CMS Standards: The use of restraining or seclusion interventions must never act as a barrier to the provision of safe and appropriate care, treatments, and other interventions to meet the needs of the patient. CMS does not consider the use of weapons in the application of restraining as safe appropriate health care interventions. We consider the term weapons to include pepper spray, mace, nightsticks, Tasers, cattle prods, stun guns, pistols and other such devices. Security staff may carry weapons as allowed by hospital policy and State law. The use of weapons by security staff is considered as a law enforcement use and not a health care intervention. CMS does not approve the use of weapons by any hospital staff as a means of subduing a patient to place that patient in patient restraint/seclusion. If a weapon is used by security or law enforcement personnel on a person in a hospital to protect people or hospital property from harm, we would expect the situation to be handled as a criminal activity and the perpetrator be turned over to local law enforcement.
