In the field of medicine, translation of user safety information for medical devices is required. Most major healthcare markets have strictly defined regulations for medical device translation for safety and operational procedures. But over the past decade, while we’ve been providing translation for medical device manufacturers, we’ve repeatedly seen a change in translation strategy among our clients. Medical device translation that begins as a burdensome requirement often becomes a strategic and profitable advantage in the pursuit of new markets and increased revenue.
Not only is good translation critical for the regulatory approval required to enter European and Asian markets, it also makes good economic sense. It is impossible for English-only products to reach their full potential in foreign markets if they are not localized. To successfully penetrate global markets your message must be translated for compliance, research, training and marketing purposes.
Clinitrans, the medical translation service of 1-800-Translate, provides translations for medical device manufacturers where speed, accuracy and regulatory compliance can have far-reaching ramifications. We use an ISO:13485-certified management process for regulatory compliance as an adjunct to our ISO:9001-certified QA management process for continuous quality improvement.
We bring 20 years of experience in translating for the life sciences, combining speed, accuracy and great customer experience in a service unique to the industry.
As translators, we think of good life science translation as the point of the scalpel. When it comes to medical devices, translation has to be right from the start. When translation is done properly, it:
But getting it right takes planning. We’ve seen again and again the hard lessons learned by firms that treat translation as an afterthought.
For global product development, there is a complex and burdensome web of regulations and marketing issues that must be resolved. When bringing a new device into the market, the successful medical device manufacturers we work with address translation planning in the earliest stages of development.
Our success is demonstrated by both the list of health service companies we have as current and former clients and an audited metric that confirms our first rank in client satisfaction in the North American translation industry, our Net Promoter Score.
At Clinitrans, because of our expertise and reputation, we’ve become trusted advisors to manufacturers beginning this complex process and other manufacturers who are looking for a new approach in tackling these types of challenges.
