Clear, compliant information for medical device products

The translation of information related to the production, distribution, and use of medical and IVD devices is essential for companies that serve global populations—and it presents several challenges. Translating information for medical and IVD companies requires not only linguistic skills but a deep understanding of the industry and highly specialised regulatory knowledge.

For more than 30 years, RWS Life Sciences has been a trusted partner to medical and IVD companies, offering ISO-certified multilingual solutions and translation services in more than 330 language variants. Our decades of dedicated partnerships have led to a deep understanding of the industries in which our clients operate.

Expert services for medical device and IVD companies

RWS’ global team of account managers, project managers, tested linguists, reviewers, terminologists, linguistic engineers, solution architects, and subject matter experts have deep translation, localisation, and regulatory experience.

We can deliver your translated multilingual content quickly, correctly, and in compliance with the Medical Device Regulation 2017/745 (MDR) and In Vitro Diagnostics regulation 2017/746 (IVDR) in all target markets.

We understand that our clients need to work with a partner that has extensive industry experience, can deliver a team of highly specialised translators who are both linguistic and subject matter experts, and can provide insights and validation regarding the regulations that govern the development and trade of medical devices worldwide.

In addition, RWS knows that high-quality, compliant content is critical for your work at every stage of the value chain, from research and development (R&D) to production to patient engagement. To complement our linguistic work, we offer a full suite of consulting, engineering, and business intelligence services.
