Boston Scientific Case Study

Read our case study to learn how Lionbridge partnered with Boston Scientific, a medical device industry giant. We provided medical device documentation translation services to help this medical device manufacturer centralize language translations for their Summaries of Safety and Clinical Performance (SSCPs) and their Instructions for Use (IFUs). Through this medical device translation services partnership, we identified opportunities for optimization across content streams in Labeling and Regulatory Affairs in 17 translation projects across 24 languages.

This case study demonstrates the benefits of centralizing language assets for a device across interdependent technical device documentation, even when different functions own the documents. The SSCP is a regulated, living document typically owned by Regulatory Affairs. It’s written and updated based on other documents, such as the IFU (typically owned by Global Labeling). Thinking strategically about the SSCP and its interdependent documents enables manufacturers of high-risk devices to obtain significant efficiencies. This approach also helps them gain improved language outcomes throughout the entire device life cycle.

Life Sciences translation services are crucial because the European Union, home to 24 official languages and notably strict medical device regulations, is the second-largest medical device market. Lionbridge has been a reliable partner to medical device companies like Boston Scientific for decades because we bring a deep and current understanding of:

• EU language requirements
• Medical device content
• Other global medical device regulations
