Abbott Vascular

Addressing Temperature Excursions and Reducing Total Delivered Cost for an Innovative Combination Therapeutic

Challenge

When Abbott Vascular’s Absorb stents risked non-conformance for temperature when measured by an electronic pass/fail monitor, they called on Modality Solutions to identify the cause, reduce costs of temperature excursions, and assess the cost-benefit of temperature ranges…all before Absorb launched in emerging markets.

Objectives

  1. Thorough risk management and mitigation plan for cold chain
  2. Examine total delivered cost of shipping
  3. Implement process improvements
  4. Provide shipping lane data
  5. Implement new packaging and monitoring technologies

Results

See how Modality Solutions identified temperature excursion reduction opportunities and minimized non-conformance rates.
