ANMDMR-compliant IFU translations for the Romanian medical device market
Romania is among the most dynamic medical device markets in the European Union. With a market volume of approximately 2.8 billion euros and annual growth of about 8 percent, Romania offers significant potential for European medical technology manufacturers. The modernization of the healthcare system and increasing EU funding continuously drive demand for modern medical devices.
The ANMDMR (National Agency for Medicines and Medical Devices of Romania) is the competent national authority for medical devices. It implements EU MDR 2017/745 on the Romanian market and monitors compliance with all documentation requirements. Instructions for use must be available in full in Romanian and contain all mandatory information per the MDR.
Romanian holds a fascinating unique position among Romance languages: as the only language in this family, it has preserved a functioning case system and forms the definite article as a suffix on the noun. These features, reinforced through contact with Slavic and other Balkan languages, make Romanian translations more demanding than other Romance languages. Product designations and technical terms must be correctly declined in every grammatical context.
A particularly critical aspect is the correct use of Romanian diacritical marks. The letters ș and ț bear a comma below the base letter — not a cedilla. This distinction is typographically subtle but essential for the quality of official documents. For historical reasons, older computer systems used the incorrect cedilla variants, leading to widespread confusion.
manualworks provides an end-to-end solution for Romanian IFU translations. The platform validates correct case usage, checks article suffixation, and ensures typographically flawless use of all Romanian special characters. ANMDMR-compliant terminology databases guarantee consistent use of Romanian medical terminology.
