Tauchrohlinge (catheter)

Is there a chance to ask the client? This is really an unusual term and may have a specific 'in-house' meaning, or be an error altogether.

Getinge Group The ultimate parent of Getinge Group is a Swedish entity - see https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Getinge_AB

Has the German term perhaps been translated from Swedish? Not that I know the Swedish equivalent, though ...

The text is about shelf lives of medical equipment and consumables. There is almost no information about it, unfortunately. It is about products of Getinge group, and only in one table it says "Tauchrohlinge" followed by "(Katheter / Kanülen) / Rohmaterialflügel (PS-Barren)" that have shelf lives of 2 years. No info on Getinge's own website, unfortunately.

@Liz Your source has been machine-translated at least to a certain extent, which is why I wouldn't trust it at all.

"Tauch" presumably means spare. "Rohling" usually means blank, but I'm not sure if that makes sense. Could it be a mistake for "Röhrchen", meaning tubules?
I agree that we need more context. And is "catheters/cannules" in English, as you imply?

Not even all-wise Auntie G. knows the word "Tauchrohling" :-(( Could it be a typo or OCR error?

Too little context You need to provide more information about your text, rather than just the term asked and a single detail (sterilization). See https://www.proz.com/faq/70204#70204
