AED regulations in Digoin

With 42 DAE (AED) units registered on the national GéoDAE database, Digoin has a high density of equipment for a town of 7,353 residents. This network meets a precise requirement: French public-access buildings (ERP) of categories 1 to 4 have been required to hold a DAE since 2020-2021, certain category 5 ERP depending on their activity, and every device must be registered on GéoDAE. The health stakes are direct: the closer and better registered the defibrillator, the sooner the shock is delivered, with every minute lost costing around 10% of the chances of survival.

Installing an AED in Digoin

The banks of the Loire, business parks, and sports and cultural facilities: in Digoin, we place DAE units at key thoroughfares, favouring outdoor access points available at all times. Every installation includes a siting study, standard signage and the GéoDAE declaration. For purchase or hire from 50 € excl. VAT per month with maintenance included, we also work in Dompierre-sur-Besbre (25 km) and Montceau-les-Mines (35 km).

Maintenance and training in Digoin

A fleet of 42 DAE units is only as good as its upkeep: expired electrodes or a flat battery, and the life-saving response fails. From the Parc d'Activités des Blattiers, we schedule preventive maintenance for the devices in Digoin and the Grand Charolais, including signage checks and GéoDAE record updates. Our training sessions teach your teams to perform compressions and defibrillate within the first few minutes.
