French term or phrase: charge leurre
Hello,

I'm translating a document about autoclaves. I can't find "leurre" in this context.

"stérilisation avec charge leurre"

"charge leurre : mettre un cadre de charge rempli de supports INOX vides, sans aucune seringue" I understand this to be a sort of "test load" to see whether the autoclave is functioning correctly.

Does anyone know what this is in English in this specific context?

Thank you.

Explanation:
Leurre means bait or decoy, as in hunting and fishing.

Example sentence(s):
  • Not all autoclaves are load sensed ... this is achieved by use of a load probe placed within a ***dummy load***, similar to the load being sterilised

  -> No it isn't. Load can mean lots of things, but one thing it doesn't mean is "device".
