Reprocessing documentation for dental practices in Germany

KRINKO/BfArM-compliant documentation creates Vermutungswirkung under MPBetreibV §8(2) — your reprocessing is legally presumed proper. SecuSteri replaces paper batch records with a tamper-proof digital archive.

What MPBetreibV and KRINKO require from dental practices

Gesundheitsamt (local health authority) · Landeszahnärztekammer

The Medizinprodukte-Betreiberverordnung (MPBetreibV, revised February 2025) mandates documented reprocessing procedures for all medical devices. §8(2) creates a Vermutungswirkung — a legal presumption that your reprocessing is proper when you follow the KRINKO/BfArM Recommendation 2012. This recommendation requires batch documentation (Chargendokumentation), daily Bowie-Dick/Helix tests, regular biological controls, and instrument risk classification (Unkritisch through Kritisch B). Records must be retained for 5 years. The Gesundheitsamt conducts announced and unannounced inspections.

How SecuSteri helps

Instrument-level traceability

Go beyond simple cycle logging. Track which specific instruments were in each autoclave load and link them to patient records via QR-coded labels.

Automatic report import

Upload your autoclave's PDF report — SecuSteri extracts the cycle data automatically. Currently supports W&H Lisa, Castellini, and Anthos with more brands added regularly.

Multi-user for group practices

Invite your dental assistants as team members. Each person signs cycles with their own PIN — individual accountability in a shared practice.

Always ready for inspection

Every signed cycle is tamper-proof and instantly accessible. Present your complete sterilization history on a tablet during any inspection.
