Can a component supplier's safety testing replace any part of the finished device's usability assessment?
The Terms of Use state that a test of C-POLAR material, a component, or a prototype does not establish the performance of a finished product that incorporates it, and that construction, processing, storage, wear, cleaning, other components, and actual use may change the result.
They also state: “Use evidence, specifications, instructions, and warnings specific to the actual finished product and use.” The Terms of Use state: “A prospective partner or manufacturer must perform its own testing, validation, compatibility work, safety review, risk review, and quality controls for its proposed product and use.” A usability assessment is made on the finished product, with its own users, and no material test replaces any part of it.
The company publishes no usability study, no comprehension test and no record of instructions tried with first-time users.
