Reprocessing requirements for surgical dermatology in Austria

Bezirksverwaltungsbehörde · Österreichische Ärztekammer (ÖÄK) · competent Landesärztekammer

Dermatologists in Austria who perform surgical procedures are subject to the ÄK-Hygieneverordnung 2014 (Hyg-VO 2014, 3rd amendment 2022) of the Österreichische Ärztekammer. § 22(8) Hyg-VO requires automatic documentation of sterilization cycles or chemical batch control plus sterile-goods labeling — the legacy exemption for sterilizers without automatic documentation expired on 31 December 2014, current devices must auto-document. Pre-vacuum cycle is required for hollow-lumen instruments (§ 22). External validation is required only on official authority order (§ 25). MPG 2021 and MPBV additionally apply, since dermatology practices are Einrichtungen des Gesundheitswesens.
