Defibrillator training and maintenance center in Saint-Malo

A fully booked hotel, a restaurant packed in the evening: establishments in Saint-Malo welcome large crowds for much of the year. For a commune of 47,439 inhabitants, that calls for a reliable fleet of defibrillators. From 9 Rue des Rougeries (35400), France Défibrillateur equips hotels, shops, businesses and local authorities across the Pays de Saint-Malo Agglomération with sales, hire, installation, maintenance and training.

Available services:

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

AED regulations in Saint-Malo

A hotel, shopping centre or performance venue in Saint-Malo classified as a French public-access building (ERP) of categories 1 to 4 has been required to be equipped with a DAE (AED) since 2020-2021; certain category 5 ERP buildings are also covered, depending on their activity. Every device must be registered on the national GéoDAE database, which lists 268 defibrillators in the commune. That figure reflects active registration, but the obligation remains individual: each operator is responsible for their own equipment and for keeping it in good working order.

Installing an AED in Saint-Malo

For a hotel or restaurant in Saint-Malo, we recommend a location visible from the entrance, clearly signposted and accessible to staff and public alike. Installation includes the wall bracket or outdoor cabinet, the regulatory signage and the GéoDAE registration. Our team at 9 Rue des Rougeries also operates in Dinan (20 km) and as far as Granville (38 km).

Maintenance and training in Saint-Malo

In a Saint-Malo hotel, the DAE in the lobby must work at any hour. We schedule preventive maintenance visits: checking the battery and electrodes and replacing consumables before they expire. Since every minute without defibrillation reduces the chances of survival by around 10%, we also train receptionists, front-of-house staff and technical teams in life-saving skills, so they can act while waiting for the emergency services.
