will present following two: (l) Propose the general mechanism which can summarize the incidents of medical devices, (2) Propose the countermeasures which based on the mechanism and can solve the practical problems. Value of paper: Three aspects of human, devices and the interaction caused the medical devices incidents. In the past research on the medical devices, one or two aspects are considered, but a few of research combine the three aspects. To consider the three aspects and propose the useful mechanism and countermeasure method is one of the value of this paper. Using the practical case to propose scientific result and to solve the practical medical problems is also the value of this paper.
