Record Keeping Sleeve

  • First item to review: The sleeve is designed to be removed and checked before accessing the equipment inside the kit.

  • Maintenance log: It provides space to record Aviation App updates, battery checks, expiration tags, inspection dates, and other readiness activities.

  • QR code access: QR codes link to maintenance bulletins, update notices, and support materials from the DAK service team.

  • Do not discard: The sleeve is part of the maintenance program and should be reviewed monthly as the ongoing record of readiness.

  • Charging components: The box includes charging equipment and adapters for the ECG device and other rechargeable items.

  • Warranty and service information: Service documentation should be stored with the record keeping sleeve for future reference.

Core Diagnostic Equipment

  • ECG device: The ECG is the only Bluetooth-connected tool in the kit and transmits cardiac data to the Aviation App and MedLink for real-time support.

  • ECG components: The ECG includes the recorder and pads. The pads are stored in the pocket inside the DAK lid.

  • Digital blood pressure monitor: Compact and easy to secure during cabin movement or turbulence.

  • Pulse oximeter: Provides quick oxygen saturation and pulse rate readings.

  • Infrared thermometer: Contactless, accurate, and well-suited for confined cabin spaces.

  • Digital glucometer: Used to measure blood glucose when diabetic symptoms or altered awareness are suspected.

Important Glucometer Note

  • Three-part device: The glucometer includes the recording device, test strips, and lancet.

  • Use with MedLink guidance: MedLink will advise when and how to use the glucometer during an assessment.

  • Verbal reporting: Glucometer information is not recorded in the Aviation App and should be reported verbally to MedLink.

Key Takeaways

Start with the sleeve: The record keeping sleeve is a critical readiness document, not disposable packaging.

Review support materials: Instructions, quick reference guidance, charging components, and service information should be checked before first use.

Know the tools: The DAK contains five key diagnostic tools organized for fast access during an in-flight medical event.

Keep it mission-ready: Confirm software, batteries, expiration details, and equipment readiness before flight.
