Corporate Social Responsibility:
- One Blood Test- "A world-changing idea" Abbott's high sensitive troponin-I blood test has been used throughout Europe in emergency rooms to help aid doctors in the diagnosis of a heart attack.
- Filling a big need within the smallest of us: Irie was born prematurely after 27 weeks. She was suffering from a life-threatening congenital defect called a patent ductus arteriosus, or PDA, which is an opening between two blood vessels leading from the heart that is also present in normally developing fetuses. For most of the babies, that opening closes itself soon after birth. But in some cases- primarily in premature babies such as Irie, it fails to close, making it difficult for babies to breathe normally due to an increased flow of blood to the lungs. With Abbott’s Amplatzer Piccolo™ Occluder, the procedure cured her PDA. After the procedure, Irie was able to breathe on her own within three days and was taken off the ventilator.
- New data shows that the use of Abbott's FreeStyle Libre system significantly reduces HBA1C levels in people living with Type 2 Diabetes.
