MEDICAL DEVICE TRANSLATION

Medical Devices Manufacturer Translates IFUs into 12 Languages

ABOUT PROJECT

A global medical devices manufacturer needed instructions for use (IFUs) translated for a wide product range from syringes and stents to transducers, infusion systems, and endoscopic tools.

With regulatory approvals and patient safety on the line, accuracy and speed were critical. They turned to us for what became one of our largest medical device translation projects to date.

The problem

The manufacturer’s extensive product line required complex, highly technical translations across a dozen languages.

Each IFU had to be translated by linguists with proven expertise in medical devices and then quality-checked before publication.

With hundreds of products to manage, the challenge was scale, accuracy, and speed; all while meeting regulatory requirements for multiple markets.

Our solution

We immediately tapped into our database of over 2,000 highly vetted linguists to find specialists with medical device expertise and target-language proficiency.
Each translation team was paired with dedicated proofreaders to resolve misunderstandings and maintain consistency. 

Our project managers monitored progress closely, communicating directly with the manufacturer, linguists, and proofreaders to ensure alignment. 

Post-translation, our QA team and desktop publishing specialists polished the IFUs, ensuring both compliance and usability.
