Sterilization traceability is not just record-keeping — it's a legal obligation with precise requirements. SecuSteri is designed to meet them.
In Ireland, sterilisation requirements vary by profession. Dental practices are held to strict standards by the Dental Council's IPC Code, with HSE and HIQA inspections. Tattoo, piercing, and permanent makeup studios currently operate without specific legislation — but professional standards demand documented sterilisation. SecuSteri is designed to address the compliance needs of every regulated and self-regulating profession.
The Dental Council's IPC Code requires sterilisation records to be maintained and accessible. 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.
Best practice in Ireland — and a requirement under the Dental Council's IPC Code — is to link each sterilised instrument to the autoclave cycle that processed it. SecuSteri establishes this link automatically: every sterilised instrument is connected to its cycle, operator, container, and use-by date. The traceability chain is complete and verifiable.
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 fitness to practise inquiry or HIQA inspection, the complete history of operations is available.
Each operator signs cycles with their personal 4-digit PIN code. This signature individually identifies the person responsible for validating the cycle — essential for professional accountability. The PIN is stored as a cryptographic hash (bcrypt) — even the SecuSteri administrator cannot read it.
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. Your sterilisation history is always accessible — whether for a Dental Council inquiry, a HIQA inspection, or your own quality assurance.
Your data is hosted exclusively in the European Union on the Scaleway Paris infrastructure. It never leaves EU 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.
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.
The paper register remains common in Ireland. But it presents documented risks: missing pages, illegible handwriting, forgotten entries, inability to search quickly, and no backup in case of disaster. SecuSteri eliminates these risks by digitising the entire process while meeting the same professional obligations.
