Strategic priorities
ABMedSerwis is a Polish medical device service company operating as the exclusive authorised service partner for Guerbet (France) and Sechrist (US) medical devices in Poland. The company maintains a Twin-Hub model: administrative headquarters in Ostrołęka and a technical operations centre in Stara Iwiczna near Warsaw, with a single-digit engineering team providing national coverage for Guerbet Illumena Neo and OptiVantage contrast media injectors, and Sechrist hyperbaric chambers.
The primary revenue model is transactional hardware repair: engineers are dispatched to hospital sites when a device fails, travel costs are billed to clients, and service reports are filed on paper before invoicing. Participation in the V-Wave RELIEVE-HF cardiovascular clinical trial (as technical partner for Class III investigational devices) adds a layer of regulatory complexity requiring device chain-of-custody documentation that manual processes strain to provide.
The strategic challenge is that OEMs are deploying direct-to-hospital remote monitoring solutions that threaten to disintermediate service providers who cannot offer equivalent digital capabilities. ABMedSerwis's own website contains a placeholder IT Solutions page — signalling intent without execution. The transition from transactional repair to uptime assurance requires connecting the injector fleet, providing fleet visibility, and giving hospital clients a digital interface.

-
04
Digital Service Evolution
Transforming from transactional hardware repair into data-driven uptime assurance by building IT solutions for hospitals — starting with remote diagnostics, fleet monitoring, and a digital client interface.
Challenges we see
- Digital Strategic
OEM disintermediation risk from direct-to-hospital remote monitoring
Guerbet and Sechrist are deploying direct-to-hospital remote monitoring solutions for their contrast media injectors and hyperbaric chambers. If hospitals can get remote diagnostics and maintenance support directly from the OEM, the value proposition of an independent authorised service partner is significantly reduced.
When an OEM remote monitoring solution is available for the same device that ABMedSerwis services, a hospital procurement team has a direct alternative that requires no travel cost billing negotiations and offers a vendor-managed service experience — threatening the revenue base of the authorised service model.
- Operations Logistics
Six-hour round trips for one-hour repairs eroding service margins
A single-digit engineering team covers the national territory from a Warsaw-area base. Travel to distant sites in Rzeszów requires six or more hours of round-trip driving for repairs that may take one hour on site. Travel costs are a contested item in public tender negotiations, with clients resistant to reimbursing 750 PLN of travel cost.
When the travel cost per service event exceeds the repair revenue for distant sites, the economics of national coverage deteriorate. The engineering team's capacity is consumed by drive time rather than productive repair work, limiting the number of sites a single team can effectively cover.
- Operations Administrative
Paper service reports creating invoicing delays across the Twin-Hub
The Ostrołęka office handles administration while technical operations run from Stara Iwiczna. Service reports are completed on paper at hospital sites and must physically travel between locations before invoicing can be initiated — creating Days Sales Outstanding latency and administrative overhead.
When invoicing depends on paper documents travelling between two sites, the accounts receivable cycle extends by the mail transit time. An engineer who completes a repair on Monday may not have the report back to Ostrołęka until the following week.
- Compliance Regulatory
EU MDR post-market surveillance requirements straining paper-based Technical Passport records
Polish law requires physical Technical Passport documentation for every medical device, recording every inspection and repair. EU Medical Device Regulation demands tighter post-market surveillance and vigilance reporting that paper-based records cannot adequately support — particularly for devices enrolled in clinical trials with Class III investigational status.
When a Technical Passport for a device enrolled in the V-Wave RELIEVE-HF trial is maintained on paper, the chain-of-custody documentation required by the clinical trial protocol depends on the completeness of handwritten records — a standard that regulatory inspectors increasingly consider insufficient.
- Digital Strategic
IT Solutions page with placeholder text undermining digital credibility
The company website includes an IT Solutions page that signals intent to offer digital services to hospital clients, but the page contains Lorem Ipsum placeholder text — visible evidence that the digital service capability does not yet exist.
When a hospital procurement team researching ABMedSerwis finds a placeholder IT Solutions page, the immediate conclusion is that digital capability is aspirational rather than operational. This undermines credibility precisely with the digitally-sophisticated hospital clients who would be the first customers for uptime assurance services.
Opportunities, by urgency and business impact
Each bubble is one opportunity, numbered to match the list below. Further right means it bites sooner; higher means a bigger effect on the business. A bigger bubble means a bigger implementation effort.
-
Remote diagnostics for the national injector fleet
Engineers travel nationally for service calls that could potentially be diagnosed or resolved remotely, with travel costs creating friction in public tender negotiations and client relationships.
Deploy secure IoT gateways on the Guerbet injector fleet using existing RS-232 and LAN ports to enable remote diagnostics — transforming reactive dispatches into remote resolution events and providing telemetry data that predicts failures before they occur.
- Guerbet Illumena Neo and OptiVantage remote monitoring specifications
- Public tender travel cost disputes in Polish hospital procurement
-
Fleet dashboard for predictive dispatching
The owner has no centralised view of the operational status of all maintained devices across Poland, preventing predictive dispatching and proactive maintenance scheduling.
Create a fleet dashboard providing real-time status of every maintained injector across Poland, enabling predictive dispatching when telemetry indicates an impending failure — so that an engineer visiting a nearby site can handle a predicted issue at a second site in the same trip.
- ABMedSerwis national maintenance contract scope
- Guerbet injector fleet size in Poland
-
Digital customer portal replacing phone and email
Hospital clients have no digital interface for service requests, status tracking, or document access, forcing all interactions through phone calls and email to an overloaded office manager.
Build a branded customer portal enabling QR-code service requests, live status tracking, and digital Technical Passport archives — making ABMedSerwis the default digital choice for hospital device management rather than a transactional repair provider.
- ABMedSerwis client base and service interaction volume
- Hospital procurement digital requirements in Polish health system
-
Mobile field service management for engineer productivity
Field engineers operate independently with direct client contact, bypassing central dispatch and preventing data capture on issue frequency, resolution times, and parts consumption — limiting the business intelligence available to improve service operations.
Implement a tablet-based field service application enabling engineers to capture service data, generate compliant documentation, and sync with central systems in real time — eliminating the paper report transit delay and building the data foundation for fleet analytics.
- ABMedSerwis field engineering team size and coverage model
- Paper service report workflow documentation
-
Clinical trial device logistics and chain-of-custody platform
Participation in V-Wave RELIEVE-HF requires sophisticated device tracking and chain-of-custody documentation that manual processes struggle to maintain at the quality required for regulatory submissions.
Build a GDPR-compliant device logistics and chain-of-custody tracking platform supporting investigational medical device clinical trials, positioning ABMedSerwis as a Clinical Data Node capable of supporting regulatory submissions for future CRO contracts.

What we'd propose
- Digital CDMO
Connected Device Fleet Platform for Remote Diagnostics
We deploy a secure IoT monitoring layer across the Guerbet injector fleet using existing RS-232 and LAN ports to enable real-time telemetry, remote diagnostics, and predictive maintenance alerts — transforming reactive dispatch from the Warsaw base into a data-driven uptime assurance model.
-
IoT gateway deployment on Guerbet injectors
Deploy validated IoT gateways on the Guerbet Illumena Neo and OptiVantage fleet that capture operational telemetry — pressure readings, error codes, usage counters — and transmit them securely to the fleet monitoring platform, giving engineers a remote view of device health before deciding whether a physical dispatch is necessary.
-
Remote diagnostics for common fault codes
Build a remote diagnostics capability that covers the 15 most common fault codes for the Guerbet injector platform, enabling an engineer to assess the issue, determine the required parts, and guide the hospital site staff through a resolution — without driving to the site.
-
Predictive maintenance alerts
Configure anomaly detection on the injector telemetry data that issues alerts when usage patterns or error frequency suggest an impending failure — enabling proactive dispatch that schedules the repair before the device goes down during a clinical procedure.
- Travel cost per service event is reduced because the majority of dispatches are converted to remote resolutions — the engineering team's capacity is multiplied without adding headcount.
- The first remote resolution rate improves with each resolved fault code, building a knowledge base that makes the remote diagnostics engine progressively more capable over time.
- Predictive maintenance alerts prevent device downtime during clinical procedures, protecting hospital client relationships and avoiding the emergency dispatch premium.
-
- Digital Lab
Digital Customer Portal for Hospital Device Management
We build a branded customer portal that replaces the placeholder IT Solutions page with a fully functional service management interface — enabling QR-code service requests, live engineer dispatch tracking, and digital Technical Passport archives that hospital clients can access directly rather than requesting via phone or email.
-
QR-code service request system
Deploy QR code labels on every maintained device that hospital staff can scan to open a service request — pre-populated with device serial number, location, and fault description — reducing the service request intake from a phone call to a 60-second mobile interaction.
-
Live dispatch tracking
Configure the portal to show real-time engineer dispatch status — including location, estimated arrival time, and resolution notes — so that the hospital site coordinator is not left waiting without information after a service call is logged.
-
Digital Technical Passport archive
Migrate the historical paper Technical Passport records for every maintained device into a digital archive accessible through the portal — providing the hospital with a complete, searchable service history that satisfies Polish regulatory requirements and EU MDR post-market surveillance documentation.
- The office manager's inbox is reduced because service requests shift from phone and email to a structured digital channel — freeing capacity for higher-value administrative work.
- Hospital clients become dependent on the portal for device management, making ABMedSerwis sticky rather than interchangeable in procurement renewals.
- The Technical Passport archive eliminates the risk of paper document loss and provides the evidence base for EU MDR post-market surveillance reporting.
-
- Digital Lab
Mobile Field Service Management Application
We implement a tablet-based field service application that enables engineers to capture service data, generate digitally-signed and timestamped documentation, and sync with central systems in real time — eliminating the paper report transit delay and building the data foundation for fleet analytics.
-
Mobile service documentation
Deploy a tablet application that guides the engineer through the service report structure, captures parts used from a pre-populated inventory list, and obtains the hospital recipient's digital signature on site — producing a completed service record before the engineer leaves the site.
-
Real-time sync with Twin-Hub systems
Configure the mobile app to sync completed service reports to the Ostrołęka administrative system immediately upon signature — eliminating the mail transit delay that currently extends the invoicing cycle by a week.
-
Field data for fleet analytics
Build a data pipeline that aggregates completed service reports into the fleet analytics platform — enabling the identification of devices with high repair frequency, parts with elevated failure rates, and sites with patterns of misuse — data that was previously inaccessible because it lived in paper reports.
- Invoicing is accelerated by up to a week because the paper report transit delay is eliminated — directly improving Days Sales Outstanding and cash flow.
- The engineering team's service event data becomes structured and queryable, enabling the business intelligence to drive predictive dispatching and parts inventory optimisation.
- The digital service record satisfies the Technical Passport requirements for Polish medical device regulation without requiring retrospective transcription.
-
- Enterprise AI
Unified Operations Hub for the Twin-Hub Model
We build a centralised operations management platform that bridges the Ostrołęka administrative node and the Stara Iwiczna technical operations centre — providing real-time data synchronisation, unified dispatch visibility, and a single source of truth for service status across both locations.
-
Centralised dispatch and scheduling
Implement a centralised dispatch platform that gives the Ostrołęka office and the Stara Iwiczna operations team the same real-time view of engineer locations, open service requests, and scheduled visits — enabling coordinated dispatch that maximises the efficiency of each engineering trip.
-
Parts inventory synchronisation
Connect the parts inventory at Stara Iwiczna to the administrative system in Ostrołęka, so that when an engineer needs a specific spare part, the office can confirm availability immediately rather than waiting for a callback from the technical operations centre.
-
Client SLA monitoring
Configure service level agreement tracking across all hospital maintenance contracts, with automated alerts when response time SLAs are at risk of breach — giving the Ostrołęka management team the visibility to proactively manage client relationships rather than discovering SLA misses reactively.
- The Twin-Hub model begins to operate as one coherent business rather than two separate offices that happen to share an owner — with shared dispatch, inventory, and client visibility.
- SLA performance improves because Ostrołęka management has real-time visibility into response time compliance rather than discovering misses at the monthly review.
- The unified hub provides the operational data infrastructure for the customer portal, ensuring that the portal data reflects the actual state of the operation rather than a separate system.

Clinical Trial Device Logistics Platform for V-Wave RELIEVE-HF
We build a GDPR-compliant device logistics and chain-of-custody tracking platform for the V-Wave RELIEVE-HF clinical trial — providing the automated documentation trail required for regulatory submissions and positioning ABMedSerwis as a Clinical Data Node for future CRO partnerships.
-
Device chain-of-custody tracking
Implement a chain-of-custody tracking system that records each physical movement of a V-Wave investigational device — site transfers, storage changes, maintenance events — with timestamps, GPS location, and responsible party identification, satisfying the trial protocol documentation requirements.
-
Automated trial documentation generation
Build a reporting engine that generates the required clinical trial documentation from the structured chain-of-custody records — including device maintenance history, usage logs, and deviation reports — reducing the manual assembly effort that currently makes trial reporting unpredictable.
-
GDPR-compliant data sharing with CRO
Configure a data sharing layer that allows the trial sponsor and CRO to access relevant device tracking data under a GDPR-compliant data processing agreement — demonstrating ABMedSerwis's capability as a reliable data node in the clinical trial supply chain.
- The V-Wave RELIEVE-HF trial documentation is generated from structured records rather than assembled retrospectively from paper logs, reducing the compliance risk that documentation gaps will affect the trial outcome.
- ABMedSerwis's demonstrated capability as a Clinical Data Node opens a new business development channel — future CRO contracts that require local device logistics and data management expertise.
- The chain-of-custody platform can be extended to other clinical trial devices in the ABMedSerwis portfolio, making every investigational device a potential recurring data services contract.
-
Digital maturity: today and target
Scored out of 100 across six dimensions. The target is what ABMedSerwis Sp. z o.o.'s own published ambition implies — not a perfect score.
- Remote Connectivity 15 → 75
- The Guerbet injector fleet is not connected to any remote monitoring platform. Diagnostics require physical presence at the hospital site. The RS-232 and LAN ports on the Illumena Neo exist but are not used for telemetry — the first IoT gateway installation will be the foundational data event for the entire uptime assurance model.
- Customer Experience 20 → 80
- Hospital clients interact with ABMedSerwis by phone and email. No digital service request channel exists; no service history portal exists; no real-time dispatch tracking exists. The placeholder IT Solutions page signals intent but not delivery.
- Field Operations 25 → 85
- Field engineers complete paper service reports on site and submit them by mail to Ostrołęka. The Twin-Hub data synchronisation is manual. There is no centralised dispatch system — engineers manage their own routes based on individual client calls.
- Data Integration 20 → 75
- Service event data lives in paper reports that must be manually entered into any analytics system. There is no structured data pipeline from field operations to business intelligence — the data that would enable predictive dispatching is inaccessible because it is captured on paper.
- Regulatory Compliance 35 → 80
- Technical Passport records are maintained on paper per Polish legal requirements. EU MDR post-market surveillance reporting depends on retrospective manual compilation of paper records. The chain-of-custody documentation for the V-Wave RELIEVE-HF trial uses manual logs that may not meet the evidentiary standard required by the trial protocol.
- Business Intelligence 15 → 70
- No structured data exists on device failure frequency, engineer utilisation, parts consumption rates, or SLA performance. Business decisions — including whether to accept distant site maintenance contracts — are made without the quantitative intelligence that would clarify the true cost of service delivery.
