AED regulations in Tarbes

Take a Tarbes concert venue classed in category 2: since 2020-2021, French public-access buildings (ERP) of categories 1 to 4 have been required to hold a DAE, an obligation extended to certain category 5 ERP depending on their activity. Each device must then be registered on GéoDAE, the French national database, which lists 153 defibrillators in Tarbes. Set against the many establishments of a town of 44,399 inhabitants, this coverage still leaves sites unprotected, while every minute without defibrillation reduces the chances of survival by around 10%.

Installing an AED in Tarbes

For a secondary school or a shop in Tarbes, the location of the DAE must be chosen with care: permanently accessible, visible from the entrance and clearly signposted. France Défibrillateur installs the cabinet, fits the regulatory signage and completes the registration on GéoDAE. Our technicians also work in Vic-en-Bigorre (17 km), Maubourguet (26 km) and Lannemezan (30 km).

Maintenance and training in Tarbes

The DAE in a Tarbes sports hall is of no use if its battery is flat on the day someone collapses. Our team at 5 Rue Morane-Saulnier carries out preventive maintenance on existing devices and new fleets alike: checking electrodes, batteries and signage. We also train your staff in life-saving skills, from reception personnel to sports coaches.
