Why Rapport International Is the Best Translation Partner for Medical Device Companies

Written by Guest Blogger | July 26, 2025

Expanding globally in the medical device industry requires more than just product innovation. It demands flawless communication, absolute regulatory precision, and deep cultural understanding. When lives are on the line, and regulatory bodies are watching, there's no room for error in your translations.

That’s why medical device companies choose Rapport International.

Regulatory Precision Is Non-Negotiable

Medical device companies face strict documentation requirements across markets: FDA submissions, EU MDR compliance, ISO 13485 documentation, and more. One small mistranslation in an Instruction for Use (IFU) or package insert can delay approvals, damage your brand, or even endanger patients.

Rapport International delivers:

  • Expert human translation by industry-specialized linguists

  • Adherence to ISO 17100 and ISO 13485 standards

  • Terminology management and consistency checks

Our teams understand the exact phrasing regulatory bodies expect—because we've done it before, successfully, many times.

Cultural and Linguistic Nuance Matters

AI-generated or low-cost translations often miss the mark, especially with medical terminology that doesn't map 1:1 across languages. Rapport uses professional, in-country linguists who grasp the linguistic and cultural nuances vital to patient safety and legal clarity.

We ensure:

  • Contextually accurate terminology

  • Region-specific phrasing

  • Cultural sensitivity in patient-facing materials

Every translation is reviewed and validated for local relevance.

Deep MedTech Expertise

We’re not generalists. Our translators and project managers specialize in:

  • Instructions for Use (IFUs)

  • Device labeling and packaging

  • Clinical trial documentation

  • Regulatory filings and submissions

  • Website and digital content

We serve medtech clients across the U.S., Europe, and Asia with unmatched consistency, reliability, and compliance.

Fast, Seamless Global Launches

When time-to-market matters, Rapport helps you scale efficiently. We assign dedicated teams who learn your brand, voice, and documentation style, and we manage complex multilingual projects with ease.

You get:

The People-First Difference

We believe translation is personal. Rapport International is built around human relationships, trust, and collaboration. Unlike faceless agencies or AI-only solutions, we provide continuity, care, and responsiveness.

That’s why our medtech clients stay with us for years—often decades.
