Pharmaceutical / Medical
Pharmaceutical companies, manufacturers of medical devices, biotech companies, and health care managers face demanding requirements in the quality of all their public documentation. Due to the stringent regulatory requirements and high risk liabilities inherent to pharmaceutical and medical translations, maintaining consistency and accuracy are vitally important to the health and safety of patients.
MultiTrans Prism helps companies to manage translations and terminology easily and to reduce their overall cost of translation through effective reuse of existing translation. Leveraging your existing, approved, translations through translation memory is the best way to maintain consistency across your documentation and lower costs by eliminating duplicate translation. Terminology Management is critical to using the correct terminology in the right context and with MultiTrans Prism' quality assurance tools you can easily verify correct usage in all your documents. The built-in audit trails and controls allow real-time monitoring of who approved what, who revised what, who changed what to what, and when they did so, satisfying regulatory audit requirements for ISO compliance.
Sample scenarios of how MultiTrans Prism benefits the Pharmaceutical and Medical industries:
- Maintaining consistency in terminology across your product documentation from IFUs/DFUs, to marketing pieces, to product labeling and IVR scripts is essential to product management. MultiTrans Prism has helped clients do this in one or two hundred languages. Our Terminology Management tools help medical and pharmaceutical companies mitigate risks, include definitions, usage examples and even illustrations. Through our web technology this information can be shared with your overseas distributors and partners who may be responsible for all or part of translation work for foreign markets, while you keep control.
- A US-based medical device manufacturer faced a daunting challenge when deciding to distribute their products in the European Union. Medical Device Directive (93/42/EEC) requires manufacturers to translate their product packaging, end-user instructions, labels and other essential product documentation in the language of the country in which they want to sell. Initially this company relied on their over-seas distribution partner to have these translated. But soon, physicians in those countries started sending in complaints about inaccurate and inconsistent documentation in their native language. Several even stated that if their English knowledge had not allowed them to read the directions for use in English patient safety would have been compromised. The company acted by turning over the responsibility to their documentation department which implemented MultiTrans Prism as their preferred tool to manage reuse of content across document types and to enforce terminology consistency.
