German term or phrase: am Gerät vorgesehene Gewinde
Talking about a medical device (re. ISO 14971:2007 Medical devices)

Das Medizinprodukt ist dafür vorgesehen in einem Labor für Histologie, aufzustellen. Um das Gerät dorthin zu transportieren sind entsprechende Tragegriffe vorgesehen, die zuvor an vorgesehenen Gewinden am Gerät montiert werden müssen.

I'm rather puzzled by the second sentence. Have I understood it correctly?

This medical device is intended to be set up in a histological laboratory. The device is fitted with handles for transportation to the laboratory. These handles need to be attached to the mounting threads provided on the unit before use.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Many thanks! Good question about the threads. I can't see any on the pictures of the unit, so I assume they are internal (female) and covered with protective caps when the handles aren't fitted.

agree  Venkatesh Sundaram: 'Screwing on' or 'screwed into' seems a more accurate description of the attachment process than just "attached"
