What do you do if the green seal is missing from the zippered pouch?

• A. Immediately apply the green seal without further checks
• B. Leave it until a supervisor inspects
• C. Verify presence of the BP cuff, stethoscope, pulse oximeter, & narcan nasal spray. If all are present, apply green seal
• D. Notify medical control

Answer: (C)

When a kit’s seal is missing, the first step is to confirm the kit is fully stocked against the standard list before resealing. The green seal is a indicator that the pouch has been checked and is ready for use, so you should only apply it if the required items are all present. For this pouch, that means verifying the BP cuff, stethoscope, pulse oximeter, and Narcan nasal spray. If all of these are accounted for, you can apply the green seal to restore readiness and ensure the kit is immediately usable in an emergency. This approach keeps inventory accurate and avoids sealing a kit that isn’t complete, which could delay care. If any item is missing, you would follow the appropriate policy for addressing stock discrepancies rather than sealing the pouch.
