Which action best describes the FRK preflight check for integrity of the equipment?

• A. Presence and secured to AED with a seal intact
• B. All items must be replaced if any seal is damaged
• C. Contents must be color-coded blue
• D. The FRK should be kept under the seat pocket

Answer: (A)

The main idea here is confirming the FRK is ready for use by checking that it is actually there, attached to the AED, and that its tamper-evident seal is still intact. If the FRK is present, securely fastened to the AED, and the seal hasn’t been broken, you can trust the kit’s contents are complete and ready for a real emergency. This direct check of presence, secure attachment, and an unbroken seal ensures quick access and reliability when needed. Color-coding the contents isn’t part of the standard readiness check, and where the FRK is stored can vary by policy rather than reflecting its integrity. Replacing every item just because a seal is damaged goes beyond the basic integrity check; the emphasis is on confirming the FRK is there and untouched so you know it’s usable.
