French term

registre de surveillance des pompes

French to English Medical Medical: Instruments
Here is the text, talking about insulin pumps:

"Pour sa part, Le Pr. XXX pointe du doigt le manque d’efficience des registres de surveillance des pompes. En effet, tous les changements de pompe extérieure à insuline sont répertoriés dans des registres tenus par les prestataires, des sociétés de service qui implantent les pompes. « Comme le prestataire renvoie le dispositif détecteur au fabricant qui se borne à l’échanger sans généralement fournir d’information, on ne sait pas ce qui s’est passé » explique XXX.

How would you say "registres de surveillance des pompes" in English?
Thanks!

Seems fairly straightforward. You could also say maintenance.

I don't think this is something you can judge by Google hits. It's just the logical way to translate it.
Note from asker:
Thanks. This is obviously the first idea that came to me too. I was concerned that there dosn't seem to be much evidence of this formulation being used on Google. But I am actually not convinced that the French is a standard formulation in this context.
Thanks, but I have since found out that the key to understanding all this is the concept of post-marketing surveillance (PMS) of medical devices.

agree Patricia Pabst : I agree that it is straighforward, normal language, where actual technical terms are more often "googleable". And the rest of the paragraph supports that meaning.
