Where is the temperature strip located?

• A. Inside the ancillary kit
• B. In the cockpit
• C. In the lavatory
• D. In the passenger seat pocket

Answer: (A)

Temperature strips provide a quick visual check that temperature-sensitive medical supplies have stayed within safe storage limits. In flight operations, they’re kept with the onboard medical ancillary kit so crew can verify storage conditions and confirm the kit’s integrity during preflight checks or in an emergency. The cockpit, lavatory, and passenger seat pocket aren’t appropriate storage or access points for medical supplies or their temperature indicators—the cockpit is restricted, the lavatory is not a medical storage area, and seat pockets are open to passengers and lack controlled conditions. Keeping the strip in the ancillary kit centralizes monitoring and protects the medical supply chain.
