Geriatric Medical Device Translations
From continuous glucose monitors and motorized wheelchairs to blood pressure (BP) monitors and portable oxygen tanks, medical device translations are extremely important for eldercare. Around the world, older adults rely more heavily on medical devices and face greater risks in cases of adverse events. To ensure the efficacy and safety of medical devices internationally, medical device manufacturers must comply to global regulation standards, as well as effectively train employees on current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP).
CSOFT Health Sciences helps medical device companies expanding overseas meet regulatory requirements while maintaining the safety and efficacy of medical device throughout the entire product lifecycle.
