AED regulations in Saint-Maixent-l'école

In Saint-Maixent-l'École, a French public-access building (ERP) of categories 1 to 4, such as a multi-purpose hall or an educational establishment, has been required to have a DAE (AED) since 2020-2021. Certain category 5 ERP buildings are also covered depending on their activity. The national GéoDAE database lists 32 registered defibrillators in the commune, which has 7,595 inhabitants. Registering each device there is compulsory, and the stakes are real: every minute without defibrillation cuts the chances of survival by around 10%.

Installing an AED in Saint-Maixent-l'école

For a village hall or sports hall in the commune, the typical location is the main entrance, clearly signposted, or an outdoor cabinet on the front of the building for round-the-clock access. We install the bracket or cabinet, fit the signage and register the device on GéoDAE. Our technicians also cover Melle (22 km), Niort (23 km) and Parthenay (25 km).

Maintenance and training in Saint-Maixent-l'école

A DAE installed in a community hall in Saint-Maixent-l'École must be checked regularly: battery, electrodes and expiry dates. Our team carries out this preventive maintenance and keeps a service record for each device. We also train the staff and volunteers who keep these venues running in life-saving skills, so that a well-maintained defibrillator is also a well-used one.
