Defibrillator training and maintenance center in cluses

In the Arve valley, equipment is put to the test: that is what our technicians observe across the 31 DAE units (AEDs) registered in Cluses on the GéoDAE database, where the cold takes its toll on the batteries and electrodes of outdoor devices. For this commune of 17,795 residents, the centre of the CC Cluses-Arve et Montagnes, our team at 1096, avenue de Colomby provides sales, hire, installation in suitably protective cabinets, preventive maintenance and life-saving skills training.

Available services:

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

AED regulations in cluses

Public-access buildings (ERP) in Cluses (74300) falling within categories 1 to 4 have been required to carry a DAE since 2020-2021; certain category 5 establishments are also covered depending on their activity. On their call-outs, our technicians find that registration on the national GéoDAE database, although mandatory, is still missing at some sites. We complete it systematically as part of our installations, so that every device in the commune can be located by the emergency services.

Installing an AED in cluses

Installing a DAE in Cluses means contending with winter: for outdoor installations, our technicians select protected cabinets on facades that are visible and accessible around the clock. The site survey, the regulatory signage and the GéoDAE registration are part of every installation carried out from avenue de Colomby. When every minute without defibrillation cuts the chances of survival by around 10%, a well-placed, well-protected device changes the outcome.

Maintenance and training in cluses

Thirty-one DAE units registered in Cluses means just as many expiry schedules to track: our technicians plan preventive visits to check the self-test, batteries and electrodes, taking the valley's winter conditions into account. Contracts can bring together sites in Bonneville (13 km), Sallanches (17 km) and La Roche-sur-Foron (20 km). Each visit can end with a refresher session for the teams in life-saving skills.
