Quick Overview

The First Aid Only Small Empty Bleeding Control Cabinet (SKUs 91543 and 91544) is a wall-mounted, metal housing unit that provides secure, accessible storage for user-supplied bleeding control assets, enabling trained responders to retrieve life-saving equipment rapidly during traumatic hemorrhage emergencies.

The cabinet functions as a public access infrastructure component, not a medical device. It ships empty, and its operational readiness is entirely dependent on the end-user organization's stocking, placement, and sustainment protocols. The internal compartment accepts either one First Aid Only small bleeding control tote bag (SKU 91540) or up to six individual bleeding control kits. Exceeding stated capacity compromises door closure and degrades rapid asset retrieval during deployment.

SKU 91544 includes a door-activated audible alarm that alerts nearby personnel and deters tampering. This alarm is battery-powered and functions as a local notification device only. It does not transmit to emergency services or a central monitoring station. Battery status must be verified during monthly cabinet inspections, and replacement should follow the manufacturer's recommended interval or occur during annual sustainment checks.

Sustaining cabinet readiness requires a two-track inspection protocol. Physical integrity, mounting security, and accessibility are checked monthly. Contents inventory, supply packaging condition, and expiration dates on all consumables are verified quarterly. All inspections must be logged with the date, inspector initials, cabinet and contents status, and any corrective actions taken, with records maintained co-located with the cabinet or in a central file.

Field Application Steps

1. LOCATE THE CABINET: Proceed directly to the pre-identified mounting location. The cabinet must be installed in a high-visibility, unobstructed area to ensure immediate access under emergency conditions.

2. OPEN THE DOOR: Firmly grasp the door latch and pull the door open swiftly. If operating SKU 91544, anticipate the audible alarm activating upon door opening. Do not hesitate. The alarm is an intended signal, not an indicator of malfunction.

3. IDENTIFY AND RETRIEVE ASSETS: Visually confirm the available medical kits, either the primary tote bag (SKU 91540) or individual kits staged inside. Remove as many kits as can be effectively carried and deployed to the point of injury.

4. CLOSE THE DOOR IF CONDITIONS ALLOW: If the tactical situation permits, push the door closed to silence the alarm on SKU 91544 and protect any remaining assets. This step is low priority. Moving to the casualty is the primary mission.

5. PROCEED TO THE CASUALTY: Move directly to the casualty or casualty collection point with equipment secured. Begin medical intervention according to your level of training and certification.

6. CONDUCT MONTHLY CABINET INSPECTION: Inspect the cabinet body for damage, corrosion, or signs of tampering. Verify the door hinge and latch function smoothly, confirm the cabinet is secure on the wall, and ensure the area around the cabinet is clear of obstructions. For SKU 91544, open the door to confirm the audible alarm activates and note the battery replacement date.

7. CONDUCT QUARTERLY CONTENTS INSPECTION: Verify the contents match your organization's required loadout and check for missing kits. Inspect packaging on all user-supplied medical items for torn or compromised seals, and check expiration dates on all consumables including hemostatic dressings, chest seals, and gloves. Rotate or replace any expired or near-expiration items immediately.

8. MAINTAIN THE INSPECTION LOG: Record every inspection in the log co-located with the cabinet or stored in a central file. Each entry must include the date of inspection, inspector's initials, status of the cabinet and contents, and any corrective actions taken.
