Medical Chest Category B

A SOLAS‑approved Category B medical chest designed for coastal voyages, providing organized storage for medicines, emergency supplies and basic medical equipment. The supplied category identifies the equipment as Medical Chest, and it is normally installed in designated fire lockers, medical spaces, rescue stations or emergency stores. In that listed role, its primary purpose is to support firefighting, casualty handling, resuscitation or onboard medical response according to the listed equipment type. Protective clothing, stretchers, oxygen equipment, AEDs and medical chests have different functions, so readiness depends on correct inventory, condition and crew familiarity. The model designation identifies the listed configuration, but no additional performance, approval or construction detail is inferred from the model code beyond the information supplied in the source record. The source metadata also states capacity: basic medical supplies. For exact ratings, dimensions, settings, capacities, materials and variant-specific limits, refer to the manufacturer documentation for the exact figure.
