French term

patient appareillé [in this context]

French to English Medical Medical (general)
I know this has been asked before and I have previously (in other contexts) translated this in other ways, namely as, "patient who uses a CPAP machine", but the context here has left me unsure.

So, this is from a urine microscopy and culture lab report, coming under the heading:

IUI assisted reproductive technology consent no. XXX

EXAMEN D'URINES

ECBU

CHEZ UN PATIENT APPAREILLE
Prélèvement apporté au Laboratoire
Heure de recueil: 19:00
sur dispositif de sonde

So is this just a urine sample from a catheter?

I can only think that it is relevant that the patient is "equipped" with a catheter....I'm not sure a pacemaker/CPAP machine here would be entirely relevant?!?

Thanks in advance.

sonde That's what I think, too, since they took the sample from the catheter tubing (prélèvement sur dispositif de sonde) - appareillé just means fitted with some equipment (dental braces in the case of dentistry, for example).
Tony M Oct 29, 2019:
@ Asker I think the idea is 'fitted with...' — so as you say, the only thing that makes sense her is a 'catheterized patient'

However, I am NOT a medical expert!!

patient wearing a medical device

Hi,
The wording is pretty vague and I would preserve its ambiguity when translating, without inferring the type of device. It can be anything from the list below, or even a prosthesis, regardless of how much/little it influences the urine sample. It could even be a diabetes monitoring device - the patient would still fall into the *appareillé* category, but that would definitely impact the sample. To be as inclusive as possible, ambiguity is key here, in my opinion - an umbrella term should be used, to keep you away for possible misinterpretations.
Just my two cents :)

neutral Drmanu49 : dispositif de sonde is not vague in this case.
