Spanish term

elementos de consumo

Spanish to English Marketing Medical: Pharmaceuticals
...detalles sobre la naturaleza y frecuencia de su mantenimiento preventivo, la sustitucion de elementos de consumo...

It's talking about the labelling requirements for a medical device--consumible parts?
Proposed translations (English)
4 +2 consumables
4 consumption elements
3 ( spare) parts

Discussion

Chris Bruton (asker) Jul 28, 2010:
I am going to close the question because I suspect this is a back translation, hence the Spanish is suspect. However, it seems clear the meaning is something along the lines of consumable or replacement parts, as Carmen suggests. Thanks!
Carmen Schultz Jul 26, 2010:
To David I had spelled it correctly in my first posting this same discussion section and I quote: "I think it is referring to parts to be replaced when the life of these runs out so it could be parts (as in spare parts) or perhaps even consumable parts as you suggested" which I then added as a note to my original answer area below and where I later stated that it was spelled ok in the discussion but not in the answer area. I was typing fast the first time I answered plus I wrote it the way the asker had it, which tripped me up.
David Russi Jul 26, 2010:
@Carmen Just to be clear, at 2 hours (when I entered my suggestion) your answer said "consumibles/consumible parts", both of which are misspelled, in the explanation field.
Carmen Schultz Jul 26, 2010:
Replacement parts/components V. consumable(s) Depending on the context, it could either be referring to medical device components/replacement parts (if the referring to parts that need to be changed) if referring to medical consumables in general then it would be consumable(s) but this could be just about any product used in a hospital and not necessarily devices only. I work in a large county hospital and that is what I hear the staff use there. From the context given it appears that the context has to do with maintaining the medical device and ensuring its proper functioning by calibrating it accordingly, etc; thus it would seem that when called for, certain parts need to be added (i.e, being called in new text provided "sustitucion de elementos "), which go hand in hand with replacement components/parts.
Chris Bruton (asker) Jul 26, 2010:
My esteemed colleagues, thank you for your interest. Here is the entire sentence, I hope it will shed some light!

La informacion necesaria para verificar si el dispositivo esta instalado en forma adecuada y puede funcionar correcta y seguramente, ademas de detalles sobre la naturaleza y frecuencia de su mantanamiento preventivo, la sustitucion de elementos de consumo, asi como aspectos relacionados con la calibracion necesaria para que el dispositivo funcione correctamente y con seguridad durante su vida util.
Carmen Schultz Jul 26, 2010:
I would like to clarify that I had actually pointed out early on (before Russi et al) that consumable(s) could work-- I simply gave more than one option (in different parts of my answer)-thus I don't understand why the repetion of some colleagues and/or disagree of another--do answerers and voters not read all the comments before giving their "informed" opinion??
Carmen Schultz Jul 25, 2010:
It may sound better to just call them "REPLACEMENT PARTS"

consumables

I don't think they are necessarily spare parts, though they could be, but this term is used a lot in English

No entiendo su respuesta puesto que yo al igual que Russi habia propuesto, antes que el mismo colega, la respuesta de "consumables" en varios lugares pero ud. aparentemente no se ha percatado !!
