EU In Vitro Diagnostic Regulation replacing IVDD, with significantly increased clinical performance requirements and new device classification rules for IVD manufacturers.
International standard for quality management systems specific to medical devices and IVDs — required for CE marking and recognized by FDA, Health Canada, and TGA.
International standard for quality and competence in medical laboratories — applicable to clinical chemistry, hematology, microbiology, and molecular diagnostics labs.
US Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments regulations governing laboratory testing quality, personnel standards, and proficiency testing for clinical laboratories.
International standard for information to be supplied by the manufacturer of in vitro diagnostic reagents and instruments — governing IVD labeling requirements globally.
The IVD & laboratory translation partner trusted globally.
The in vitro diagnostics industry operates at the intersection of analytical chemistry, molecular biology, clinical medicine, and regulatory affairs — and translation in this sector demands expertise across all four disciplines. Day Translations has assembled a dedicated IVD translation practice with linguists who hold advanced degrees in clinical chemistry, microbiology, molecular diagnostics, and medical laboratory science.
The EU In Vitro Diagnostic Regulation (EU IVDR 2017/746) has fundamentally transformed the European IVD market, imposing significantly higher clinical performance requirements and reclassifying the majority of IVD devices into higher risk classes. Day Translations provides IVDR-specialized translation teams who understand the specific requirements of Notified Bodies for performance evaluation reports, post-market performance follow-up plans, and the EU IVDR technical documentation structure.
For FDA submissions, our IVD translation specialists are familiar with the 510(k) pathway for moderate-risk IVDs, the PMA pathway for high-risk devices, and the De Novo classification process. We translate analytical validation reports covering the full range of performance characteristics — accuracy, precision, linearity, specificity, sensitivity, and reference intervals — with the technical precision required for FDA review under 21 CFR Part 809.
Clinical laboratory accreditation documentation represents another core area of our IVD practice. We translate ISO 15189 quality management documentation, CLIA compliance materials, CAP accreditation documents, and laboratory standard operating procedures for clinical chemistry, hematology, microbiology, immunology, and molecular diagnostics laboratories worldwide.

Frequently asked questions.
Yes. We provide comprehensive EU IVDR technical documentation translation, including performance evaluation reports (PER), post-market performance follow-up (PMPF) plans, risk management files (ISO 14971), and Declaration of Conformity. Our IVDR specialists understand the specific requirements of Notified Bodies and EUDAMED registration.
Yes. We specialize in multi-language IVD labeling packages, delivering translations in 50+ languages simultaneously using parallel translation teams. All labels are formatted to match the source layout with correct ISO 7000/ISO 15223 symbols and comply with the labeling requirements of each target market.
Analytical validation reports are translated by clinical chemists or laboratory scientists with direct experience in IVD validation. We translate all performance characteristics — accuracy, precision, linearity, specificity, sensitivity, reference intervals, and interference studies — with the technical precision required for FDA 510(k) and EU IVDR submissions.
Yes. We translate ISO 15189 quality management documentation for clinical laboratories seeking accreditation from national accreditation bodies. This includes quality manuals, SOPs, competency assessment records, and proficiency testing documentation. We also translate CAP accreditation materials and CLIA compliance documentation.
Standard IVD labeling translations are typically delivered within 3–7 business days depending on length and language pair. Expedited turnaround (1–2 business days) is available for urgent submissions. For multi-language packages (10+ languages), we deliver all languages simultaneously.
Yes. We translate POC device labeling, rapid test instructions, and patient-facing materials for home-use IVD products. These documents require both technical accuracy and plain-language accessibility. Our translators are trained in health literacy principles and follow FDA guidance for home-use IVD labeling.
We create and maintain client-specific Translation Memories and approved terminology glossaries for each IVD program. All translations leverage existing TM matches, and new terms are flagged for client approval. This ensures consistency across IVD labels, IFUs, validation reports, and regulatory submissions in the same package.
