Built around the clinical workflow
- 5–240 minute readout across supported sterilization chemistries
- 3-slot compact platform (UG-AR100/200/300) or 8-slot high-throughput platform (UG-AR400–900)
- 7-inch TFT touchscreen, built-in printer and indication light
- Automatic biological indicator recognition and real-time fluorescence monitoring
- USB and LAN connectivity with open protocol for traceability systems
- Self-test, visual/audible alarms and double temperature control
The UG-AR series Auto Reader brings fluorescence-based rapid readout, automatic biological indicator recognition and traceability-ready data into one compact bench-top system. It is designed for sterile processing departments that need a fast, documented release decision for every load.
Fast release with a documented result
UGAIYA Auto Reader uses spectrum analysis to monitor the fluorescence change of Geobacillus stearothermophilus or Bacillus atrophaeus with a specific enzyme. The system rapidly determines whether surviving spores are present, so instruments can move through quarantine without unnecessary delay.
- Results in 5–240 minutes, depending on the biological indicator model
- Compatible with 121 °C gravity and 132–135 °C vacuum steam, EO, LTSF, VH2O2 and formaldehyde cycles
- Self-contained biological indicators reduce cross-contamination risk and support consistent, precise results
- Automatic recognition of supported BIs, with a clear pass/fail result and incubation countdown
- Built-in printer and USB/LAN export for load records, reports and traceability systems
Two platforms for different throughput
| Platform | Models | Slots | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Compact | UG-AR100 / 200 / 300 | 3 | Small CSSD, clinic or satellite sterile service |
| High throughput | UG-AR400 / 500 / 600 / 700 / 800 / 900 | 8 | Central sterile supply departments and high-volume hospitals |
Smart monitoring and traceability
The reader keeps incubation records on board and can associate sterilization and incubation data through its PC software or browser interface. Open communication protocol allows integration with hospital traceability platforms; reports can be customized and printed for each load.
Compatible rapid readout biological indicators

Complete rapid readout system
Pair the reader with UGAIYA rapid readout biological indicators, the UG-AI series incubator for 24–48 hour BIs, and UGPD process challenge devices for lumen and instrument-box validation. UGPD-01 is designed for steam, UGPD-02 for VH2O2, and UGPD-03 for steam, EO and LTSF cycles.
