Doing medical device business internationally requires a company to consider many moving parts such as regulatory minutiae, tax structures and import/export laws. The problem of translation, however, is not often thought of. Companies such as ForeignExchange Translations Inc., headquartered in Louisville, Colo., specialize in medical language translation, and they translate technical, regulatory, clinical or marketing documentation, and software or training curriculum for companies in healthcare fields.
Irvine, Calif.-based Edwards Lifesciences Corporation, which makes heart valves and hemodynamic monitoring technology, has selected ForeignExchange Translations as its preferred supplier of translation services for its Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) operations. Since 2008, ForeignExchange has supported Edwards in the United States. By extending the relationship to Edwards’ EMEA region, Edwards hopes to ensure shortened translation times, reduced costs, and improved linguistic quality through ForeignExchange’s multilingual compliance process.
Such a selection comes as the result of an extensive evaluation process. Under the terms of the agreement, ForeignExchange will support Edwards EMEA’s marketing, clinical research, and corporate functions with its multilingual solutions.
