In Italy, acupuncture is a medical act reserved for licensed physicians. Single-use needles are the standard, but for practitioners using reusable accessory instruments or documenting their practice as part of a quality system, SecuSteri delivers the professional traceability you need.
In Italy, acupuncture is classified as a medical act and is exclusively practiced by licensed physicians registered with the Albo dei Medici Chirurghi. It is not an independent profession. Practice typically uses single-use sterile needles — eliminating most traceable sterilization needs. However, acupuncture practices are healthcare facilities and therefore subject to D.Lgs 81/2008 Title X for any reusable instrument (hammers, lamps, reusable cupping equipment). The ISPESL Linee Guida and UNI/TR 11408 apply by analogy. Sterilization documentation, even at low volume, is part of the facility's quality system.

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.
Simple enough for a solo practice
Most acupuncture practices are solo. SecuSteri is designed to be fast — import, sign, label in under a minute.
These instruments come pre-loaded when you create your account. You can add, edit, or remove instruments at any time.
W&H, Castellini, and Anthos reports are imported automatically via AutoReport or manual upload. Other brands? Upload the report or enter cycle data manually — we add automatic support progressively.
