Connected Labeling
Medical device labeling rarely exists as a single document. The same device name, warning, instruction, technical term, measurement, or safety statement may appear across multiple product touchpoints.
Each asset has its own format and purpose, but the underlying product information must remain aligned. Sesen approaches medical device labeling translation as a connected multilingual content system—helping organizations maintain controlled terminology and meaning across labeling touchpoints while accommodating the space, format, usability, and market-specific requirements of each asset.
Managing these relationships together can reduce terminology drift, inconsistent warnings, duplicated review effort, and avoidable discrepancies between related product materials.

Sesen supports multilingual labeling across physical, digital, user-facing, and lifecycle content for medical devices and diagnostic products.
Translate concise, space-sensitive content while preserving technical meaning, safety information, and product identification.
Maintain accurate multilingual content across cartons, inserts, packaging, and structured product-identification elements.
Support detailed device instructions while keeping terminology aligned with labels, packaging, and other approved product content.
Support controlled multilingual content as product information moves from paper into electronic and structured delivery formats.
Maintain multilingual labeling as products, markets, safety information, and presentation formats evolve over time.
A safety warning should not communicate one meaning on a carton and another in the IFU. A device component should not acquire different names because it appears in separate files.
Sesen can use approved terminology, client glossaries, translation memory, product naming conventions, reviewer decisions, prior approved translations, and reference materials to maintain continuity across related labeling assets and successive releases.
Medical device labeling quality depends on more than translated text. Language must remain accurate after it enters the final label, carton, insert, IFU, or electronic format.
Sesen supports a controlled workflow from source preparation through final-context linguistic review, with review depth configured around content risk, client requirements, languages, and project scope.
Source files, approved terminology, existing translations, product references, translation memory, style requirements, and project instructions are aligned before multilingual production begins.
Professional linguists with relevant medical-device, technical, clinical, or regulatory expertise translate the content for its intended audience and use.
Review focuses on meaning, completeness, terminology, readability, warnings, instructions, numbers, units, and source-target consistency.
Translated content is placed into labels, cartons, inserts, manuals, IFUs, and other required production formats while accounting for text expansion and script-specific layout needs.
Language is reviewed within final or near-final layout to identify truncation, placement, rendering, line-break, terminology, and visual-context issues that may not be visible in a bilingual file.
Explore Label Review & In-Context QAApproved multilingual files are delivered in the required formats, with terminology, translation memory, reviewer decisions, and relevant history retained to support future updates where appropriate.
Medical device labels create localization constraints that ordinary documents do not. Limited physical space, text expansion, multiple languages, complex scripts, symbols, identifiers, and fixed artwork can all affect how correct language performs in context.
A linguistically accurate sentence can still become problematic after layout. Sesen's final-format linguistic QA can help identify issues before final delivery or release.
This review focuses on linguistic accuracy and content integrity in final context. Regulatory approval and final labeling compliance remain the responsibility of the manufacturer and its designated regulatory teams.
UDI, model information, product codes, barcodes, dates, measurements, and other structured data require a different localization approach from ordinary prose.
Some elements need translation. Others must remain exactly as supplied. Sesen applies controlled workflows designed to distinguish between the two while preserving the relationship between identifiers and surrounding multilingual text.
The first multilingual launch is only one stage of a global labeling program. Products change, markets are added, safety information evolves, packaging is redesigned, new models appear, and digital delivery expands.

Sesen supports labeling translation for a broad range of medical technologies, from focused product-label projects to multilingual systems involving devices, software, diagnostics, user instructions, and multiple product configurations.
Our teams support labeling for diagnostic and therapeutic devices, surgical and procedural products, imaging systems, monitoring equipment, connected devices, patient-use products, professional-use systems, laboratory equipment, and complex product families.
Workflows are configured according to terminology, intended audience, content risk, file format, and review requirements rather than treating every device category the same.
IVD labeling may combine scientific terminology, specimen information, warnings, operating instructions, performance-related concepts, product identification, packaging, and detailed IFUs.
Sesen supports multilingual IVD labels, packaging, IFUs/eIFUs, and related product information while maintaining terminology continuity across diagnostic content.
Explore IVD Translation ServicesMedical device labeling requirements vary by market, device, intended user, product configuration, and regulatory pathway. Successful global programs therefore require more than translating a source label into a standard list of languages.
Sesen works with medical device organizations to implement multilingual workflows around manufacturer-defined market and regulatory requirements. Specific legal and regulatory determinations remain with the manufacturer's regulatory team; Sesen builds the multilingual workflow around those requirements and approved references.
Explore Regulatory Translation ServicesSupport multilingual content workflows for global device programs that coexist with U.S. labeling requirements, including labels, packaging, instructions, safety content, and UDI-related information.
Under the EU Medical Device Regulation, information supplied with a device must be provided in the official Union language or languages determined by the Member State in which the device is made available. Sesen supports multilingual labels, IFUs, packaging, user information, and recurring updates across European markets.
Support multilingual IVD labeling and IFU workflows while coordinating scientific and diagnostic terminology across related content.
The EU eIFU framework permits electronic rather than paper Instructions for Use for MDR devices intended for professional users when the applicable conditions are met.

Common questions about medical device label translation, IFUs and eIFUs, artwork, terminology, updates, UDI-related content, languages, and AI-assisted workflows.
Medical device labeling translation is the specialized translation and localization of information supplied with or presented on a medical device and its related packaging or user information. Depending on the product, this can include device labels, cartons, IFUs, eIFUs, user manuals, warnings, precautions, product identification, storage information, packaging inserts, and selected digital labeling content. Because the same product information often appears across multiple assets, effective medical device labeling translation also requires terminology management, version control, formatting, and cross-content consistency.
Sesen translates device labels, packaging and cartons, IFUs and DFUs, eIFUs, user manuals, operating instructions, installation and maintenance instructions, warnings and precautions, product identification content, UDI-related multilingual text, storage information, packaging inserts, and selected digital labeling content. We also provide multilingual DTP, final-format linguistic QA, terminology management, and ongoing update support.
