AED regulations in montmélian

In a commune of 4,024 residents such as Montmélian, French public-access buildings (ERP) of categories 1 to 4 have been required to be equipped with a DAE since 2020-2021, and some category 5 ERP are also covered depending on their activity. On call-outs, our teams still come across devices that have been installed but never registered on the national GéoDAE database, even though this registration is mandatory. The stakes are very real: every minute without defibrillation reduces the chances of survival by around 10%.

Installing an AED in montmélian

A poorly positioned DAE is a useless DAE: our installers check this on every visit. In Montmélian, we assess the accessibility of the chosen location, mount the device with its standardised signage and complete the GéoDAE registration. The 16 devices already listed in the commune leave areas still to be covered; our local centre, 9 km from Saint-Pierre-d'Albigny, allows for prompt installation.

Maintenance and training in montmélian

In the field, the most common fault our technicians find remains expired batteries or electrodes, a defect that stays invisible until the cabinet is opened. Our preventive maintenance, included in hire packages from 50 € excl. VAT per month, keeps the equipment of establishments across the CC Cœur de Savoie in safe working order. We also train teams in life-saving techniques, delivered on site in Montmélian.
