In the medical world, quality translations
are not a matter of luxury. They are critical!
Net-Translators provides medical translation
services to hospitals, medical equipment manufacturers,
pharmaceutical firms, clinicians, and researchers
seeking translation into the Dutch language.
Because medical translation demands total accuracy
and zero tolerance for misinterpretation, we
employ translators where their native language
is Dutch. Net-Translators works closely with
clients to ensure that translations are 100%
accurate and exceed the clients' expectations.
How Big Is the Translation Challenge in the
United States?
Medical translation is becoming increasingly
more necessary, even for American companies
who do not sell their products outside the
US. In the US today, approximately 47 million
Americans over the age of five -about a fifth
of the population-speak a language other than
English at home, almost half of these Americans
do not speak English as their native tongue,
but some may speak Dutch, or a variety of other
languages..
Market Access and Medical Translation into
Dutch - Europe
To sell products in Europe, all non-European
medical device manufacturers must comply with
the regulations of the countries to which they
export. European Union (EU) regulatory requirements
regarding medical products have cast the medical
translation industry into the spotlight, especially
since the regulations dictated in the council
directives concerning Medical Devices and In-Vitro
Diagnostic devices (MDD and IVD Directives)
began requiring that documentation for medical
devices be translated into the native language
of the countries where they are used.
Basically, three European directives directly
and exclusively address medical equipment:
Council Directive 90/385/EEC of 20
June 1990 on the approximation of the
laws of the Member States relating to
active implantable medical devices (the
AIMD Directive)
Council Directive 93/42/EEC of 14 June
1993 concerning medical devices (the
MD Directive)
Directive 98/79/EC of the European
Parliament and of the Council of 27 October
1998 on in-vitro diagnostic medical devices (the
IVD Directive)
What do all of these
regulations mean for manufacturers of medical
devices?
Medical manufacturers must submit their technical documents, as well as their
product labeling, operating instructions, and manuals in the local language (Dutch)
of the country where they will be used.
