Defibrillator training and maintenance center in Figeac

Our rounds through the Lot often take us to Figeac: the town has 46 DAE units (AEDs) registered on GéoDAE, one of the largest installed bases we monitor in the department. From our base at 11 Lafarrayrie (46100), France Défibrillateur supports the 9,793 inhabitants and the organisations of the Grand-Figeac with sales, hire, installation, maintenance and training, across a wide territory where Cahors and Aurillac are both 48 km away.

Available services:

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

AED regulations in Figeac

As the main town of the CC Grand-Figeac, Figeac has a high concentration of French public-access buildings (ERP) subject to the DAE requirement: categories 1 to 4 equipped since 2020-2021, and certain category 5 establishments depending on their activity. The feedback from our technicians is clear: the 46 devices registered on GéoDAE, the French national database, show a town that is rather ahead of the curve, but every new device must also be registered, and any relocated device must have its record updated. We handle these formalities for our clients, from Figeac to Villefranche-de-Rouergue (26 km).

Installing an AED in Figeac

From Figeac, our fitters cover a wide radius, reaching as far as Rocamadour (41 km) or Aurillac (48 km). Within the town, they favour locations that are accessible around the clock and visible to as many people as possible, with an outdoor cabinet where the site requires it. Installation includes mounting, regulatory signage and GéoDAE registration. Purchase or hire from 50 € excl. VAT per month, maintenance included: both options are available in the 46100 area.

Maintenance and training in Figeac

In an extensive rural area like the Grand-Figeac, a faulty DAE can go unreported for weeks: that is the recurring finding from our rounds. Our preventive maintenance sets a schedule of visits from Lafarrayrie, replaces electrode pads and batteries before they expire, and checks cabinets and signage. Our life-saving skills training completes the arrangement, because every minute without defibrillation reduces the chances of survival by around 10%.
