"Übersicht Verbrauchsartikel für eine Behandlung"
Context is a liver support machine. Under this heading appears several items including such things as tubes, filters, solutions, clamps etc. Under normal circumstances I'd be thinking "accessories" - but why wouldn't they say "Zubehör"??

: I would say 'supplies'. 'Consumables' would be more like 'Verbrauchsmaterial'.
