Dräger customer service number — comprehensive guide for clinicians and biomedical engineers

Overview and official contact points

Dräger (Drägerwerk AG & Co. KGaA) is a global manufacturer of medical and safety equipment founded in 1889 and headquartered in Lübeck, Germany (Moislinger Allee 53–55, 23558 Lübeck). The single best authoritative source for an official customer service telephone number is the company’s global website (https://www.draeger.com) and the country-specific contact pages linked from it. Because Dräger operates in more than 190 countries, there is no single universal telephone number for all services — regional offices and authorized service partners manage field service, spare parts and clinical support locally.

When seeking a service number, use the country selector on draeger.com or the “Contact / Service” menu. For urgent clinical device failure (ventilators, anesthesia machines, patient monitors) hospitals typically require a direct 24/7 escalation route — those numbers are provided under local service agreements and emergency contact pages rather than the corporate front desk. If you cannot find a local emergency number, contact the corporate switchboard at the Lübeck address via the website contact form to ask for the appropriate regional after-hours line.

How to find your local Dräger customer service number (step-by-step)

Step 1: Navigate to https://www.draeger.com and select your country in the upper-right or via the “Choose region / country” link. Step 2: Open the “Service & Support” or “Contact” page — Dräger structures lists by product family (Respiratory, Anesthesia & Ventilation, Gas detection, Personal Protection) and by service type (repairs, spare parts, calibration). Step 3: Note the local telephone number and dedicated email for service requests; copy the emergency after-hours number if listed.

If the website is inaccessible, use the international dialing format: country code +49 (Germany), +44 (UK), +1 (USA/Canada) followed by the local number provided on the site. Example formats (do not use as substitutes for the official number): +49 XX XXXXXXXX (Germany), +44 XX XXXXXXXX (UK), +1 XXX XXX XXXX (USA). Always confirm the exact number for your product and service level; critical equipment typically has a different escalation number than general commercial inquiries.

What to prepare before calling customer service

Preparation reduces time-to-resolution. Have these items ready when you place a call: product model and serial number (for example, Evita® XL ventilator SN: 12345AB), purchase or installation date, contract or agreement number (if you have a service contract), a concise description of the fault and the clinical urgency (e.g., device in clinical use, patient affected). Being able to provide temperature, error codes, and whether the device has been rebooted will save on troubleshooting time.

• Documents and identifiers to have: product model, serial number, software/firmware version, service agreement ID, purchase invoice or quotation number, error screenshots/log exports.
• Operational context: patient impact (yes/no), backup device available (yes/no), local site contact name and extension, preferred time window for on-site service.

If the call concerns spare parts, have the part number or a clear photograph. For consumables and filters, Dräger often lists part numbers in the product manual and on the website; ordering can usually be completed the same day in regions with local distribution centers, with typical delivery windows of 24–72 hours for in-stock items in metropolitan areas.

Service levels, response times and pricing considerations

Dräger delivers multiple service tiers: pay-per-incident repair, preventive maintenance contracts (PM), and full-service agreements that include parts, labor and software updates. Typical PM frequencies are annual or semi-annual for ventilators and anesthesia machines. Standard response times in contracted programs range from on-site next business day to 4-hour onsite for critical SLAs; non-contracted service requests are handled on a best-effort basis and may take 48–96 hours depending on branch capacity and parts availability.

Pricing depends on geography, equipment class and whether a service contract exists. Indicative ranges observed in hospital procurement: single preventive maintenance visit for a ventilator €200–€1,000; full-year service contract for a fleet of ventilators can range from €1,500 to €12,000 per device per year depending on coverage. For exact pricing, request a formal quote from your country’s Dräger service sales team — quotes always list response times, covered parts, excluded consumables and escalation contacts.

Escalation, regulatory compliance and documentation

For unresolved clinical incidents or device malfunctions with potential patient harm, follow your institution’s incident reporting procedures and escalate to Dräger using the emergency or complaint escalation number provided in your contract. Keep a written record of service ticket numbers and technician reports; these are required for warranty claims and for regulatory reporting to bodies such as the European Competent Authority or FDA when incidents meet reporting criteria.

After any repair, obtain a completed service report that lists work performed, replaced parts (with serial numbers), calibration certificates and verification results. These reports are needed to maintain device compliance with ISO 13485/ISO 9001 quality systems and for hospital audit trails. If device software or firmware is updated, capture version numbers and change logs — some hospitals require validation before returning a device to clinical service.

Quick checklist before you hang up

Always confirm the case or ticket number, the name and direct number of the technician or dispatcher, the expected time window for on-site attendance (date and time range), and whether any interim mitigation steps are recommended for patient safety. If a part is required, ask for the estimated lead time and shipping method, and whether an express shipment is possible and chargeable.

Following these steps and using the official Dräger web portal (www.draeger.com) will get you the correct local customer service number and ensure rapid, documented handling of clinical device issues.
