Bionova Q Sterilization Traceability

Terragene is a sterilization monitoring company whose main commercial office is in Montevideo, Uruguay, with branches in the United States, Mexico, China, Brazil and Argentina and distributors in more than 70 countries. It supplies biological and chemical indicators and software for central sterile services departments (CSSDs).

Bionova Q is a cloud-based traceability platform for CSSDs. Built-in AI reads chemical indicators through computer vision, and the Bionova Q Agent connects to existing incubators to capture biological indicator results automatically. Each indicator is linked to its process, load and user, and operating-room indicators can be linked to instruments and patients.

• AI indicator reading: computer vision interprets chemical indicators.
• Incubator agent: captures biological indicator results from existing incubators.
• Process linkage: ties each indicator to its process, load and user.
• Patient and instrument linkage: connects operating-room indicators to instruments and patients.
• Parallel use: several users can work at the same time.
• Audit-ready reports: digital records generated for inspections.

Digitising sterilization load records in the central sterile department of a provincial hospital in Vietnam. Linking surgical indicators to instrument sets and patients for infection investigations. Preparing audit-ready reports for hospital accreditation.

Records indicator results automatically, including outside working hours. Supports parallel work by multiple users. Generates digital, audit-ready reports for Joint Commission and ISO compliance. Implementation takes 3 to 5 days with no servers or IT infrastructure required.

Hospitals are replacing paper logs with digital sterilization records to meet accreditation and infection-control audits. AI and cloud tools reduce manual reading of indicators. Vietnamese hospitals expanding central sterile departments and preparing for accreditation face the same documentation burden.
