Available services:

• Defibrillator sales and rental
• Installation and commissioning
• Preventive and corrective maintenance

AED regulations in thônes

A hotel in Thônes classed in categories 1 to 4 of the French public-access building (ERP) system has been required to hold a DAE since 2020-2021; in category 5, the obligation depends on the activity, which concerns several shops and accommodation providers in the valley. GéoDAE, the French national database with its compulsory registration, lists 32 defibrillators in the commune. A good starting point for 6,654 inhabitants, to be reinforced during the tourist season: every minute without defibrillation reduces the chances of survival by around 10%.
