Instructions for Use (IFU) Translation Services

Our Instructions for Use (IFU) translations help life science companies expand internationally with confidence

Contact us now

Throughout the healthcare industry, Instructions for Use (IFUs) are informative patient-facing labels on medical devices and pharmaceutical products. IFU translations are essential for medical products being developed for international markets. The information in an IFU guides the proper use of a medication or device, informing patients of necessary precautions they should take or helping simplify complex dosing instructions as the world has become increasingly digital. An electronic IFU format (eIFU) is becoming more prevalent. eIFUs contain audio and video files that enable life science companies to more effectively demonstrate how to correctly handle medical products.  For life science companies expanding overseas, highly accurate and timely IFU translations are vital since most regulatory agencies (such as the FDA, EMA, and NMPA) require IFUs and eIFUs to be translated into the market’s primary language before gaining market approval. Failing to provide an accurate IFU or eIFU translation can result in loss of market access, negative brand impact, and even legal consequences like fines, lawsuits, and imprisonment. CSOFT Health Sciences’ global network of 10,000+ in-country linguists and subject matter experts, along with our quality assurance process and video translation services, provides life science companies with high-quality and timely IFU and eIFU translations to ensure regulatory compliance and the best ROI.
