Abstract
BACKGROUND: In Japan, reporting of medical device malfunctions and related health problems is mandatory, and efforts are being made to standardize terminology through the Adverse Event Terminology Collection of the Japan Federation of Medical Device Associations (JFMDA). Internationally, the Adverse Event Terminology of the International Medical Device Regulators Forum (IMDRF-AET) provides a standardized terminology collection in English. Mapping between the JFMDA terminology collection and the IMDRF-AET is critical to international harmonization. However, the process of translating the terminology collections from English to Japanese and reconciling them is done manually, resulting in high human workloads and potential inaccuracies.
