Podologen are subject to the same MPBetreibV reprocessing requirements as dentists. SecuSteri provides the digital batch documentation that distinguishes a regulated healthcare professional from cosmetic foot care.
Podologen hold a protected professional title under the Podologengesetz (PodG, 2001). As healthcare professionals using reusable instruments — scalpels, nippers, curettes, burrs — they are subject to the MPBetreibV reprocessing requirements, the same as dental practices. This means documented reprocessing procedures, batch documentation, daily sterilizer tests, and 5-year record retention. The Gesundheitsamt can also inspect podiatry practices under IfSG §36(2). Podologe is a GKV-reimbursable healthcare profession — your documentation should reflect this professional standard.
