Therefore, theyre easy to be injured by sharp glass pieces, it appears to be one of main occupational hazard for nurses. Furthermore, it will lower effiency on treatment and quality on patient care. Target of this research: (1) Through the assistance of the user enabling designers to think about the problem and find out the existing demand, while the reference basis for the design study. (2) Discussion on how to break ampoules safely and easily, and then design ampoule opener suitable for clinical nurses to use. (3) Usability evaluation carried out by the use of questionnaires and performance tests to verify the results, and proposed design guidelines and recommendations. Discussion ampoule opener of the current situation at early stage of the research. And product positioning from one size fits all, easy to dispose and low price. Development of design proposals after the aperture most appropriate test to break ampoules, in order to provide the user actually try out and evaluate operating performance and design elements as summarized with security, labor-saving, easy to dispose, intuition, operability, grip, versatility, portability and aesthetics. Performed usability evaluation after the test results using the design finalized model, barehanded and commercial ampoule opener. And integrated analysis of whether this design goal has been reached through the use of local perceived discomfort assessment. The experiment results show that improved design of this study has been reached nine functional particular purpose. Efficiency and satisfaction meet the objectives of the design. This research will transform the users evaluation at the design main element. And import the product development process into design application mode. Follow-up research design can refer to this method is recommended.
