1. A method for detecting an impending failure in a networked diagnostic clinical analyzer comprising the steps ofmonitoring a plurality of variables in a plurality of diagnostic clinical analyzers;

  • screening out outliers from values of the plurality of variables;

    deriving a threshold for a first variable from the plurality of variables based on the screened values of the first variable;

    normalizing the values of variables including the first variable selected from the plurality of variables for computing a composite threshold;

    generating the composite threshold using normalized variable values;

    collecting operational data from the networked diagnostic clinical analyzer; and

    generating an alert if the composite threshold is exceeded by the diagnostic clinical analyzer.
