An essential part of preventing healthcare associated infections

Patients are vulnerable to infections due to their weak immune system. 7% of hospitalised patients in developed countries and 10% in developing countries will acquire at least one health care-associated infection1. 20%-30% of nosocomial infections could be prevented with suitable hygiene measures2. Therefore, breaking the chain of contamination is an important step in preventing nosocomial infections.

Customer reference video – Infection Management to prevent nosocomial infections

In this video, you’ll find out how Klinkum Magdeburg, a hospital in Germany, deals with Infection Management to prevent nosocomial infections in their hospital.

An essential part of securing your performance

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.

An essential part of protecting our future

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

- Stefan Dräger, Chairman of the Executive Board

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.

HCA Sustainability

Hospitals play an important role in achieving national climate targets. If healthcare was a country, it would be the world’s 5th largest emitter with emissions of 4.4% of global greenhouse gases.1

Large amounts of waste are generated during the medical care of patients. For example in Germany, hospitals are the fifth largest producer of waste and also US hospitals produce more than 8 kg of waste per bed per day.2

Dräger aims to make hospital consumables and accessories sustainable across the whole product life cycle in order to sustainably reduce waste.

An essential part of securing patient safety and comfort

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 infection6,7

Rotation strategies can improve NIV tolerance

There're two key factors involved in a successful NIV treatment. They are:

Rotation of mask type

Studies have proven that alternating different mask types improves the effectiveness of treatment when treating acute respiratory failure.

Choice of interface

Selecting the correct type of interface greatly reduces painful skin breakdown and ulcerations. Thus, an alternating interface strategy not only reduces the points of highest pressure, but also improves NIV tolerance and efficacy8,9.

Friendly and responsible to patients

Di (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) is a synthetic chemical belonging to a family known as phthalates, which is used to make plastics more flexible.

Due to the overuse of DEHP in many products, it enters and pollutes the environment through release from industrial settings and plastic waste disposal sites. DEHP can enter the body through inhalation, ingestion, and dermal contact on a daily basis, which raises concerns about its potential effects on human health2.

As DEHP is currently under increasing scrutiny by regulatory and medical authorities, a range of DEHP alternatives have been approved by the European Pharmacopeia, and are now made available for nearly all medical applications3.

For many years, we have minimised the usage of substances of concern. Nearly all of our hospital consumables and accessories are now free of latex, PVC and DEHP.

Portfolio Highlights

We know that your top priorities are to keep the patients safe and to offer them the highest levels of comfort to make their stay as comfortable as possible. Our accessories and consumables play an important role in achieving our common goal as they are often in direct contact with your patients – that‘s why patient comfort and ease of use were the focal point when designing our accessories as they are an essential part of securing patient safety and comfort.

Optimisation of clinical processes - Infection prevention and control and hospital accessories

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.

Reference Case: Infection Management to prevent nosocomial infections

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.

Portfolio Highlights

Our range of accessories and consumables is designed to help you in your daily routines to make your work as easy as possible and to reduce the potential of errors to a minimum. That’s what makes them an essential part of increasing work efficiency and cost savings.

PPE in the Hospital

During the pandemic, the use of the appropriate PPE when in contact with patients is key. The World Health Organization (WHO) published an interim guidance “Infection prevention and control during health care when COVID-19 is suspected” which names the appropriate PPE when in contact with patients.
