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 in Luxembourg — and how SecuSteri delivers

In Luxembourg, sterilization requirements vary by profession. Tattoo artists, piercers, and permanent makeup practitioners are subject to the Loi du 24 mai 2018 (Memorial A442) and the Règlement grand-ducal du 9 novembre 2018 (Memorial A1048): MyGuichet.lu declaration at least one month before opening, 21-hour hygiene and sanitation training, inspection by officers of police judiciaire. Dental practices operate under the general professional duty (Loi modifiée du 29 avril 1983), the Loi modifiée du 16 janvier 1990 on medical devices, and Regulation (EU) 2017/745 (MDR) — no LU-specific règlement grand-ducal on dental sterilization exists, and the Inspection sanitaire (Direction de la santé) may inspect compliance at any time. Podiatrists, a profession regulated by the Loi du 29 juin 2023 (Annexe 21 — podologue), practice under the no-blood-drawing rule. SecuSteri is designed to address the documentation requirements of every Luxembourg profession.

Tamper-proof sterilization register

The Loi du 24 mai 2018 and the general professional duty require documented protocols accessible during inspections. 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 initialed register, without the risks of torn pages or illegible handwriting.

Instrument-patient-cycle traceability

European sector best practice and Regulation (EU) 2017/745 expect traceability to link the patient, the instruments used, and the autoclave cycle. SecuSteri establishes this link automatically: every sterilized instrument is connected to its cycle, operator, container, and use-by date. The traceability chain is complete and verifiable — ready for an Inspection sanitaire (Direction de la santé) visit, a patient inquiry (LU patient rights), or an inspection by officers of police judiciaire (for tattoo, piercing, and permanent makeup studios).

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, an Inspection sanitaire visit, or a Procureur d'État referral, 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 fundamental requirement for traceable accountability. The PIN is stored as a cryptographic hash (bcrypt) — even the SecuSteri administrator cannot read it.

Compliant data retention

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 sterilization history is always accessible — whether for an Inspection sanitaire (Direction de la santé) visit, an inspection by officers of police judiciaire (for tattoo, piercing, and permanent makeup studios), or your own quality assurance.

Hosted in the EU, GDPR compliant

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. Sterilization records are technical and operational records, distinct from protected patient health data under the LU patient rights framework.

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 accepted. 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.
