The 2017/745 (EU) MDR outlines the European regulations for medical devices and contains requirements, e.g., on the production, distribution, evaluation, and surveillance of medical devices. Manufacturers of medical devices must ensure compliance to MDR prior to bringing a medical device to the EU market. These requirements ensure that a medical device placed on the European market is both safe and effective for use by patients and providers.
The certificate comes as a successor to AMRA® Profiler 4’s 510(k) clearance by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), comfortably meeting the high standards for both EU and US markets in the push for increased use of AMRA’s cutting-edge body composition analysis methodologies in the clinic. Now that AMRA® Profiler 4 is CE marked, the device’s conformity with European MDR General Safety and Performance Requirements is clear. AMRA consistently demonstrates robust scientific methods and maturity in product development as they continue to take key steps in clinically translating their exciting MRI-based technologies.
AMRA® Profiler 4 provides clinicians with fat distribution, e.g., liver fat, and muscle composition biomarkers that comprise a detailed body composition profile to assist in diagnosis. Implemented right at the clinic, AMRA® Profiler 4 provides rapid and precise body composition measurements in relation to normative data, contextualizing insights at the individual patient level, with high accuracy. The AMRA biomarkers underlying this technology have proven to be useful in metabolic disease research efforts using the AMRA® Researcher service, and AMRA® Profiler 4’s recent MDR certification brings these powerful and unique biomarkers one step closer to patients everywhere.
Currently, AMRA® Profiler 4 is fully available through AMRA’s service provision in the UK, US, and Canada - with plans to roll out the product in the EU in the future following this MDR certificate milestone. If you or your organization are based in the currently cleared markets and would like to know more about bringing AMRA® Profiler 4 to your clinic, please contact info@amramedical.com.

Study: Heatwaves Increase Cough Urge, Which Salt Aerosols Reduce15.9.2026 15:15:00 CEST | Press release
New Study Indicates Non-Pharmacological Aerosol May Provide Therapeutic Relief for Respiratory Conditions Provoked by the Atmospheric Aridity Inherent to Heatwaves SC Therapeutics, with University North Carolina, Imperial College London, and Boston University, announced publication on Tuesday in Nature Scientific Reports of results from a multi-institutional study indicating that the aridity inherent in heatwaves increases cough hypersensitivity in human airways by collapsing mucus onto cilia in a manner common to chronic respiratory diseases, such as cystic fibrosis, and asthma. The researchers find that alkaline aerosols of magnesium salts reverse mucosal collapse for several hours, and reduce cough hypersensitivity as reflected in placebo-adjusted suppression of daily cough bout rate (59%, p=0.03) and persistence of suppression post treatment for 1 to 3 weeks in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of 10 refractory chronic cough patients. “Paris recorded 5,764 excess
