As ARD Group Information Technologies Inc., we developed the Sterilization Tracking System (3M Sterilization Tracking System) for 3M Healthcare, with all infrastructure, training, and support provided by ARD Informatics. The solution has been introduced to the global market under the 3M brand through a partnership model.

The system prevents the loss of surgical instruments and mix-ups in surgical sets, ensures safe and accurate sterilization, and enables reliable linkage between patients, surgeries, and infection records through fully digital documentation and traceability.

Each instrument is laser barcoded, allowing all steps—from collection in the operating room to receiving, washing, packaging, sterilization, sterile storage, and delivery—to be monitored and controlled, improving the efficiency of the Central Sterilization Department (CSSD) and minimizing sterilization-related risks for hospitals.
