Defibrillator training and maintenance center in Falaise

On the ground, our technicians regularly travel the Pays de Falaise: the town has 30 DAE units (AEDs) registered on GéoDAE, a substantial installed base that calls for serious monitoring. From our branch at 8 rue Pierre et Marie Curie (14700), France Défibrillateur provides sales, hire, installation, maintenance and training for Falaise's organisations, midway between Argentan (19 km) and Caen (38 km).

Available services:

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

AED regulations in Falaise

With 7,680 inhabitants and a varied mix of public-access buildings (ERP), Falaise is directly affected by the equipment requirement: French ERP establishments of categories 1 to 4 have been required to have a DAE since 2020-2021, and certain category 5 establishments as well, depending on their activity. Our technicians note, however, that registration on the French national GéoDAE database, which is also mandatory, is often overlooked after purchase: the 30 devices listed in the town do not necessarily reflect the full installed base.

Installing an AED in Falaise

Our installers set out from rue Pierre et Marie Curie to cover the whole town and travel as far as Flers (34 km) or Ouistreham (41 km). On site, they recommend an outdoor cabinet suited to the Norman climate, signage visible from the public highway and a location accessible at all hours. Every installation ends with registration on GéoDAE. Hire from 50 € excl. VAT per month, maintenance included, is also available.

Maintenance and training in Falaise

Thirty registered DAE units means dozens of electrode pads and batteries to keep track of. On their rounds through the CC du Pays de Falaise, our technicians mainly find self-test alerts that go unheeded because no designated contact person has been appointed. Our preventive maintenance schedules inspections and replacements, and our life-saving skills training gives teams the reflex to act quickly: every minute without defibrillation cuts the chances of survival by around 10%.
