Medical Device Translation Solutions for the Life Sciences Industry

Within the life sciences, medical device translation comprises one of the most quickly growing areas of localization, as world markets furnish new opportunities for growth that also entail complex regulatory pathways manufacturers must navigate across languages. With criteria that vary at the level of economic unions, continents, and nations, bringing medical devices to market overseas requires a well-planned localization strategy with support from a qualified language service provider (LSP) that can offer the local in-country linguistic resources and regulatory knowledge needed to succeed.

The medical device sector (also known as the medical technology industry) focuses on medical technologies used to treat, diagnose, and prevent diseases, encompassing a range of machines, devices, and apparatuses. For medical devices to gain regulatory approval and compete in overseas markets, and to prevent unnecessary patient deaths, documentation such as instructions for use (IFU) and package inserts and labels must be translated accurately and consistently. It is essential that translations meet these requirements both within documents and relative to changing industry norms and standards in target markets, requiring the work of expert linguists with up-to-date knowledge of the field.
