Acupuncture in Germany is primarily practiced by physicians and Heilpraktiker. Most needles are single-use — but reusable cupping sets and accessory instruments still need traceable sterilization.
Acupuncture in Germany is practiced by physicians and Heilpraktiker. For physician practitioners, the general MPBetreibV reprocessing obligations apply. Heilpraktiker are subject to hygiene requirements under the IfSG and the state Hygieneverordnung. Most acupuncture needles are single-use and sterile. For reusable instruments — cupping sets, gua sha tools, moxibustion holders — autoclave sterilization and documented traceability is best practice.

Regulatory guides to help you understand your obligations.
Track reusable instrument sterilization
Log autoclave cycles for cupping sets, gua sha tools, and other reusable instruments. Single-use needles don't need tracking — but everything else does.
Complete traceability per session
Link sterilized instruments to specific autoclave cycles. Maintain a tamper-proof record alongside your patient files.
