Abaxis (Zoetis) Integration

Abaxis Fuse Installation

1. Abaxis will begin by installing the Abaxis Fuse device in the practice. This small, rectangular box allows Vetspire to connect directly to the Abaxis devices. More information about the Fuse can be found on the Abaxis website: https://www.abaxis.com/veterinary/products/vetscan-fuse

2. Retrieve the Fuse URL, Username, and Password from Abaxis directly. The Fuse URL will be several numbers unique to each practice. The default Username and Password are Admin for signing in to the Fuse URL. These will differ from the username and password entered during the Vetspire Integration.
