Due to the corona pandemic, the EU Commission has now decided to set 26 May 2021 as the amended date of implementation of the MDR.

Note about using the software AtmoCONTROL in connection with medical devices

As a manufacturer, Memmert GmbH + Co. KG clearly labels its devices, which are medical devices in the sense of the European legislation. The AtmoCONTROL software is not a medical device. All MEMMERT medical devices can be used for their purpose without the software AtmoCONTROL. AtmoCONTROL is only intended for reading the data logging in conjunction with Memmert GmbH + CO. KG medical devices.
