1. Intended use
Define what your product does and for whom. Intended use connects design requirements, claims, evidence, labeling, and regulatory strategy.
Start with this formula
[Product] intended for [medical action] in [population] for [condition], used by [user] in [environment].
Example: A portable device intended for non-invasive monitoring of muscle activity using surface electromyography in adults and adolescents during physical rehabilitation, used by physiotherapists in clinics and therapy centers.
Decisions to resolve
- What medical action does it perform, and for which condition?
- For which population, by which user, and in which environment?
- Which claims can you support with evidence?
“Innovative technology that improves health” does not define an intended use. Avoid promising benefits you cannot yet demonstrate.
