German term

Technikrundgang

German to English Medical Medical: Pharmaceuticals Vaccine Manufacture
"Während der Kultivierung der von der vorliegenden Abweichung betroffenen Charge 123 wurde bei einem Technikrundgang ein Austritt von Flüssigkeit aus dem Ventil ABC vor dem Kondensatableiter der Temperiereinheit der Pertussis Fermenters 456 festgestellt."

From a vaccine manufacturer's deviation report. I can't find a translation for Technikrundgang anywhere and really have no idea what it means. TIA for any light you can shed on this strange word.

Peer comment(s):

agree Jaime Hyland : "plant inspection tour" perhaps, to accent the fact that we're talking about an inspection walkabout, and not just the inspection of a single system or piece of plant.

Yes, that's a good point.
agree Ines R. : como Jaime "plant inspection tour"
3 hrs
... or "inspection visit".
agree philgoddard : I don't think "tour" or "visit" add anything to the sentence.

Something went wrong...
4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "Many thanks Steffen and the peer graders. I was reasonably sure about the "Rundgang" part of the word, but the use of "Technik" confused me, as it frequently does. Thanks again - appreciate your help."
