What is Medical Device Translation?
Medical device translation is the specialized process of accurately translating Instructions for Use (IFUs), labels, e-labels, software, packaging, and regulatory documentation into multiple languages to meet international compliance requirements and ensure patient safety.
This type of translation goes beyond words. It demands deep knowledge of medical terminology, ISO 13485 standards, MDR/IVDR regulations, and country-specific labeling laws. Errors in translation can lead to regulatory delays, product recalls, or harm to end users.
A trusted medical device translation partner ensures:
- Linguistic and regulatory accuracy
- Fast approvals from global health authorities
- Clear, compliant documentation for global markets
Whether you're preparing for EU MDR submissions or launching devices across Asia or LATAM, medical device translation is essential for market access and brand integrity.
Why Accuracy Matters in Regulatory Submissions (MDR/IVDR)
Inaccurate translations in MDR (Medical Device Regulation) or IVDR (In Vitro Diagnostic Regulation) submissions can delay product approvals, trigger costly rework, or even result in market rejections and recalls.
Under MDR and IVDR, the European Union requires precise, harmonized, and localized documentation in each target market’s official language. This includes:
Even minor translation errors can lead regulators to question product safety, device performance, or manufacturer reliability—jeopardizing your path to compliance.
Working with expert medical device translators ensures:
- Full alignment with EU language requirements
- Clear, consistent terminology across all documents
- Fewer regulatory challenges and faster time-to-market
Accuracy isn’t optional—it’s critical for MDR/IVDR success.
