French to English translations [PRO]
Medical - Medical: Pharmaceuticals / Vaccine production
French term or phrase: potence
Context:
La stérilisation de l’assemblage est validée selon le rapport XXX-RAP-00137.
Les contrôles de volumes extractibles sont réalisés sur R7 à l’aide d’une potence.
Ces contrôles sont identiques à ceux réalisés pour les vaccins XXX-XXX Flu ID.
Do we really need to use a crane for this test?
Having stared to ask the question discovered that 'drip stand' perhaps fits the bill.
Your confirmation would be appreciated.
TIA Chris.
