Resumen

La tuberculosis es una enfermedad milenaria que aún representa una amenaza para la salud pública a nivel mundial. Las terapias disponibles y las mejores condiciones higiénicas contribuyen a su control en sistemas sanitarios consolidados. Sin embargo, con la aparición de nuevas enfermedades respiratorias infecciosas, la prevención y el diagnóstico oportuno constituyen la intervención más eficaz. El Perú es el segundo país con el mayor número de casos de tuberculosis en el mundo. Los principales desafíos en el tamizaje incluyen el cumplimiento de la bioseguridad durante la recolección, transporte y recepción de las muestras en los centros de diagnóstico. Identificamos necesidades de mejora y las etapas críticas del proceso actual de recolección de esputo para proponer un rediseño del contenedor que optimice su uso tanto para los pacientes como para el personal de salud. Un esfuerzo colaborativo, con la retroalimentación de los usuarios y los fabricantes, nos permitió optimizar las dimensiones y la geometría, mejorar el sistema de cierre y la bioseguridad general, logrando además una reducción del 20% en el costo de material.
