Defibrillator training and maintenance center in Saint-Agrève

On the Ardèche plateau, Saint-Agrève (2,277 inhabitants) serves as the market town for the CC Val Eyrieux: its shops, services and community groups draw people from a catchment area stretching to Le Chambon-sur-Lignon (9 km) and Tence (13 km). France Défibrillateur supports establishments across this area from its base at 11, avenue des Cévennes: sale, hire, installation and maintenance of DAE units (AEDs), together with life-saving skills training.

Available services:

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

AED regulations in Saint-Agrève

French public-access buildings (ERP) of categories 1 to 4 have been required to carry a defibrillator since 2020-2021, and certain category 5 ERP are also covered depending on their activity. In Saint-Agrève, the national GéoDAE register lists 5 declared defibrillators: still a sparse network for a town that concentrates the plateau's daily traffic, between Val Eyrieux and neighbouring Haute-Loire. Every installed device must be declared on GéoDAE, an obligation we handle at commissioning.

Installing an AED in Saint-Agrève

The town hall, the multi-purpose hall, town-centre shops and sports facilities: Saint-Agrève's busiest spots are all sensible locations for an accessible DAE. Our technicians work with you to choose the installation point, fit the device with its statutory signage and declare it on GéoDAE. Available for purchase or on hire from €50 excl. VAT per month with maintenance included, the solution suits the budget of a town of 2,277 inhabitants.

Maintenance and training in Saint-Agrève

In this mid-mountain area, where emergency services may have to come from Lamastre (15 km) or further afield, an out-of-service DAE is simply not an option. Our preventive maintenance checks the electrodes, batteries and signage of your equipment in Saint-Agrève and across the Val Eyrieux communes. We also train your teams: every minute without defibrillation reduces the chances of survival by around 10%.
