Best Practices for Medical Device Software Localization
According to the European Medical Device Directive (MDD) amendment of 2010, software is now included in the definition of a medical device. This inclusion is an acknowledgment of the fact that software is so integral to the functioning and therapy of a device. Given this new attention on software by global regulators, proper medical software localization is now even more important.
