Each original accessory from Dräger doesn't just fulfil all the official quality standards, it is also measured with the strict internal quality standards at Dräger accredited Test Center. It takes about 100,000 load cycle tests before a consumable or accessory is available for our customers.

In addition to these tests, we also test the accessories which are developed to be used with the device, but also our consumable portfolio for compatibility with its medical devices. This is done in order to improve consistent operational performance and to reduce compatibility risk, thus ensuring patient safety.

In order to improve consistent operational performance, to unlock the full potential of your equipment and to reduce compatibility risk thus ensuring patient safety, Dräger not only tests the accessories which are developed to be used with the device, but also its consumable portfolio for compatibility with its medical devices. A Declaration of Compatibility certifies that a certain product has been tested in combination with the corresponding device.

Accessories are tested with Dräger medical devices accord­ing to IEC 60601-2-13 and EN ISO 8835. Only use Dräger approved accessories and consumables with Dräger devices, otherwise the correct functioning and performance might be compromised.

“As a family entrepreneur, the things I do today, I want to be able to explain to my children tomorrow.”

For us, sustainability reaches beyond our company grounds. It means creating the best possible conditions for our customers, business partners, employees – and our planet as a whole.

As Your Specialist in Acute Care, this is our commitment. This is the responsibility we have for a healthier environment.

60% - 80% of mechanically ventilated patients in the ICU are affected by delirium. Patients should be comfortable, calm and able to cooperatively engage with caregivers and family at all times².

In order to achieve that, we want to:

• Improve sleep quality³
• Reduce asynchrony
• Improve patient ventilation synchrony
• Reduce complications⁴
• Shorter stay in the ICU⁵
• Reduce risk of infection^6,7

Quality management and process optimisation become increasingly important in the different areas at the hospital. In order to help you achieve that, we offer various solutions:

Customisation

With our Set2go solutions, we offer complete customised sets consisting of an individual selection of single-patient-use accessories. You just need one article number to get all the items in a single package.

Standardisation

Our consumables are not intended just for one specific Dräger device but can be used for nearly every Dräger device – and even across wards. This means for you:

• Your logistics are simplified
• This saves you labour, cost and time

Reliability

We are a global company which is well-represented by our sales & service employees in over 190 countries. Furthermore, our logistics chain ensures delivery reliability.

The subject of hygiene is serious, huge and incredibly complex. Because even if everything is supposed to be clean, the danger is invisible. Increasing number of tasks and high workloads are often the reason for hospital germs and it is often an immense burden to keep everything in mind that is necessary for clinical everyday life. A hygiene plan contains practical guidelines for patient protection in the form of work instructions.

Each year about 400,000 to 600,000 patients fall ill with nosocomial infections in Germany. Affected patients have increased morbidity. According to the National Surveillance Center (NRZ) about 20 to 30 per cent of these infections could be prevented with suitable hygiene measures.
