AED regulations in Saint-Girons

In Saint-Girons, the obligation in force since 2020-2021 applies to French public-access buildings (ERP) of categories 1 to 4, and to certain category 5 establishments depending on their activity. In a town of 6,008 residents far from major centres (Saint-Gaudens is 39 km away, Pamiers 42 km), a nearby DAE carries all the more weight: every minute without defibrillation removes around 10% of survival chances. The 13 devices in the area must be registered and kept up to date on the national GéoDAE database.

Installing an AED in Saint-Girons

Installing a DAE in Saint-Girons means taking the terrain and distances of the Couserans into account. Our 09200-based technicians assess the siting, install the device with its regulatory signage and complete the GéoDAE registration, which is mandatory for every unit. For a town of 6,008 residents with 13 registered DAE units, an additional device in the town centre or near public facilities tangibly shortens the time to the first shock.

Maintenance and training in Saint-Girons

In mountainous areas, an unavailable DAE cannot simply be replaced by one from the next town: around Saint-Girons, Carbonne is 36 km away. Our preventive maintenance contracts safeguard the 13 devices potentially concerned in the area: scheduled inspections, replacement of consumables and GéoDAE updates. Our centre at 1 Rue du Barrage keeps response times under control throughout the Couserans. On-site training in life-saving techniques is available.
