    Dear RAPS members,

    Can anyone recommend a company that provides translation services for user manuals and user interfaces for a complex medical device that is intended for patient monitoring in the intensive care environment?

    Many thanks!

    Good Morning Anonymous,

    I have used both Idem (https://idemtranslations.com/) and Morningside Translations (https://www.morningtrans.com/) in the past and had good experiences with both of them.

    Hello,

    I have used Idem Translations (https://idemtranslations.com/) exclusively throughout my 25-year career in medical devices. I have referred them to many companies and have only heard glowing reviews. If you have specific questions, please feel free to contact me.

    I've had luck with Zebra Translations in the past for medical device labeling: www.zebratranslations.uk 

    Good luck!

    Hello, I recommended Argo Translations https://www.argotrans.com 

    They are highly knowledgeable of regulations and have a very tough vetting process for their translators.  Some are even retired medical doctors.

    And for sure, whoever you pick needs to be on your supplier list.

    We utilize Intransco for our IFU and insert translations​. They are always responsive and we've had success with them.
