Certified Technical Translations for Medical Devices

In addition to legal and immigration documents, we also offer technical translations in the field of medical devices, combining linguistic expertise with highest accuracy. Whether certificates, technical documentation, instructions for use (IFUs) or clinical evaluation reports – your texts are in expert hands. As an authorized translator from the Higher Regional Court of Hamm, as well as a quality management representative (QMB) and responsible person in accordance with Article 15 of the MDR (EU) 2017/745, I can support you with everything that is linguistically necessary for approvals, registrations or audits.
