Defibrillator training and maintenance center in Bellac

A rural commune's village hall hosts weddings, bingo nights and public meetings: it is often the first venue to equip. In Bellac, with 3,537 residents, France Défibrillateur helps the town council, local businesses and community groups acquire DAE (AED) units from its centre at 14 Rue Léo Lagrange (87300), through sale or hire from 50 € excl. VAT per month with maintenance included.

Available services:

• Defibrillator sales and rental
• Installation and commissioning

AED regulations in Bellac

A community hall in Bellac classified in categories 1 to 4 of French public-access buildings (ERP) has been required to hold a DAE since 2020-2021; some category 5 ERP establishments are also bound by this, depending on their activity. Every installed device must appear on the national GéoDAE database, which lists 11 defibrillators in Bellac. For the CC Haut Limousin en Marche, a vast area far from major hospitals, with Limoges 33 km away, this local provision is decisive.

Installing an AED in Bellac

An outdoor cabinet, fixed to the facade of the village hall or the town hall, makes the DAE accessible to the whole village day and night. Every minute without defibrillation reduces the chances of survival by around 10%. France Défibrillateur supplies the device, cabinet and signage, carries out the installation and the GéoDAE registration, and operates as far as Montmorillon (36 km).

Maintenance and training in Bellac

A DAE installed in a village hall may go unused for months: that is precisely why it must be checked. France Défibrillateur schedules preventive maintenance visits, replaces electrodes and batteries before they expire, and trains municipal staff and volunteers in life-saving skills, in Bellac as well as in Saint-Junien (27 km) and Confolens (31 km).
