Dräger's hospital reputation rests on two areas, and the Auxilmed selection follows it: anaesthesia and ventilation, and neonatal care, across some 20 pre-owned devices., weighted towards two areas the company is best known for in hospitals: anaesthesia and ventilation, and neonatal care. The current selection includes Primus and Zeus IE anaesthesia workstations, Oxylog transport ventilators, Isolette, Caleo and Babyleo incubators, Babytherm infant warmers, vaporisers and phototherapy. Stock comes largely from Dutch hospitals, is tested for functionality and documented per item. Auxilmed is an independent reseller and is not affiliated with or authorised by Dräger.
The listing groups into five families, with neonatal equipment and airway devices making up most of it. A few items are accessories rather than complete devices, such as carts and wall brackets, which is normal when a hospital clears a department.
| Family | Examples currently listed |
|---|---|
| Anaesthesia workstations | Primus, Zeus IE |
| Transport and emergency ventilation | Oxylog 2000, Oxylog 2000 Plus, Oxylog 3000, Oxylog 3000 Plus |
| Neonatal care | Isolette C2000, Isolette 8000, Isolette TI500 transport incubator, Caleo, Babyleo TN500, Babytherm 8000 and 8010 warmers, Photo-Therapy 4000 |
| Vaporisers | Vapor 2000, DIVA |
| Monitoring and theatre | Infinity M300 telemetry, Sola 300 theatre light, carts and brackets |
Concentrate on the wear parts and the self-test. These platforms are built around consumable sensors and elastomer seals, so a machine that fails a leak test on arrival is usually reporting a service interval rather than a defect. Ask whether the device completed its internal checks on power-up.
Incubators and warmers are judged on their enclosure, their probes and their thermal performance, not on screen hours. The plastics take the hardest life: hoods craze from repeated disinfection, port seals and cuffs harden, and mattress trays and access doors accumulate visible wear.
Check the hood and door seals, the humidifier reservoir for scale, the air filter interval, the skin temperature probes and their sockets, and the integrated weighing scale if fitted. On Babytherm warmers, confirm the heater element and heated mattress work together with the servo control. Phototherapy output falls with lamp hours, so irradiance should be verified with a radiometer before the unit is used clinically. Transport incubators such as the TI500 add battery packs, trolley and vehicle mounts to the checklist, and those accessories are often missing from decommissioned units.
Dräger equipment is common across European hospitals, so consumables and service expertise are generally accessible, from the manufacturer's network and from independent biomedical companies. That matters on the secondary market: a ventilator or workstation is only as usable as its supply of sensors, circuits and seals.
Two points repay attention before purchase. Software and configuration options differ between units of the same model, including monitoring and gas measurement options, so ask what is enabled on the specific device rather than what the model can support. And vaporisers require periodic servicing and are agent-specific, so confirm the agent, the filler system and the service history of the individual unit. Auxilmed lists these devices as an independent reseller with no affiliation to Dräger, confirming condition and included accessories per item.
A vaporiser is agent-specific and is supplied empty. Confirm the agent it is calibrated for, the filler system it uses, and its service history, then have it checked before clinical use. Auxilmed documents the condition of the individual unit and answers these questions per item.
Yes. Auxilmed ships to clinics, hospitals and distributors across Europe and worldwide, arranging crating, road, sea or air transport, export documentation and customs handling. De-installation and installation can be arranged on request. Buyers confirm the import and regulatory requirements in their own country.
Warranty terms vary from device to device and are confirmed per item, so ask about the specific unit you are interested in. Every device is tested for functionality and its condition is recorded, including model, serial number and year of manufacture, with servicing details confirmed on request.
