Swedish term (edited):
(inget som) nappar tag
Selected
attach/get caught
My in-house expert consultant agrees with the literal suggestion above, and that it is highly colloquial -- but also indicates that the negative in your context 'inget som nappar tag' is really the term you're looking for, as this shifts the meaning or emphasis.
More context would be helpful, if possible. A medical report ... from where in the country? Sorry no references I can link to! ;-)

Example sentence:
...slight discolouration, but nothing is attached to (catches in) the device.

Is what it literally means. This report seems to be written in quite colloquial language, so I suppose you are translating it that way too.
