Hi Marlene - I'm not aware of anyone yet having updated artwork illustrating the new WHO guidance - although there is planning afoot. For now, you may want to use GOAL's older MAMI-MUAC design (that was created under Mark Myatt's guidance) that has been using 2 x cut offs for children 0-6wks (<110mm) and >=7wks - <6mths (<115mm). The artwork is available here: https://www.ennonline.net/mamimuactapes and could easily be modified, removing the reference to younger children and the 115mm cut off, but maintaining the 110mm cut-off and illustrating this relates to children 6wk - <6m. Re. production, we used to use a manufacturer in the UK called Ambroplastics, but their portfolio has been overtaken by Duraweld.co.uk. We have worked with both to ensure the material is of adequate quality and meets the very specific guidance provided by Mark. This ensures the tapes are measuring the true MUAC of the child/PLW, rather than the external tape circumference (including the arm + material thickness), as this provides an incorrect, larger measure, misclassifying numerous children close to the cut-off as 'green', whereas they should have been classified as 'red' and at-risk. If you contact Sharon on: Sharon.heath@duraweld.co.uk and quite Job No. AW50000014, this contains all info' re. the artwork (that can be modified), material specification (incl' thickness - very important) and machining. I would suggest you either ask for a proof to be shared that you can check, or if not viable, they will send high quality images and videos as an alternative. Happy for you to share these with me and I can look for any issues we've flagged with previous print runs (before getting it right).
