Why Accurate Translation Matters for Healthcare Robotics

Accurate translation plays a critical role in the successful commercialization of healthcare, surgical, and life sciences robotics across global markets. Regulatory agencies such as the FDA, European authorities under MDR, and Japan’s PMDA require precise, consistent language in submissions, user manuals, and supporting documentation to grant market approvals. Inaccuracies in translation can lead to delays, rejections, or costly remediation efforts.

Beyond regulatory compliance, precise translation ensures that healthcare professionals can safely and effectively operate robotic devices. Multilingual Instructions for Use (IFUs), technical manuals, and training materials must clearly communicate device functionality, operating protocols, and safety warnings to protect patients and support clinical adoption.

Accurate translations also facilitate seamless integration of robotics systems within hospital environments, enabling smoother onboarding, staff training, and ongoing support across diverse linguistic settings. Clear, localized content helps healthcare providers develop trust in new robotic technologies, accelerating clinical acceptance and driving broader adoption.

Errors in translation can result in serious legal, regulatory, and operational risks, including product recalls, liability claims, and damage to brand reputation. Partnering with a specialized life sciences translation provider like Sesen minimizes these risks while supporting faster market entry and long-term success.
