Intended use: Exclusively for medical emergencies, rescue operations, extrication, and authorized emergency scenarios; not to be used as a weapon or for unintended purposes.
Training & proficiency: Operators must be trained in medical shears use and rescue techniques; practice deployment in controlled settings before real emergencies.
Pre-use inspection: Before use, check integrity of blades, lock mechanism, strap/ring cutters, glass breaker, ruler markings, and wrench fit; do not use if any part shows wear, deformation, or malfunction.
Deployment and operation: Open shears carefully, ensuring lock engages fully; use strap cutter solely for intended straps; use glass breaker only on appropriate surfaces requiring extrication.
Cleaning and maintenance: After use, clean thoroughly with mild detergent and water; disinfect or sterilize per medical protocols if used on patients; dry completely; lightly lubricate joints per guidelines; perform deep cleaning if contaminated.
Sterilization: Follow healthcare standards for instrument sterilization; verify material compatibility with methods used (autoclave, chemical disinfectants, etc.).
Component replacement: Replace blades, cutters, or other wear parts only with original or equivalent-quality spares to maintain safety and performance.
Transport and storage: Keep in sheath or designated kit compartment; avoid loose carry that could cause accidental opening; verify sheath closure and integrity before moving.
