What does a yellow seal on the IMK indicate?

• A. Meds are missing; check sleeve for what's missing and tell DO/MD what's missing
• B. All meds present
• C. The IMK is ready for use
• D. The BP cuff is missing

Answer: (A)

A yellow seal on the IMK signals that medications are missing. This color cue is a quick warning that the kit isn’t fully stocked, so you should open the kit, compare its contents to the standard medication sleeve or inventory to identify exactly what’s missing, and tell the physician or DO/MD so they can arrange restocking. Don’t rely on the kit as ready for use when the seal is yellow—use only after the missing meds are verified and replenished. The signal isn’t about the BP cuff or a complete set of meds, but specifically about med availability.
