The medical and pharmaceutical sector is where translation accuracy meets regulatory compliance — and the stakes could not be higher. A mistranslation in an IFU, a labelling error, or an inconsistency in a clinical document can delay approval, trigger a recall, or worse.
Our medical and pharmaceutical clients range from manufacturers of medical devices to pharmaceutical companies, contract research organisations, and healthcare providers. We have been translating medical content for this sector since 1997, covering:
Italian medical translation happens within a regulatory environment that is shaped by both Italian national requirements and the broader EU framework — including the Medical Device Regulation (MDR) and the In Vitro Diagnostic Regulation (IVDR). We are familiar with the expectations these frameworks place on documentation and on the language it is written in, and we have worked with clients who need their documentation to stand up to regulatory scrutiny.
If you are preparing documentation for the Italian market — or for any market where Italian-language accuracy matters — we would be glad to discuss your project. We work with terminology, we flag issues early, and we treat every medical translation as if it were going to be read by someone whose health depends on it.
Accuracy, consistency and diligence are vital requirements when it comes to rendering medical, pharmaceutical or healthcare-related texts into another language. Though medical device terminology can often appear to be straightforward — with deceivingly simple one-to-one correspondences — the lingo of suche texts is a much less obvious matter, as it requires a deep-rooted knowledge of both source and target language and a hard-earned expertise in this field of translation. Translating instrumentation manuals, user guides and daily guides, instructions for use, control and reagent leaflets and package inserts requires a combination of medical and pharmaceutical competence and technical and technological expertise. Our continued work in this field and our constantly expanding knowledge in specific topics allow us to produce results that are in keeping with each of our clients’ requirements.
