About this study
Official title: Human Factors Validation Testing for Over-the-Counter Use of the Erchonia® LunulaLaser™ OTC
Human factors validation testing to assess the intended user's ability to correctly, safely, and effectively set-up, activate and operate the LunulaLaser™ OTC, to administer a treatment to a suitably qualified client, and to understand the information contained in the Erchonia LunulaLaser™ OTC Installation and Proper Use Reference Guide and box labeling.
Read the detailed description
This study is an uncontrolled simulated-use human factors validation testing design to assess the intended user's ability to correctly, safely, and effectively set-up, activate and operate the LunulaLaser™ OTC, to administer a treatment to a suitably qualified client, and to understand the information contained in the Erchonia LunulaLaser™ OTC Installation and Proper Use Reference Guide and box labeling.
The study design is comprehensive in scope and conducted in a manner such that the results will be able to be generalized to the actual intended user and client population under intended conditions of actual use and be adequately sensitive to capture use errors arising from either the user interface design and/or the instructional and informative materials. Study data will be collected in a manner that will facilitate analysis of the root causes of use errors or problems during the testing.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
LunulaLaser OTCDevice
The LunulaLaser™ OTC is a nonthermal and non-invasive procedure designed to restore the growth of clear, healthy nails in clients with onychomycosis.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| LunulaLaser OTC | Other | The user will be presented with the device in its intended packaging as if receiving it at their place of employment. No additional information, instruction or training will be provided by the Study Observer, or any other individual associated with the study. The user will be left to work out how to operate the Erchonia LunulaLaser™ OTC as independently and naturally as possible without interference or influence from the Study Observer. While the user will have received the instructional information in the packaging as in intended use, he or she will not be instructed to use any of the information. It will be up to the user as to if or how he or she chooses to use that information to set up operation of the device as would occur under actual conditions of intended use. Receives: Device: LunulaLaser OTC |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Human Factors
The outcome measure identifies the number of subject users that were defined as a study "pass".
A subject user is determined a study 'pass if the subject satisfactorily completes both the device setup and treatment procedure. If the subject user does not satisfactorily complete either one or both of device setup and/or treatment procedure the subject will be determined a study "fail".
Measured: Each study session was completed on a single day, for up to 120 minutes
