AED regulations in Annecy

With 298 defibrillators registered on the national GéoDAE database, Annecy already has genuine coverage. It remains governed by law: since 2020 and 2021, all French public-access buildings (ERP) of categories 1 to 4 must be equipped with a DAE, and certain category 5 ERP are affected depending on their activity. Registering each device on GéoDAE is mandatory: it is what allows the emergency services to direct a bystander to the nearest DAE. We handle this formality for our clients in Annecy.

Installing an AED in Annecy

In a city of 132,117 inhabitants where high-footfall locations follow one after another, the position of a DAE should be chosen with these flows in mind: permanent access, immediate visibility, a short distance from the main routes. Every minute without defibrillation reduces the chances of survival by around 10%, so proximity matters as much as the device itself. We install with regulatory signage, register on GéoDAE and offer hire from 50 € excl. VAT per month, maintenance included.

Maintenance and training in Annecy

Our technicians based on rue des Bouvières carry out preventive maintenance on devices in Annecy and across Grand Annecy, as far as Thônes and Sillingy. Checking the device's overall condition, replacing electrode pads and batteries before they expire, updating the GéoDAE registration: every intervention is fully documented. In parallel, we train your teams in life-saving skills so that the device is used without hesitation.
