Use Of Estimates
UseOfEstimates
|
<div style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Times New Roman;">  USE OF ESTIMATES — The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States and necessarily include amounts based on estimates and assumptions by management. Actual results could differ from those amounts. Significant estimates include amounts for sales rebates, income taxes, pension and other post-employment benefits, valuation of intangible assets, litigation, derivative financial instruments, and inventory and accounts receivable exposures. </div> | |

Guarantees Indemnifications And Warranties Policies
GuaranteesIndemnificationsAndWarrantiesPolicies
|
<div style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Times New Roman;"> PRODUCT LIABILITY — Abbott accrues for product liability claims when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be reasonably estimated based on existing information. The liabilities are adjusted quarterly as additional information becomes available. Receivables for insurance recoveries for product liability claims are recorded as assets, on an undiscounted basis, when it is probable that a recovery will be realized. Product liability losses are self-insured. </div> | |

Concentration Risk Credit Risk
ConcentrationRiskCreditRisk
|
<div style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Times New Roman;"> <p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; FONT-FAMILY: times;"><font size="2">CONCENTRATION OF RISK AND GUARANTEES — Due to the nature of its operations, Abbott is not subject to significant concentration risks relating to customers, products or geographic locations. Governmental accounts in Italy, Spain, Greece and Portugal accounted for 12 percent and 16 percent of total net trade receivables as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 respectively. Product warranties are not significant.</font></p> <p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; FONT-FAMILY: times;"><font size="2">        Abbott has no material exposures to off-balance sheet arrangements; no special purpose entities; nor activities, that include non-exchange-traded contracts accounted for at fair value. Abbott has periodically entered into agreements in the ordinary course of business, such as assignment of product rights, with other companies, which has resulted in Abbott becoming secondarily liable for obligations that Abbott was previously primarily liable. Since Abbott no longer maintains a business relationship with the other parties, Abbott is unable to develop an estimate of the maximum potential amount of future payments, if any, under these obligations. Based upon past experience, the likelihood of payments under these agreements is remote. Abbott periodically acquires a business or product rights in which Abbott agrees to pay contingent consideration based on attaining certain thresholds or based on the occurrence of certain events.</font></p> </div> | |
