AED regulations in Craponne-sur-Arzon

An establishment caring for older people falls within the scope of French public-access buildings (ERP): categories 1 to 4 have been required to hold a DAE (AED) since 2020-2021, and certain category 5 establishments are also covered depending on their activity. In Craponne-sur-Arzon, GéoDAE, the French national database, lists 7 registered defibrillators, and every new device must be recorded on it. With Le Puy-en-Velay 32 km away and Yssingeaux 30 km away, having a DAE on site is no luxury.

Installing an AED in Craponne-sur-Arzon

In a residential home for older people, the device should be placed at a point staff pass regularly, reachable within moments from the residents' rooms. Our technicians travel to Craponne-sur-Arzon and as far as Ambert (25 km) or Monistrol-sur-Loire (26 km): mounting, signage and GéoDAE registration. Rental from 50 € excl. VAT per month, maintenance included, lets you equip the establishment without a heavy investment.

Maintenance and training in Craponne-sur-Arzon

In rural areas, an out-of-service defibrillator is sometimes only noticed at the worst possible moment. Our preventive maintenance schedules the checks and the replacement of batteries and electrode pads, without you having to think about it. We also train care and administrative staff in life-saving techniques: in a cardiac arrest, every minute without defibrillation reduces the chances of survival by around 10%.
