Medical device translation is not the same as general technical translation. Device content must preserve technical meaning, regulatory intent, usability, safety information, and market-specific terminology across every language version.
Sesen supports medical device companies with translation and localization workflows designed for IFUs, labeling, software UI, risk information, training materials, regulatory documentation, and post-market communications where accuracy, consistency, and expert human review matter.
Why medical device translation requires specialized expertise
Technical precision
Product specifications, operating instructions, safety warnings, and device functionality must remain clear and consistent across languages.
Regulatory expectations
Labeling, IFUs, software content, and technical documentation often support regulated submissions, market access, and ongoing compliance.
Patient and user safety
Errors in instructions, risk information, dosage-related references, symbols, or warnings can create usability issues and safety concerns.
Market-specific terminology
Medical device language must reflect approved terminology, local conventions, product naming, and reviewer feedback across global markets.
Where clarity directly affects compliance and usability
A mistranslated IFU, unclear label, inconsistent UI string, or poorly adapted training instruction can affect how users understand and operate a device. Sesen brings regulated life sciences translation expertise to content where clarity, consistency, and traceability are essential.

Sesen supports IFU translation for medical devices with attention to accuracy, readability, terminology consistency, formatting, symbols, warnings, tables, diagrams, and regulatory alignment. Our workflows help device teams keep user-facing instructions clear while supporting global labeling and market requirements.
Labeling and packaging translation built for version control and market readiness
Device labeling translation covers labels, packaging, inserts, warnings, symbols, claims, precautions, and market-specific requirements. Sesen helps align multilingual labeling with approved terminology, source documentation, reviewer feedback, and version-controlled updates across markets.
Software localization for device UI, SaMD, digital health, and connected care
Sesen localizes software UI, embedded systems, patient apps, clinician dashboards, eCOA interfaces, digital health platforms, help content, and release materials. In-context review helps linguists evaluate language where users interact with the device or application.
Connected content requires connected terminology and review
IFUs, labels, software strings, training materials, and technical documentation often reuse the same product concepts in different formats. Sesen helps medical device teams maintain multilingual consistency across these connected assets through terminology management, translation memory leverage, expert review, and QA checks for completeness, formatting, numbers, and cross-document consistency.
Terminology, Translation Memory, and Version Control
Medical device content changes often. Labels are updated, IFUs are revised, software strings evolve, reviewer comments are incorporated, and regulatory requirements vary by market. Sesen helps device teams manage recurring multilingual updates with structured terminology, translation memory reuse, and controlled delta workflows.
Consistency across every device content touchpoint
A term used in an IFU may also appear in labeling, software UI, technical documentation, training content, and post-market communications. Sesen helps keep these terms aligned so multilingual content remains consistent across product families, languages, markets, and document versions.
