Regulated Medical Documentation That Scales with Your Portfolio
MadCap Flare helps medical device and healthcare organizations produce documentation that supports FDA submission and global regulatory workflows, from a single, auditable source of truth.
Organizations Trust MadCap Flare for Medical and Regulatory Documentation
173
Outputs from Single Source
The Challenge: Illumina’s genomics hardware documentation needed to support multiple product variants, formats, and languages at massive scale.
The Solution: Adopted Flare with Lingo to generate variant-specific outputs from one master project.
The Result: Cut project time up to 80% and now produces 173 outputs from a single project; simple updates dropped from 2 days to 5 minutes.
12
IFU Languages Supported
The Challenge: HeartFlow needed FDA- and EU MDR-aligned IFUs across 12 languages for its cardiac diagnostic technology.
The Solution: Used Flare conditional tags, scripted command-line builds, and MadTranslations to automate regional IFU variants from one master source.
The Result: IFU delivery time dropped dramatically while regulatory parity held across every jurisdiction.
50%
Faster Compliant Docs
The Challenge: Intelerad’s medical imaging documentation was throttled by FrameMaker®’s limited outputs and lack of scalability.
The Solution: Replaced FrameMaker® with MadCap Flare to take advantage of command-line builds plugged into the production tool chain, and snippets for shared regulatory language.
The Result: Production time dropped from two weeks to less than one while content stayed consistent across every release.
Medical, regulatory, and compliance documentation covers the device documentation, clinical labeling, post-market surveillance materials, and regulatory submissions that life-sciences and medical-device companies file with FDA, EMA, and notified bodies. Every product variant, jurisdiction, and language must stay consistent, with an audit trail that holds up under inspection. Flare enforces that consistency through conditional text, snippets, and variables that generate jurisdiction-specific outputs from one master source.
