AssetLab

Every analyzer in your lab, under control.

One register for every instrument — maintenance, calibration and cover dates that chase you before they lapse — kept up to date by the people who service them.

The problem

Equipment records go wrong quietly

Nothing announces the drift. It surfaces at the worst moment — an assessment, a breakdown, a renewal quotation.

The register lives in a file

One spreadsheet on one laptop, last updated by someone who has since left.

Maintenance happens after the breakdown

The analyzer is serviced after it stops mid-run, with samples already collected.

Contracts lapse unnoticed

The next service visit arrives as a quotation — usually on the most expensive instrument.

The platform

Everything the equipment file needs

Not a generic asset tracker with lab words pasted on — every screen was shaped around how a diagnostic lab runs its instruments.

01

One register, tagged and current

Every instrument identified, labelled and owned by someone.

Equipment register

Asset number, serial, model, manufacturer, department and location for every instrument — the master record an auditor asks for first.

QR & barcode tags

Print a label sheet, stick it on the analyzer. Scanning opens that asset's history, due dates and a one-tap breakdown report.

Movement & handover

Track every shift between benches, departments and custodians, with acceptance sign-off so responsibility is never ambiguous.

Suppliers & service providers

Contacts, response SLAs and ratings, linked to the equipment they supplied and the tickets they attended.

02

Maintenance and cover that don't slip

Schedules, repairs, parts and contracts on one clock.

Preventive maintenance

Frequency-based schedules with category checklists. One open task per plan, rolling forward automatically as work is completed.

Breakdown & repair

Ticket from report to root cause to closure, with response time, parts consumed, service cost and downtime captured on the way.

Spares & consumables

Stock on hand, reorder levels, lot numbers and expiry. Issue parts straight against a repair so consumption is traceable.

Warranty & contracts

Contract type, provider, value and end date — with escalating reminders from sixty days out so cover never lapses unnoticed.

03

See it coming, prove it happened

Early alerts on one board; evidence that prints on demand.

Alerts that arrive early

Maintenance, calibration, warranty, service contract renewal, low stock and ageing breakdowns, ranked by severity on one board.

Calibration & QC

Certificate numbers, traceability, results and next-due dates. Daily QC logged against the instrument that produced it.

Utilization & downtime

Availability, MTBF, MTTR and utilization per instrument — the numbers that tell you what to service, replace or renegotiate.

History & audit trail

Every change recorded with user, timestamp and before/after values. Equipment history prints as a single document.

Getting started

Up and running in an afternoon

1

Add your instruments

Type them in or import the spreadsheet you already have. About ten minutes.

2

Stick on the QR tags

Print a label sheet. A scan opens that instrument on any phone.

3

Get told before it lapses

Maintenance, calibration, service contract and warranty dates chase you, not the other way round.

For labs preparing for accreditation

ISO 15189 clause 6.4 stops being the difficult one

Equipment is where assessments slow down, because it is where records are thinnest. The equipment file stays complete as a by-product of daily work, then prints on demand — identity, acceptance, maintenance, calibration, breakdowns and full history. In Dubai, where the DHA now ties licence renewal to accreditation, that file is what the decision rests on.

What clause 6.4.7 actually asks for →
  • Unique identity and full record for every instrument
  • Acceptance, installation and entry into service on file
  • Maintenance, breakdown and calibration history with traceability
  • Complete audit trail: who did what, when, and what it was before

Common questions

Questions labs ask us

Who is this for — the laboratory or the distributor?

Both. A distributor manages the instruments they have installed across every laboratory they serve. The laboratory gets the equipment file that the service work builds up, which is what an assessor asks to see. Neither side is charged for the other's part.

Will this help with ISO 15189 clause 6.4?

It gives you the records clause 6.4.7 asks for: unique identity, acceptance and installation, maintenance and repair history, calibration with metrological traceability, and the full history each instrument accumulates. Accreditation still needs your own policies, competence records and internal audits — but the equipment file, usually the messiest part, stops being messy.

Do I need a LIMS to use it?

No. AssetLab is standalone and works whether your lab runs on paper, spreadsheets or any LIMS. If you run CrelioHealth, instruments can be linked to their LIMS records.

Is this a CMMS?

It does what a CMMS or medical equipment maintenance software does — preventive schedules, breakdown tickets, calibration tracking, contract reminders — but built only for diagnostic labs, so the records it keeps are the ones an assessor asks to see.
