Medical Devices Translation Life Cycle II: To-Market and Post-Market Regulatory Requirements

Medical device translation not only requires expert medical and linguistic knowledge, but also an understanding of the strict industry standards and regulatory framework. In a sector that is undergoing constant technological advancements, even the definition of a “medical device” continues to expand – now even including software, in vitro reagents and tissue engineered medical products.


In part II of this presentation, we will delve into to-market translation materials, such as website content, internal and sales training materials (including e-learning) as well as manufacturing documentation and SOPs. Finally, we will address post-market requirements, including post-market clinical follow-up (PMCF) documentation field safety notices (FSN) and regulations on medical device disposal, recycling and waste prevention.



Training program:

- The to-market and post-market medical device lifecycles
- Internal vs. external communications and requirements
- Training materials for a digital world
- Understanding new waste, recycling and disposal requirements and language
- Translation resources
- Terminology strategies
