Why This Matters For US/UK Manufacturers

Entering Italy under the EU MDR 2017/745 and EU IVDR 2017/746 demands audit-ready Italian documentation for every medical device (MD) and in vitro diagnostic medical device (IVD). Instructions for use (IFUs), labels, patient materials, and safety information: every line must mirror the source and follow EMA QRD templates and MDR/IVDR terminology. Notified Bodies and market surveillance test language conformity. Gaps trigger findings, stall market access, and force costly Corrective and Preventive Actions (CAPAs), reprints, and relabeling.

    Proof Of Compliance Mindset

    Language requirements

    Information supplied with the device must be available in the official language(s) of the Member State where the device is made available; in Italy, that means Italian.

    Translations preserve the risk/benefit intent and harmonize terminology across IFUs, labels, and related documents.

    Audit readiness

    Deliverables are prepared to withstand notified body scrutiny and minimize back-and-forth during assessments.

      FAQ

      1Do marketing materials need Italian?
      The core requirements target “information supplied with the device” (i.e. IFUs, labels, safety information, and patient-facing texts). Marketing materials can be treated differently, but local practices may apply. Ask for an assessment.
      2Which Italian requirements apply to my device?
      Member-State language rules require Italian for information supplied with devices in Italy. I can help you interpret what that means for your IFUs and labels.
