Important
Who Is the Red-Zone Card Not For?
Patients or members of the public
This card is for trained clinicians, not patients seeking emergency medical advice.
A replacement for local protocols
It does not replace vessel, employer, flag-state, or port-state clinical procedures.
A substitute for telemedical advice
Always consult TMAS or your designated telemedical provider when available.
Definitive clinical guidance
It is an educational quick-reference tool, not a clinical guideline or standard of care.
The Red-Zone Card is an educational and operational reference tool. It does not replace clinical judgment, local protocols, telemedical advice, employer policies, regulatory requirements, or emergency services. Adapt to your vessel, employer, flag-state and port-state requirements.
