Medical - Medical: Instruments / Laboratory testing
French term or phrase: bancs de tests
The first sentence mentions that blood tests must be performed in hospitals or laboratories. The next sentence reads 'Pour être en mesure de réaliser ces tests, ceux-ci doivent être équipés d'instruments, des bancs de tests, dédiés aux tests sanguins de l'hémostase'.

I am confused as to what these actually are. Are they simply testing tables, or test databases, or something else entirely?
