French to English translations [PRO]
Tech/Engineering - Medical: Pharmaceuticals
French term or phrase: Languettes
In the context of a SOP for cleaning cleanroom equipment. The term occurs multiple times, mostly in a list of specific items to be cleaned in the course of a procedure, e.g.:
- "Laminar air flow sous languettes"
- "Parois intérieure languettes"
- "Extérieure des languettes du LAF (Laminar Air Flow)"
- "sols, murs, plafonds, portes, clenches, languettes, gants RABS"
- "Languettes des flux laminaires, poignées, lunettes"
- "Tables de travail Machines – Bancs Languettes - flux laminaire"
- "intérieur/extérieur languettes LAF"

I have been looking for this for over an hour and haven't been able to find any clues. Are they referring to a type of strips? Any help would be appreciated.
