With 867 defibrillators registered on GéoDAE, Montpellier has the densest network our technicians look after in the region; set against 310,240 residents, however, coverage still needs strengthening in several districts.

AED regulations in Montpellier

The density of public-access buildings in Montpellier makes the requirement very tangible: all French public-access buildings (ERP) of categories 1 to 4 have been required to be equipped with a DAE (AED) since 2020-2021, and some category 5 ERP are covered depending on their activity. On call-outs across the metropolitan area, our technicians find devices missing from the GéoDAE database despite the mandatory registration. This is something we put right systematically, because every minute without defibrillation reduces the chances of survival by around 10%.

Installing an AED in Montpellier

In a metropolitan area of 310,240 residents, the siting of a DAE has to be chosen carefully: footfall, round-the-clock accessibility, protection against vandalism. Our installers handle the mounting, standardised signage and GéoDAE registration. The centre in the 34070 area also covers Lunel, 23 km away, and Aigues-Mortes, 26 km away, for establishments along the coast.

Maintenance and training in Montpellier

A fleet of several hundred devices like Montpellier's demands methodical monitoring: every week our technicians see the effects of heat on the batteries and electrodes of DAE units installed outdoors. Our preventive maintenance schedules inspections and replacements; with hire, from 50 € excl. VAT per month, it is included. We also train teams at Montpellier sites in life-saving techniques.
