with Procept BioRobotics
Since 2018, LHF has provided Human Factors support to Procept BioRobotics on their AQUABEAM Robotic system. The system is the first and only image-guided, heat-free robotic therapy for the rapid removal of prostate tissue. 

We developed a robust UE strategy, conducted a gap analysis of Procept's usability documents, and ensured their HF/UE SOP and other documents aligned with the requirements of IEC 62366-1. As part of the latter, our team drafted multiple reports to document Procept's usability efforts, ensuring they would meet the FDA's (USA) regulatory expectations. Later, we assisted with the UFMEA development process before conducting a formative study of their system. 

The AQUABEAM system is now commercially used by urologists internationally, and we continue to support Procept BioRobotics with their ongoing HF needs. 

Additional Case Studies

Due to NDAs and MSAs, LHF is not able to provide full case studies for every project we've completed. The following case studies may have generalized device or company information, stock pictures, and/or media of prior generation products to avoid revealing proprietary details.
