bloqué par l'appareil / le mécanisme


Explanation:
Il n'y a pas d'entrée pour ce terme sur internet. Il me semble que l'auteur du texte ait créé son propre adjectif composé!

Je traduirai tout simplement par "bloqué par l'appareil / le mécanisme".

  -> Hi Daryo, thanks for your feedback. Proz is a great platform where translators with different levels of experience can exchange and discuss. I'm just starting out as a freelance translator, so I'm keen to know more about the methods you are referring to.
