Worldwide Diagnostics sales increased 0.2 percent on a reported basis in the first quarter, including an unfavorable 4.2 percent effect of foreign exchange, and increased 4.4 percent on an organic basis.
Core Laboratory Diagnostics sales increased 4.1 percent on a reported basis and 9.9 percent on an organic basis in the first quarter. Sales performance in the quarter was led by above-market growth in the U.S. and internationally, where Abbott is achieving continued strong adoption of its Alinity family of innovative and highly differentiated diagnostic instruments.
Molecular Diagnostics sales decreased 8.4 percent on a reported basis in the first quarter, including an unfavorable 3.3 percent effect of foreign exchange, and decreased 5.1 percent on an organic basis. International sales growth in Molecular and Rapid Diagnostics was negatively impacted in the quarter by certain non-governmental organization (NGO) purchasing patterns in Africa. During the quarter, Abbott obtained CE Mark for its Alinity m (molecular) diagnostics system and several testing assays, providing market-leading speed and accuracy to help laboratories meet the growing demand for infectious disease testing.
Point of Care Diagnostics sales decreased 4.8 percent on a reported basis in the first quarter, including an unfavorable 0.6 percent effect of foreign exchange, and decreased 4.2 percent on an organic basis.
Rapid Diagnostics sales decreased 4.0 percent on a reported basis in the first quarter, including an unfavorable 2.6 percent effect of foreign exchange, and decreased 1.4 percent on an organic basis. Strong sales growth in several areas of the business, including cardio-metabolic testing and Abbott's ID-NOW TM infectious disease testing platform, was offset by a difficult comparison versus the first-quarter of 2018 when sales were abnormally high due to a strong flu season.

Established Pharmaceuticals sales decreased 4.9 percent on a reported basis in the first quarter, including an unfavorable 10.3 percent effect of foreign exchange, and increased 5.4 percent on an organic basis.
Key Emerging Markets include India, Brazil, Russia and China along with several additional emerging countries that represent the most attractive long-term growth opportunities for Abbott's branded generics product portfolio. Sales in these geographies decreased 5.2 percent on a reported basis in the first quarter, including an unfavorable 12.5 percent effect of foreign exchange, and increased 7.3 percent on an organic basis led by growth in several markets.
Other sales decreased 4.2 percent on a reported basis in the first quarter, including an unfavorable 3.3 percent effect of foreign exchange, and decreased 0.9 percent on an organic basis. As expected, Other sales growth was negatively impacted in the quarter by the recent discontinuation of a non-core, low-margin supply agreement.

Worldwide Medical Devices sales increased 5.5 percent on a reported basis in the first quarter and increased 9.5 percent on an organic basis, led by double-digit growth in Electrophysiology, Heart Failure, Structural Heart and Diabetes Care.
In Electrophysiology, in January, Abbott announced U.S. FDA approval of its TactiCath Contact Force Ablation Catheter, Sensor Enabled, which is designed to help physicians accurately and effectively treat atrial fibrillation, a form of irregular heartbeat.
In Heart Failure, growth was driven by rapid U.S. market adoption of Abbott's HeartMate 3® left ventricular assist device following FDA approval as a destination (long-term use) therapy in late-2018. In March, Abbott announced data from its MOMENTUM 3 clinical study, the largest randomized controlled trial to assess outcomes in patients receiving a heart pump to treat advanced heart failure, which demonstrated HeartMate 3 improved survival and clinical outcomes in this patient population.
Growth in Structural Heart was broad-based across several areas of the business, including MitraClip, Abbott's market-leading device for the minimally invasive treatment of mitral regurgitation (MR), a leaky heart valve. During the quarter, Abbott received U.S. FDA approval for a new, expanded indication for MitraClip to treat clinically significant secondary MR as a result of underlying heart failure. This new indication significantly expands the number of people with MR that can be treated with the MitraClip device.
In Diabetes Care, sales increased 34.4 percent on a reported basis and 42.0 percent on an organic basis in the first quarter. Sales growth in the quarter was led by FreeStyle® Libre®, Abbott's revolutionary continuous glucose monitoring system, with worldwide sales of $379 million, an increase of 70.2 percent on a reported basis and 80.1 percent on an organic basis versus the prior year. During the quarter, Abbott released real-world data from nearly 500,000 users that shows higher rates of scanning with its FreeStyle Libre system improves glucose control for people living with diabetes.
