When referring to the Inflight Medical Kit, what does a yellow seal indicate?

• A. The kit is locked and inaccessible
• B. The kit is fully stocked and ready
• C. There is an active exemption letter, and the IMK is missing one or more medications
• D. The kit requires recalibration

Answer: (C)

A yellow seal on the Inflight Medical Kit signals a modified status under an official exemption. It means there is an active exemption letter and one or more medications are intentionally missing from the kit according to that exemption. The kit isn’t in its standard fully stocked condition, so you need to review the exemption documentation to know exactly which items are not included and how substitutions or replenishment should be handled. This status isn’t about the kit being locked, fully stocked, or needing recalibration—the yellow seal specifically indicates the exemption and missing medications. When you see it, check the exemption letter, identify the affected meds, and follow the documented procedures to align the kit with policy and maintain onboard medical readiness.
