Introduction
The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region—including the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and others—has strict regulations when it comes to medical device documentation. One key requirement is the accurate and certified translation of user manuals into Arabic and English. Whether you’re a manufacturer, importer, or distributor, compliance isn’t optional—it’s essential.
At Al-Hamd Legal Translation, we specialize in medical device manual translation for Gulf market compliance, ensuring your documentation is legally valid, technically accurate, and culturally appropriate.
Why Accurate Translation of Medical Device Manuals Is Crucial
Medical devices are life-critical products. Incorrect translation of manuals can lead to misuse, legal liabilities, and failed regulatory audits.
Key Risks of Poor Translation:
Non-compliance with MOH regulations
Misinterpretation of device usage or dosage
Legal penalties and product recalls
Patient safety hazards
Regulatory Bodies Requiring Compliance:
| Country | Regulatory Authority | Language Requirement |
|---|---|---|
| UAE | Ministry of Health & Prevention (MOHAP) | Arabic & English |
| Saudi Arabia | Saudi Food & Drug Authority (SFDA) | Arabic |
| Qatar | Ministry of Public Health (MOPH) | Arabic |
| Oman & Bahrain | National Regulatory Authorities | Arabic & English |
Takeaway: If you want to sell medical devices in the GCC, accurate manual translation is mandatory.
