[Ergonomic bases of improving the quality of military medical equipment]

The definitions for the concepts of quality of military medical equipment (MME) sample and quality indices are given. The general ergonomic indices of the sample quality are presented. The heterogeneity of elements of "medical specialist--military medical equipment--the wounded--environment" system is shown the successful synthesis of which requires the co-ordination of technical, constructive factors, characteristics of the sample and human (personal) factors of medical specialist. The ergonomic defects typical of MME samples are revealed and the ways to improve the ergonomic characteristics of MME samples are charted. Some ergonomic aspects to improve the MME sample quality are described.
