German term

Applikationshilfe

German to English Medical Medical: Instruments Medical devices
This in a website for a company manufacturing medical devices:

"Zertifikat gemäß Anhang II der Richtlinie für Medizinprodukte 93/42/EWG: Einmalspritzen, Kanülen, Applikationshilfen Download PDF >"

Is "Applikationshilfe" merely a "medical device" or can you translate it as "application device"? I am having trouble finding the best way to translate this in English.

Thanks.
Proposed translations (English)
4 +2 administration device
4 +2 applicator

Non-ProZ.com Oct 3, 2004:
Note Thanks for the references Steffen. I agree with you about "administration", although I have seen "application" used instead of "admnistration" or in cases where "administration" is meant. Applicator would also fit here but I would prefer to use "device" in order to be consistent with the rest of the text (and the fact that the company manufactures medical devices".

administration device

See EU refs for "Applikationshilfe" vs "administration device":

http://europa.eu.int/eur-lex/pri/de/oj/dat/2003/l_159/l_1592... (German, page 20 of PDF)

http://europa.eu.int/eur-lex/pri/en/oj/dat/2003/l_159/l_1592... (English, page 20 of PDF)

IMO Applikation means "Anwendung" or "Verabreichung" here (of drugs), which would fit well with "administration".

more precisely: page 20 of PDF, item 43

The German version of the cited EU doc. is inconsistent: later on (under item 45), they also use \"Verabreichungsvorrichtung\" vs \"administration device\" - so \"Applikationshilfe\" and \"Verabreichungsvorrichtung\" are synonymous.

While \"applicator\" is certainly equally correct, I\'d stick to EU speak here (i.e. \"administration device\") because of the ref. to Directive 93/42/EEC in your source.
