AMRA Medical, a pioneer in MRI-based body composition
analysis, has achieved a significant milestone with the European Union's
Medical Device Regulation (MDR) certification for its AMRA® Profiler 4. This
approval is a testament to the device’s safety and effectiveness, meeting the
stringent requirements set by the 2017/745 (EU) MDR for medical devices in
Europe.
The AMRA® Profiler 4 had already earned FDA 510(k) clearance
in the United States, and now, with the CE mark, it’s clear that AMRA is
setting a high standard across both the EU and U.S. markets. This certification
underscores AMRA's dedication to scientific rigor and innovation as the company
pushes forward in making its MRI-based technologies a staple in clinical
settings.
For clinicians, the AMRA® Profiler 4 offers a detailed look
into body composition, providing essential biomarkers for fat distribution and
muscle composition, including liver fat. This kind of precise data is
invaluable for diagnosing and managing various conditions, offering insights
that are tailored to each patient’s unique profile. The technology, which has
already made significant contributions to metabolic disease research through
AMRA’s Researcher service, is now even closer to being a standard tool in
patient care.
Currently, the AMRA® Profiler 4 is available in the UK, US,
and Canada, with plans to introduce it to the EU market soon. This expansion is
a crucial step in making advanced body composition analysis more accessible to
patients and healthcare providers across the globe.
