Why SecuSteri is a compliance tool

Sterilization traceability is not just record-keeping — it's a legal obligation with precise requirements. SecuSteri is designed to meet them.

What the law requires — and how SecuSteri meets it

In France, inspectors from the ARS (Agence Regionale de Sante — Regional Health Authority), the ONPP (Ordre National des Pedicures-Podologues — National Order of Podiatrists), and the CPAM (Caisse Primaire d'Assurance Maladie — Primary Health Insurance Fund) check specific points during an audit. SecuSteri is designed to address every one of them.

Tamper-proof sterilization register

French law requires a complete register that is accessible during an inspection. SecuSteri generates a traceability record for each cycle, digitally signed by the operator with their PIN code. Once signed, the record is locked — no modifications are possible. It is the digital equivalent of a bound and initialled register, without the risks of torn pages or illegible handwriting.

Instrument-patient-cycle traceability

The ONPP requires traceability linking the patient, the instruments used, and the autoclave cycle. The ARS requires a record for each cycle. SecuSteri establishes this link automatically: every sterilized instrument is connected to its cycle, operator, container, and use-by date. The chain is complete and verifiable.

Append-only audit trail

Every significant action in SecuSteri is recorded in a tamper-proof audit log: who did what, when, and on which record. This log is append-only — technically impossible to modify or delete, even by an administrator. In the event of a dispute or inspection, the complete history of operations is available.

Digital PIN signing

Each operator signs cycles with their personal 4-digit PIN code. This signature individually identifies the person responsible for validating the cycle — a regulatory requirement for traceable accountability. The PIN is stored as a cryptographic hash (bcrypt) — even the SecuSteri administrator cannot read it.

Compliant data retention

In France, podiatrists must keep their registers for 5 years. Dentists must link cycles to patient records. SecuSteri automatically retains your data according to your plan duration: 5 years (Standard), 10 years (Pro), unlimited (Clinic+). No risk of loss, fire, or water damage.

Hosted in France, GDPR compliant

Your data is hosted exclusively in France on the Scaleway Paris infrastructure. It never leaves French territory. The transfer between your browser and our servers is encrypted (TLS). Data at rest is encrypted. SecuSteri is GDPR compliant: right of access, right to data portability, right to erasure. We never sell your data and never use it for advertising purposes.

Data export at any time

You can request a complete export of all your data (cycles, instruments, autoclaves, audit log) as a zipped CSV archive, delivered by email. The export covers your plan's retention window. Your data belongs to you — you can retrieve it at any time.

SecuSteri vs the paper register

The paper register remains legally accepted in France. But it presents documented risks during inspections: missing pages, illegible handwriting, forgotten entries, inability to search quickly, and no backup in case of disaster. SecuSteri eliminates these risks by digitizing the entire process while meeting the same regulatory obligations.
