Terragene en el 3° Congreso Iberoamericano de Esterilización

Del 30 de abril al 2 de mayo de 2026, Cartagena de Indias fue el epicentro de la esterilización hospitalaria iberoamericana. Más de 1.300 profesionales del reprocesamiento de dispositivos médicos, entre ellos enfermeros instrumentistas, jefes de central, biomédicos y gestores hospitalarios, se reunieron en el III Congreso Iberoamericano de Esterilización (CIBE 2026), organizado por IASSIPC®.

Terragene estuvo presente con una propuesta clara y diferenciadora: poner en el centro del debate un desafío que toda central de esterilización enfrenta hoy: ¿Qué hacemos con todos los datos que generamos en el Departamento de Procesamiento de Equipos (DPE)?

La participación de Terragene en el CIBE 2026 apuntó a generar una conversación de fondo: la transición de una gestión analógica, dispersa y reactiva hacia una gestión digital, integrada y basada en evidencia. Y Bionova Q fue el hilo conductor de esa conversación. 

A lo largo de los tres días del congreso, el stand de Terragene se convirtió en un punto de encuentro para equipos que ya están dando ese paso y para aquellos que buscan entender por dónde empezar. Las demos en vivo, el simposio interactivo y el Photon Challenge hicieron del espacio una experiencia completa.

Simposio interactivo sobre gestión de datos en el DPE

Juan Diaz y Luciano Demarco lideraron el simposio ¿Qué hacemos con los datos que generamos en el DPE?", generando debate activo con los asistentes sobre el rol de la información en la mejora continua del reprocesamiento

Photon Challenge: velocidad y conocimiento en acción

Una experiencia interactiva que puso a prueba a los asistentes sobre Photon, uno de los indicadores biológicos más rápidos del mercado. Entretenimiento, educación y marca: todo en uno.

Bionova Q como eje del ecosistema digital

El foco de la participación estuvo puesto en demostrar cómo Blonova Q integra todos los datos del proceso lavado, esterilización, indicadores, despacho en una sola plataforma clara, intuitiva y accionable para la central de esterilización.

Bionova Q: el software de gestión del DPE que convierte datos en decisiones

Para entender por qué Bionova Q fue el centro de la propuesta de Terragene en el CIBE 2026, hay que entender primero el problema que resuelve. Una central de esterilización moderna genera cientos de datos por turno: ciclos de lavado, parámetros de esterilización, resultados de indicadores químicos y biológicos, trazabilidad de paquetes, control de stock. Pero en la mayoría de las instituciones, esos datos viven en planillas, registros en papel, o sistemas inconexos que hacen imposible una visión integrada del proceso.

Bionova Q es el software de gestión para la central de esterilización (CSSD/DPE) desarrollado por Terragene para resolver exactamente ese problema. No es una herramienta de registro pasivo ni un simple software de trazabilidad: es una plataforma de gestión activa que conecta cada etapa del reprocesamiento en un flujo digital continuo, con evidencia automática y capacidad de auditoría en tiempo real.

Bionova Q: el software de gestión del DPE que convierte datos en decisiones

La participación de Terragene en el III Congreso Iberoamericano de Esterilización no fue un evento más. Fue una apuesta por una conversación de fondo sobre el presente de la gestión de la central de esterilización en Iberoamérica.

El ecosistema Terragene —con Bionova Q como plataforma digital central y Photon como indicador de referencia— representa la convergencia entre la ciencia del reprocesamiento y la tecnología de gestión. No son productos aislados: son piezas de un sistema diseñado para que cada dato generado en el DPE tenga un destino útil.

 “La participación de Terragene reafirma su compromiso con soluciones que ayudan a optimizar procesos a través de información clara, trazable y accionable.” 

El CIBE 2026 fue también una oportunidad de escuchar: los desafíos reales de los equipos de reprocesamiento de Argentina, Colombia, España, Brasil, México y el resto de Iberoamérica. Esas conversaciones en el stand y en el simposio son el insumo más valioso para seguir construyendo soluciones que respondan a lo que la central de esterilización realmente necesita hoy.

CSSD Cleaning Monitoring: Safety & Traceability

Why CSSD Cleaning Monitoring Is Critical

Cleaning is the first and most important step in reprocessing. If organic residues remain on instruments, sterilization may fail regardless of the cycle parameters.

A proper CSSD cleaning monitoring strategy must control all critical variables involved in the washing cycle:

  • Time
  • Temperature
  • Detergent type and concentration
  • Water quality
  • Mechanical action

Given the complexity of these parameters, relying on manual checks is no longer enough. Automated monitoring ensures consistency, repeatability, and compliance.

Challenges in Cleaning Validation

Many CSSDs still face key limitations when validating cleaning processes:

  • No verification of every load and rack
  • Lack of objective and standardized evaluation
  • Limited or no traceability
  • Use of ATP-based systems that do not detect proteins or prions

Protein residues are among the most critical contaminants in medical device reprocessing. Unlike ATP systems, protein-based monitoring solutions allow a more accurate evaluation of cleaning effectiveness—including risks associated with prions.

Advanced CSSD Cleaning Monitoring with Terragene Solutions

A complete CSSD cleaning monitoring approach integrates multiple technologies to ensure performance, hygiene control, and full traceability.

For cleaning performance monitoring, Chemdye® Splat indicators use a specially formulated test soil that simulates organic residues typically found on medical instruments. These highly versatile indicators can be used in both washer-disinfectors and ultrasonic washers, depending on the holder selected, and can be processed with the load or in an empty chamber. They are suitable for both routine monitoring and equipment performance qualification.

For ultrasonic cleaning processes, CDWU & CDWU-Z cavitation indicators combined with holders allow you to evaluate cavitation energy distribution and detect ineffective zones inside the washer. When paired with CAVITEST® auto-reader, results become fully objective, delivering quantifiable data and clear Pass/Fail outcomes.

Cavitest and CDWU-Z – Quick User Guide

After cleaning, surgical instruments must be disinfected to ensure safe subsequent handling and processing. Thermal disinfection with moist heat, is the most common method for disinfection of medical devices in the hospital setting. Thermodisinfection can be specifically monitored using IT27W indicators,

For hygiene monitoring, Terragene introduces advanced protein detection systems such as PRO1 MICRO & PRO1 ENDO, enabling quantitative measurement of protein residues on surfaces and inside cannulated instruments. Together with the MiniPro auto-reader, these systems enable incubation and quantitative readout of protein detection pens such as Chemdye® PRO1 MICRO, designed for the detection of surface proteins and allergens.

PRO1 Micro Hygiene Monitoring System and Bionova MiniPro  auto-reader for the detection and quantification of proteins on surfaces.

 

Finally, all data can be integrated into Bionova® Q CSSD software, enabling real-time monitoring, full traceability, and complete visibility of the reprocessing cycle—from cleaning to sterilization and final release.

Upgrade your CSSD cleaning monitoring strategy with real, measurable results.
