Difficulty: MediumDirect Fact Retrieval

During monthly safety inspections of shipboard Emergency Escape Breathing Devices (EEBDs), damage control personnel must examine the pressure relief indicator disc. If the visual inspection gauge indicates a charge level below 2,800 pounds per square inch (psi), the unit must immediately be removed from the berthing compartment and tagged for depot overhaul. Additionally, the tamper-evident security seal on the clear casing must remain intact; any broken seal requires complete hydrostatic testing rather than simple cylinder recharging. Units that meet all pressure requirements are wiped with a dry lint-free cloth and returned to their designated bulkhead mounting bracket.

According to the passage, what procedure must be performed if the tamper-evident security seal is found broken?

  1. A
    Tagging the unit for depot overhaul
  2. Complete hydrostatic testingAnswer
  3. C
    Simple cylinder recharging
  4. D
    Wiping the casing with a dry lint-free cloth and remounting it

Answer

Complete hydrostatic testing
The author directly states that any broken tamper-evident security seal mandates complete hydrostatic testing before the device can be cleared.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Locate the key condition in the stem regarding the tamper-evident security seal.
Identified the target sentence: 'any broken seal requires complete hydrostatic testing rather than simple cylinder recharging.'
Direct fact retrieval requires scanning specifically for the phrase or subject mentioned in the question stem.
2
Extract the explicit mandatory response specified for that specific condition.
The mandated protocol is 'complete hydrostatic testing.'
The text directly couples a broken seal to hydrostatic testing while contrasting it against simple recharging.
