When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.
Proposed translations
clinical diagnostics
I don't see how or why a laboratory can be engaged in or focused on clinical diagnosis, which is a diagnosis based on a study of the signs and symptoms of a disease, a diagnosis made on the basis of knowledge obtained by medical history and physical examination alone, without benefit of laboratory testsor x-ray films.

: I have also changed my mind and agree with you. Laboratories don't produce clinical diagnoses, they provide information for doctors to do so, and this is not splitting hairs.

: In this case, "clinico" is an adjective and "diagnostico" (diagnosis) is the noun being described. Also, from the context given by the asker, they're not a clinic; they're a laboratory.

Once again, I think I'm learning that no translation is straightforward. After looking again at this question I would agree with jude 69 and heidi who have obviously looked more closely at the available context. My answer doesn't fit!

Reference comments
Diagnostics or diagnosis
Diagnostics provide a cluster of objective measures directed toward identifying the cause of a disease.
...
Diagnosis, by contrast, rests on a patient’s history and symptoms and observed physical and laboratory findings.

- Diagnostics is a science or art.
- When you apply that science or art you diagnose or do a diagnosis. What you are doing is diagnosing.
- The result of that work is a diagnosis.
Diagnostics is the theory and science of discovering the nature of an illness.
A diagnosis is a single decision by a doctor, as to the nature of an illness.
