Explanation to completion of the insert

      1. The insert to the medical record of aviation personnel (hereinafter referred to as the Insert) is a document for recording and reporting. It is intended for recording requests from aviation personnel for medical assistance, recording work losses, treatment provided, medical examinations for recovery, consultations, referrals to sanatoriums, health centers, special survival training centers, as well as records not related to the examination of a serviceman and the adoption of an expert decision.

      2. The insert together with the medical book is presented to the ordinary examination of the medical flight commission.

      3. The insert notes changes in health status identified during the inter-commission period that served as the reason for referral for an unscheduled inpatient examination.

      4. The insert is maintained by the doctor. All entries should be made in ink, concisely, clearly, and legibly. When corrections are made, the old entry is crossed out and a new wording is written above it, which is marked: “Corrected to be believed” and sealed with the doctor's signature and stamp.

      5. In section 4, “Radiological and endoscopic examination data,” when performing radiography, fluoroscopy, and fluorography, the radiation dose in millisieverts (mSv) is indicated.

      6. In section 5, when referring aviation personnel to sanatorium-resort therapy, a referral is issued in the insert with the decision of the sanatorium selection committee and indicating the name of the sanatorium (rest home), the duration of stay, and the diagnosis. At the end of the sanatorium-resort treatment, a discharge summary is recorded in the insert, indicating the dates of admission and discharge, therapeutic and diagnostic procedures, treatment methods and their results, as well as preventive recommendations and instructions.

      7. In section 6, when conducting outpatient treatment, all visits, results of medical examinations, consultations, laboratory, instrumental, and special studies are recorded in the insert. Upon recovery, the record shall indicate the presence (absence) of complaints, the duration of treatment, objective status, the dynamics of the course of the disease, the treatment provided, the results of laboratory and clinical studies, the criteria for recovery, and admission to military service. When inpatient treatment is provided, the initial visit is recorded in the insert, indicating complaints, objective status, diagnosis, and referral for inpatient treatment. After discharge, the record indicates the presence (absence) of complaints, objective status, results of tests at discharge, criteria for recovery, and a note is made about admission to military service, indicating the date of arrival for a medical examination for the purpose of admission to flight and flight control.

      8. When the insert is completely filled, it is replaced with a new one, and the old one is stored in a separate package along with the results of previous studies over the past three years.

  Appendix 1-4
to the Rules for aeromedical safety
of state aviation of the
Republic of Kazakhstan

Methodology for medical testing of oxygen

      Footnote. The Rules were supplemented with Appendix 1-4 in accordance with the Order of the Minister of Defense of the Republic of Kazakhstan dated 18.04.2024 № 389 (shall be put into effect ten calendar days after its first official publication).

      A mobile oxygen filling station is used to fill (charge) aircraft oxygen systems with gaseous medical oxygen. Each mobile oxygen filling station has a capacity in the form of a battery of high-pressure cylinders. The compressors are powered by the vehicle's engine. The principle of operation of all mobile oxygen filling stations is the same and consists of transferring compressed gaseous oxygen from high-pressure cylinders to lower-pressure cylinders, followed by increasing its pressure to a specified level using a compressor.

      Before flights, the aviation unit's medical service checks the documentation (passports) for oxygen, the hygienic condition of oxygen refueling equipment, and conducts an organoleptic assessment of its quality.

      This check includes verification of documents (passports) confirming the quality of gases, the cleanliness of hoses and fittings of refueling equipment, the availability of special clothing (white coats), alcohol for processing fittings and refueling hoses.

      The passport (certificate) that determines the quality of oxygen contains the following information:

      1) the name of the manufacturer and its trademark;

      2) batch number;

      3) date of manufacture, mass of liquid oxygen;

      4) results of physical and chemical analysis.

      Medical oxygen intended for breathing during high-altitude flight contains at least 99.5% pure oxygen by volume; it is odorless and does not contain acetylene, oils, carbon monoxide, gaseous acids and bases, moisture, or mechanical impurities.

      Gaseous oxygen obtained by electrolysis of water is not used for medical purposes.

      Medical gaseous oxygen meets the following requirements in terms of harmful impurities:

Name of indicators

Norm

Appearance

colorless, odorless gas

Carbon monoxide (CO) content

absent

Carbon dioxide (CO2) content

absent

Nitrogen and oxidizing gas content

absent

Water vapor content

no more than 0.07 grams per cubic meter at a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius and a pressure of 760 millimeters of mercury

      The organoleptic assessment of oxygen quality is carried out as follows. The driver of the mobile oxygen filling station is asked to turn on the oxygen supply at low pressure and direct the oxygen hose away from people and flammable surfaces toward a clean mirror held in such a way that the oxygen reflected from the mirror hits the face. At the same time, the smell (oxygen is odorless) and humidity of the oxygen (the surface of the mirror does not fog up) are determined.

      Then the oxygen stream is directed onto black fabric (to check for the absence of light impurities) and white fabric (to check for the absence of dark impurities).

      After the check, the medical worker makes a note in the passport about the permission to use oxygen to refuel aircraft systems.

      Note:

      1. To register the data of the preflight, between-flight, post-flight medical examination of aviation personnel, the title of the book is amended as follows: “The register of the results of the pre-flight (between-flight, post-flight) medical examination of aviation personnel”. During the between-flight and post-flight medical examination, it is necessary to indicate the time elapsed from the moment of landing of the aircraft.

      2. To register the data of the preflight medical examination of the crews of aircraft performing overflights, the title of the book is amended as follows: “The register of the results of the preflight medical examination of crews of aircraft performing overflights”.

      3. To register the data of the medical examination of persons maintaining flights, the title of the book is amended as follows: “The register of the results of medical examination of persons maintaining flights”.
