Why staying on it is a risk

Discontinued monitoring systems put regulated facilities at risk — here is what is at stake.

Support

Vendor support ended — and bioMérieux left the business

bioMérieux ended sales of LabGuard 2 at the end of 2020 and LabGuard 3D at the end of 2022, then terminated support — spare parts, software security updates, and hotline — at the end of 2023. bioMérieux exited the environmental-monitoring business and directed customers to third-party partners (Mirrhia and JRI / MySirius) rather than supporting LabGuard itself.

Security

Built on Adobe Flash, itself end-of-life

LabGuard software versions V1.3 / V1.4 / V1.5 relied on Adobe Flash Player Standalone, and bioMérieux confirmed that support for those Flash-based versions ended at the end of June 2022. Adobe Flash is itself end-of-life, so any un-migrated LabGuard 2 or 3D install is running an obsolete, unsupported runtime.

Compliance

Audit exposure under 21 CFR Part 11 / GxP

Running vendor-unsupported monitoring software — built on an end-of-life Flash runtime — as a system of record for temperature and environmental data is difficult to defend in an FDA or Health Canada inspection, where data integrity and system validation are scrutinized.

Spare parts

No spare parts, handed to a French third party

With LabGuard support ended, ongoing continuity for LabGuard 2 and 3D transmitters depends on third-party providers in France (Mirrhia for continuity, JRI / MySirius as a migration target) rather than the original manufacturer — a supply chain you no longer control.

Your migration path to ATEK

ATEK replaces LabGuard with a modern, cloud-native monitoring platform that bioMérieux no longer offers — backed by a Canadian-based team, included A2LA-accredited calibration, and all-inclusive per-point pricing. We run in parallel with your existing LabGuard system so compliance coverage never lapses during the cutover.

Modern, maintained platform

Continuously updated, cloud-native platform built for 21 CFR Part 11 — no frozen software and no end-of-life Adobe Flash runtime on your network.

Canadian local support

24/7 monitoring specialists with a guaranteed 5-minute live response and bilingual (EN/FR) support — and Canadian data hosting under PIPEDA, not a French third-party hotline.

Calibration included

In-house A2LA-accredited calibration with NIST-traceable certificates bundled in — no separate calibration contracts to manage.

All-inclusive pricing

Hardware, platform, calibration, validation and support in one per-monitoring-point rate — no surprise migration or re-platform invoices.

How the migration works

  1. 1

    Inventory & assessment

    We map every LabGuard 2 and LabGuard 3D monitoring point, alarm rule, and compliance report so nothing is lost in translation.

  2. 2

    Parallel deployment

    ATEK sensors install alongside your LabGuard system and run simultaneously through the validation window — continuous documentation, zero gap.

  3. 3

    Validation (IQ/OQ/PQ)

    Included qualification protocols demonstrate the new system meets or exceeds your existing compliance requirements.

  4. 4

    Decommission

    Once ATEK is validated, your unsupported LabGuard installation is retired — taking the obsolete Flash runtime off your network with it.

Understanding the LabGuard end-of-support

bioMérieux’s LabGuard range was, for years, a common choice for hospitals, pharmacies, and life-science laboratories tracking temperature and environmental conditions. That changed when bioMérieux wound the product line down and ultimately exited the environmental-monitoring business.

The retirement happened in stages. bioMérieux ended sales of LabGuard 2 at the end of 2020 and LabGuard 3D at the end of 2022. It then terminated support — spare parts, software security updates, and hotline — at the end of 2023. Rather than continue supporting LabGuard itself, bioMérieux directed customers to third-party partners: Mirrhia for continuity of existing LabGuard 2 and 3D transmitters, and JRI / MySirius as a migration target.

For facilities that depend on LabGuard as a compliance system of record, that combination — the manufacturer leaving the category plus an explicit end of support — is the definition of an obsolete platform that needs to be replaced, not maintained.

The Adobe Flash problem

LabGuard’s software added a second, technical obsolescence. The LabGuard software versions V1.3 / V1.4 / V1.5 relied on Adobe Flash Player Standalone, and bioMérieux confirmed that support for those Flash-based versions ended at the end of June 2022. Adobe Flash is itself end-of-life and no longer receives security updates from Adobe.

Any LabGuard 2 or 3D install that has not been migrated is therefore running an unsupported application on top of an obsolete, unpatched runtime — a security and validation concern that does not improve with time.

Handed to a French third party

The path bioMérieux laid out keeps your monitoring dependent on third parties in France: Mirrhia to keep existing LabGuard transmitters running, or JRI / MySirius to control LabGuard 3D devices and recover historical LabGuard 2 and 3D data. Those are real continuity options — but they extend the life of a discontinued platform rather than replacing it, and they put your support and data continuity in the hands of a third party an ocean away.

If you are being asked to migrate anyway, it is the right moment to evaluate a genuinely modern, independently supported system rather than another lap around the same end-of-life lifecycle.

Migrating to ATEK without a compliance gap

ATEK’s approach is built around continuity. We inventory every LabGuard 2 and LabGuard 3D monitoring point, alarm configuration, and reporting workflow, then deploy ATEK sensors in parallel so both systems capture data simultaneously through the validation window. Included IQ/OQ/PQ documentation demonstrates equivalence or improvement, and only once ATEK is validated is your LabGuard installation decommissioned — taking the obsolete Flash runtime off your network with it.

The replacement is all-inclusive: a continuously maintained, 21 CFR Part 11-ready cloud platform, in-house A2LA-accredited calibration with NIST-traceable certificates, Canadian data hosting under PIPEDA, and a Canadian-based team available 24/7 with a five-minute live-response guarantee and bilingual support.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is bioMérieux LabGuard still supported?

No. bioMérieux ended sales of LabGuard 2 at the end of 2020 and LabGuard 3D at the end of 2022, and terminated support — spare parts, security updates, and hotline — at the end of 2023. bioMérieux directs LabGuard customers to third-party partners (Mirrhia and JRI / MySirius).

What replaces bioMérieux LabGuard?

bioMérieux exited environmental monitoring and points customers to French third parties (Mirrhia for transmitter continuity, JRI / MySirius as a migration target). ATEK offers a modern, fully supported, Canadian-based alternative with included calibration and 24/7 support — instead of staying on an unsupported platform.

Why is staying on LabGuard a compliance risk?

LabGuard 2 and 3D software versions ran on Adobe Flash, which is end-of-life, and bioMérieux ended support at the end of 2023. Running vendor-unsupported software on an obsolete runtime as a system of record is hard to defend in a GxP or FDA 21 CFR Part 11 inspection.

Can ATEK migrate our LabGuard data and monitoring points without downtime?

Yes. ATEK deploys in parallel with your LabGuard 2 and 3D system and runs both simultaneously through validation, so compliance documentation is continuous and there is no monitoring gap during the cutover.
