Defibrillator training and maintenance center in Agen

The chain of survival always begins with having a defibrillator close at hand. In Agen, within the Agglomération d'Agen urban community, France Défibrillateur operates from its centre at 1 rue Albert Ferrasse (47550), providing the sale, hire, installation and maintenance of DAE units (AEDs). Our public health objective is simple: to shorten the time between cardiac arrest and the first shock, because every minute lost costs around 10% in survival chances.

Available services:

• Defibrillator sales and rental
• Installation and commissioning
• Preventive and corrective maintenance
• Usage training (Workplace First Aid)

AED regulations in Agen

The Agen area has 113 defibrillators declared on the national GéoDAE register, a sign that a culture of prevention is already taking hold. The regulations support it: since 2020-2021, all French public-access buildings (ERP) of categories 1 to 4 must have a DAE, and certain category 5 establishments are required to do so depending on their activity. Every installed device must be declared on GéoDAE, an essential condition for the emergency medical services (SAMU) to be able to direct a bystander to the nearest DAE.

Installing an AED in Agen

To install a DAE in Agen, we study the flow of people through your premises and select a location that is visible, accessible and clearly signposted. Installation includes the mounting bracket, the regulatory signage and the declaration on GéoDAE. From rue Albert Ferrasse, our team also serves Aiguillon (26 km), Villeneuve-sur-Lot (27 km), Condom (34 km) and Fleurance (36 km).

Maintenance and training in Agen

A fleet of defibrillators only offers protection if it is properly maintained. In Agen, our technicians schedule preventive maintenance visits: electrodes, batteries, self-tests and general condition are all checked. We complement this upkeep with life-saving skills training for your teams, so that raising the alarm, chest compressions and defibrillation follow one another without hesitation during the minutes that matter.
