AED regulations in Caen

In a city the size of Caen, our teams encounter every type of establishment on their call-outs, from large category 1 French public-access buildings (ERP) to small category 5 shops. Categories 1 to 4 have been required to carry a DAE (AED) since 2020-2021; certain category 5 ERP are also affected depending on their activity. Every device must be registered in the national GéoDAE database. The urgency justifies the requirement: every minute without defibrillation costs around 10% in survival chances.

Installing an AED in Caen

Our installers set out from 12 Rue de la Cotonnière to cover Caen and its outskirts, as far as Ouistreham (12 km), Cabourg and Bayeux (22 km) or Falaise (38 km). Their method: identify the most visible and accessible location, fit the device with its regulatory signage, then register it in the national GéoDAE database. A DAE that cannot be found in an emergency is of no use to anyone.

Maintenance and training in Caen

With 347 devices recorded in the city, the question in Caen is no longer so much about equipping sites as about keeping devices in working order. Our technicians see it first-hand: a dense stock ages quickly if no one tracks the consumables' expiry dates. Our preventive maintenance, included with hire, schedules these checks. Our trainers also coach your teams in life-saving skills, on site, in Caen and across the wider urban area.
