Do you know the medical document translation and labeling requirements in the countries where you plan to sell your medical device? What about the difference between labels, labeling, PILs, and e-Labeling?
Regulatory authorities worldwide view medical device labeling as an integral part of the product itself. If you’re a medical device manufacturer with plans to distribute your products abroad, you need to be prepared to meet many different labeling requirements around the globe. Failure to do so can mean that your product is denied entry to a new market, or it can even cause dire, adverse consequences for your end-users.
Introducing a new device in a new market is a highly complicated process with many regulatory hurdles. Furthermore, the regulatory requirements for medical device labeling differ significantly based on the country or region, and understanding all of the regulations is an expensive, time-consuming burden that most companies can’t afford in-house. That’s why most medical device manufacturers rely on regulatory translation services companies to deliver accurate translation and labeling solutions that fit within their budget and workflow and comply with all local and cultural requirements.
With no room for error, medical device labeling translation affects manufacturing and delivery timelines, costs for manufacturers, and exposes medical professionals and their patients to varying levels of risk. To that end, it is critical to remember that these instructions promote the successful and safe use of medical devices globally. Accurate translations are more than an advantage – they’re a necessity.
