Medical Devices & Diagnostics Translation

Regulation aware translations for medical device documentation, labelling and instructions for use.

We support medical device manufacturers, distributors and notified bodies with accurate, compliant translations.

Medical device content sits at the intersection of engineering, medicine and regulation. Instructions for use, packaging texts, software interfaces and clinical evaluation documents must be accurate and fully aligned with regulatory expectations. Our translators work with IFUs, labels, user manuals, risk management files and submission documentation across many device classes. They understand terminology used in MDR, IVDR and other regulatory frameworks and are used to working with controlled language and strict change control. This helps manufacturers reduce risk, improve user safety and streamline approvals in multiple markets.

Native, industry-experienced linguists ≥ 100 language pairs available

Typical documents we translate in Medical Devices.

Below are some of the common document types we handle for clients in this sector. If your materials are slightly different, share a sample and we will confirm the best workflow and turnaround times.

  • Instructions for use and quick reference guides
  • Device labels, packaging and carton text
  • Risk management and vigilance documentation
  • Clinical evaluation and performance reports
  • Regulatory and technical documentation
  • Software UI strings for diagnostic equipment

Typical challenges in Medical Devices localisation.

Every industry has its own terminology, stakeholder expectations and risk profile. We design our workflows around these realities so translations work in practice, not just on paper.

  • Handling strict regulatory terminology (FDA, EU MDR etc.).
  • Translating IFUs while preserving technical precision.
  • Ensuring patient safety through clear language.
  • Managing version control across device updates.

How a typical Medical Devices translation project works.

Whether you send a single document or a full campaign, we follow a structured workflow so you know exactly what will happen from first file to final delivery.

1 Scoping "no-surprise" quote
Share your files, deadlines and any previous translations. We confirm scope, language combinations and any specific instructions before work starts.
2 Industry-specialised translation
Your materials are assigned to native linguists with relevant sector experience, supported by termbases, style guides and reference materials.
3 Review, QA & delivery
A second linguist reviews the translations, our team performs final QA checks, and we deliver in your preferred format or directly into your systems where required.

Different industries require different workflows. For this sector, we focus on accuracy, traceability and confidentiality at every stage while still keeping the process simple for your internal teams.

Medical Devices & Diagnostics Translation Workflow
1. Document mapping and markets list
We map all content types and target countries for your device portfolio.
2. Translation by device aware linguists
Linguists with medical and technical experience work on your files.
3. Review and terminology control
We keep terminology consistent across IFUs, labels and regulatory documents.
4. Change management support
We help track and apply updates as designs, indications or regulations evolve.

Quality assurance & review stages

For many projects we recommend a translation plus independent review workflow. For high-risk or high-visibility content, we can add an extra clarity and consistency stage.
