Defibrillator regulations Galicia

DECREE 38/2017, of March 23, pole that regulates the installation and use of external defibrillators for the health field, and its registration is created.

The article 43.1 of the Spanish Constitution recognizes the right to protection of health, so that the public authorities have a constitutional obligation to protect or establish preventive measures and provision of services necessary for the protection of health.

Pursuant to article 149.1.16a of the Spanish Constitution, the State has exclusive jurisdiction in matters of foreign health, bases and general coordination of health, and legislation on pharmaceutical products. Based on this competence, I approve Lei 14/1986, of April 25, General of Health. Thus, its article 3 does not declare as an objective of the health system that the means and actions of this system will be oriented primarily to health promotion and disease prevention. Likewise, its article 6 establishes that the actions of the public health administrations will be aimed at promoting health and guaranteeing that all health actions are carried out and are directed at prevention of diseases and not only at their cure, guaranteeing health care in all cases of loss of health.

Article 33.1 of the Galician Statute of Autonomy attributes the Autonomous Communities to the competence of legislative development and the execution of the basic legislation of the State in matters of internal health, and number 4 of the same article establishes that the Autonomous Communities may organize and administer for such purposes and Within its territory, all services related to the aforementioned matters, will be exercised under the supervision of institutions, entities and foundations in matters of health and social security; The State reserves for itself a high inspection leading to the fulfillment of the functions and powers contained in this article.

The article 32.3 of Law 8/2008, of July 10, of Galician health, includes as a guiding principle of the Galician public health system the integral conception of health, which includes health promotion, protection against situations and circumstances that pose a risk to health, in particular protection against environmental risks, disease prevention and health care, as well as rehabilitation and social integration, from a health care perspective. In this sense, the aforementioned Law 8/2008, of July 10, in its article 12.8, establishes that the holders of the right to health protection and health care have the right to establish disease prevention measures of proven effectiveness and safety .

In Galicia, cardiovascular diseases constitute one of the two most important health problems. Of all the emergency situations, cardiopulmonary resuscitation represents the paradigm in which early action and with adequate means conditions or prognosticates the recovery of life and the minimization of possible sequelae.

The most frequent causes of cardiorespiratory arrest in adults are ventricular fibrillation and pulseless ventricular tachycardia, and electrical defibrillation is considered the fundamental treatment within cardiopulmonary resuscitation and the survival rate. In these situations, due to the immediate availability of technical means, defibrillators are essential to successfully address resuscitation maneuvers, together with the support of Health emergencies, guaranteeing continuity of care. According to the 2015 Recommendations for resuscitation of the European Resuscitation Council, "the installation of DESA in areas where cardiac arrest can be expected every five years, is considered cost effective and comparable to other medical interventions."

In our autonomous community, the regulation of the matter continues until now in Decree 99/2005, of April 21, pole that regulates the training and use of external defibrillators by non-medical personnel. This regulatory standard included the conditions for the extrahospital use of two external defibrillators, with the authorization of training entities and the training for or handling of two external defibrillators, according to the headings of two different chapters.

Within the National Quality Plan of the National Health System, approved on June 28, 2006 by the Interterritorial Council of the National Health System, the Strategy of

ischemic heart disease that included a recommendation to establish a legal framework for the implementation and development of a program to encourage the use of two semiautomatic defibrillators in public places. This legal framework is currently constituted by Royal Decree 365/2009, of March 20, which establishes the conditions and minimum safety and quality requirements for the use of external automatic and semi-automatic defibrillators for the health field, as well as by Royal Decree 1591 /2009, October 16, pole that regulates sanitary products. These provisions have the condition of basic rules xa that are issued to the abeiro do artigo 149.1.16o of the Spanish Constitution.

Article 5 of the aforementioned Royal Decree 365/2009, dated March 20, establishes that the health administrations of the autonomous communities will promote and recommend the installation of two external semi-automatic defibrillators following the recommendations of two international organizations, in those places where a large number of people are concentrated or transit number of people, and will promote the appropriate coordination mechanisms with devices such as civil protection, firefighters, local police and others that may be necessary to extend the installation and use of those devices.

In addition, article 4 of Royal Decree 365/2009, of March 20, provides that public or private entities, as well as individuals who intend to install a semiautomatic defibrillator device, must notify the health authorities of the Autonomous Community of the place or of establishment in which it will be disposed of, making a responsible declaration that they meet the requirements set forth in number 2 of this article.

On this same line, on December 28, 2006, Directive 2006/123/CE of the European Parliament and Council entered into force, on December 12, 2006, relating to services in the internal market. According to the spirit of the aforementioned directive, the simple invocation of "general interest" does not abound to justify the a priori requirement of certain authorizations, since the administrative control can be carried out through the procedure of responsible declaration and subsequent vigilance. The State transposed this regulation through Law 17/2009, dated November 23, on free access to service activities and its exercise, by Law 25/2009, dated December 22, modifying various laws for its adaptation to the law on free access to the activities of services and their exercise.

Law 20/2013, dated December 9, on the guarantee of market unity, establishes in its article 3 that «no provision of a general nature, administrative action or quality standard that refers to the access or exercise of economic activities may contain Conditions or requirements that have as a direct or indirect effect discrimination based on establishment or residence of the economic operator.» Article 16 of the aforementioned law contains the principle of free economic initiative, in such a way that "access to economic activities and its exercise will be free throughout the national territory and can only be limited according to or established in this law and not provided for in the regulations of the Union European Union or in international treaties and conventions.” For this reason, not that it pertains to training entities, the new regulation dispenses with prior authorizations for training entities and private training activities, prior to the necessary a posteriori controls.

In compliance with the provisions of Decree 198/2010, of December 2, the pole that regulates the development of the electronic Administration in the Xunta de Galicia and the dependent entities, in its own services directive and in the regulations on electronic access for citizens to public services It is also facilitated the presentation of the responsible declarations by telematic means in the electronic office of the Xunta de Galicia.

Taking into account the accumulated experience, or development of the two available technological resources, and the regulatory changes that have been made, it is worth adapting to pre-existing regulations in this matter to these changes, seeking greater accessibility to these resources for the immediate approach of cardiorespiratory arrest situations.

The decree is made up of four chapters that are collected, respectively, as xerais provisions; The requirements, installation, notification and registration of external defibrillators; a qualification and precise training for or handling two defibrillators and the conditions of their use; and the provisions related to inspection and disciplinary regime. This regulation is completed with two additional provisions, a transitory one, to adapt spaces and services, a repeal, and two spillovers, referring to the regulatory development and entry into force.

In his virtue, by proposal of the competent minister in health matters, in agreement with the Consultative Council, the logo of the deliberation of the Council of the Xunta de Galicia, at his meeting on March XNUMX, two thousand twenty
