MEDICAL/SURGICAL DEVICES & SUPPLIES

The content accompanying medical devices may consist of software, instructions, packaging, labels, or other kinds of related materials. What is critical in any medical device translation is to faithfully and accurately reproduce the original meaning, providing clear instructions to the intended audience, whether this includes medical professionals, technical users, or patients. This, in turn, will guarantee that the equipment is used correctly, safely, and as intended by the manufacturer. Compliance with international standards and the regulatory framework is also of vital importance in order to take your products global.

In our long history of providing translations for the life sciences sector, we have successfully localized medical device-related content for many different uses:

  • User manuals for medical devices

  • Instruction and installation manuals for medical devices

  • Technical manuals

  • Quick reference guides

  • Instructions for Use

  • Packaging and labeling

  • E-learning modules

  • Regulatory and compliance documentation

  • Software user interface and mobile apps

  • Marketing materials, brochures, newsletters and press releases

  • Websites

PHARMACEUTICALS

The most common challenges that pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies face are patient safety, regulatory compliance, and time to market. Our expert linguists and project managers can help you prepare your products for global markets throughout all stages of the product lifecycle, from regulatory approval to marketing, always keeping within your timeframe and budget.

CLINICAL TRIALS & RESEARCH

Clinical trial translations are highly complex and consist of a vast amount of documentation and accompanying materials, all of which must be localized within a set timeframe and to high standards. The work involves more than translation since additional services are often needed, such as linguistic validation, back translation, SME review, and readability testing, to name a few. Punctuality and quality are, of course, essential to meet the deadlines for regulatory submissions, but so is adherence to regulatory guidelines and international standards. Data security and patient engagement are two other important factors in this equation. Having worked on numerous clinical trial translation projects for some of the biggest clinical research organizations (CROs), we draw on this experience to provide you with a solid and thoroughly tested workflow that will guarantee flawless results on time and within budget.
