Njord announce that it fulfils the requirements of the Regulation (EU) 2017/745 (MDR) and associated CE marking. Additionally, CB-certificate demonstrating conformity with 60601-1 Medical Electric Equipment has been issued by Intertek.

At Radiology departments there can be above 150,000 patient transfers done on a yearly basis. The transfers are conducted by up to five healthcare professionals, patients experience it as unpleasant, healthcare professionals derive stress and work-related injuries, and hospitals suffer from unbalanced throughput from the X-ray machines. Problems targeted by the novel patient transfer device Atle® 180.
Accelerated marketing and commercialisation across the first prioritised markets to follow.
