we solve problems before they start.
To thrive in the changing healthcare environment, laboratories can't afford unexpected instrument downtime. Previously, diagnostics service has relied on you reporting an issue, oftentimes when an instrument is already down. We have realized instrument downtime can be avoided. Instead of calling us, now we call you to resolve issues before they occur.

Active Sense Technologies
Powerful, predictive alerts
Always On Active Sense Technologies watch over your lab’s instrument health. Real-time information is accessed from multiple sensors within Abbott instruments and collected through AbbottLINK®. The data is analyzed utilizing machine learning, a subset of artificial intelligence, to identify signs of instrument early malfunction that would otherwise go unnoticed.
Predictive maintenance is also performed throughout the life of your instrument to ensure complete, high-quality performance as long as the instrument is active in your lab. Our total-call solution requires our field service engineers to do a multipoint inspection of overall instrument health during each visit, which further supports avoiding risks of unnecessary downtime in the future.
Abbott has one of the most extensive instrument health databases in the industry because we have been collecting data for over 19 years and have analyzed over 5 billion records. The result? Active Sense Technologies can share alerts that enable predictive service ahead of equipment failure.
AbbottLINK Remote Diagnostics enables teams of experts across multiple disciplines to monitor instrument health in real time via secure remote connections. Actionable, data-driven insights are available through Virtual Presence, a feature that allows our Resourceful Advocates to analyze, diagnose and fix issues remotely — which helps labs manage costs and increase efficiency.
