David,
Here's a link to a paper by Jiajie Zhang and others where they extend
heuristic evaluation and task analysis a bit with ideas from
distributed cognitive task theory (from earlier work by Zhang and Don
Norman) for the medical device domain; e.g. they analyze infusion pump

David - You can apply most, if not all, of the same heuristic
principles that you apply to a strictly UI analysis, but I would also
integrate key physical ergonomic factors like reach and posture.
Here's a quick description of those characterisitcs -
