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.
