What does "strained fruit juices (without pulp)" mean?)

So I have to have a colonoscopy at the hospital next week and have to follow a specific diet. Under drinks allowed it says "strained fruit juices (without pulp)". What does it mean by strained? Can I have tropicana orange smooth (no bits)?

There are two kinds of fruit juices: those that are strained and clear (like grape, berry and
cherry juice); the nectars, which are whole fruit juices usually made from peaches, apricots and
pears. The nectars are thickened with fine sieved pulp.

If the orange is smooth then yes. If it is made from concentrate (without bits) then also yes.

Good luck!
