English term or phrase: reflex testing
Je relis un texte traduit et le terme "reflex testing" revient à plusieurs reprises. Il a été traduit par "test réflexe" mais je ne suis pas convaincue (en tout cas, je ne trouve pas d'occurrence). En fait, le sens est celui de "tests effectués à la suite les uns des autres en cas de résultat positif à un premier test" (rien à voir avec les réflexes), mais j'ai besoin de vos lumières... Existe-t-il un terme en français qui le rende (et qui ne me vient pas) ? Ou est-ce bien "tests réflexes" ? Merci d'avance...
Voici un exemple de phrases dans lesquelles ces termes apparaissent : "A Pregnancy (Serum) test will be performed in case the urine pregnancy test is positive (reflex testing)." et "As per international consensus guidelines for infectious disease testing, HBsAg Confirmation tests are performed in case HBsAg test results are reactive (reflex testing) in order to rule out false positives."

Reflex Testing: Compliance, Billing and Coding

Reflex Testing: Compliance, Billing and Coding By BETTY HATTEN
A "reflex" test is a procedure routinely added-on to a patient order when the initial test results are at a level that meets the clinician’s threshold to automatically add specific tests. In a nutshell, they are protocols that specify if this then that. While this makes a great deal of common sense, care to dot all the I’s and cross all the T’s is the mainstay of billing and coding compliance. The documentation for dotting and crossing I’s and T’s is the heart of the compliance step.
Table 1 provides examples of typical best practices for reflex that are standard nationwide.
