Certification
The Leva is designed and manufactured by Armon Products in the Netherlands. It is certified as a Class I medical device with CE marking and complies with the strict requirements of the Medical Device Regulation (EU) MDR 2017/745. The Leva has been extensively tested for safety, durability and load capacity.
In contrast, most passive arm supports, such as the Ergorest, Fuzadel, and RELEX RT1, do not carry any formal certification.
