L-6 CBRN Medical Countermeasures.

1. MEDICAL COUNTERMEASURES. Medical countermeasures are required as part of the ship CBRN Equipment Inventories and are listed in the current ship CBRN AEL. The following are the required medical countermeasures:

a. Pyridostigmine Bromide. These tablets are a pre-treatment that must be refrigerated to preserve effectiveness.

b. Atropine is an anticholinergic used as an antidote for nerve agents to counteract excessive amounts of acetylcholine. It also has other extensive medicinal uses.

c. Diazepam (CANA) is a Schedule IV controlled substance. It is an anticonvulsant to be administered only by or as specifically directed by qualified medical personnel and stored per applicable regulations.

d. Antidote Treatment Nerve Agent, Auto-Injector (ATNAA) provides Atropine Injection and Pralidoxime (2PAM) Chloride Injection in separate chambers as sterile, pyrogen-free solutions for intramuscular injection. It is a specially designed unit for automatic self or buddy-aide administration by military personnel. When used, ATNAA administers both Atropine and 2 PAM through a single needle into the muscles of an outer thigh or the buttocks, dispensing a mixed dosage of 2.1 mg of atropine and 600 mg of 2 PAM. If a vessel has a full allowance of ATNAA, individual atropine and 2PAM are not required.

e. Pralidoxime Chloride (2 PAM) is an oxime used in the treatment of organophosphate insecticides and nerve agent poisoning to block the inhibition of acetylcholinesterase by nerve agents.

f. Ciprofloxacin (ciprofloxacin hydrochloride) tablets and CIPRO (ciprofloxacin) oral suspension are synthetic broad-spectrum antimicrobial agents for oral administration.

g. Optical inserts/Vision Correction Assembly are required by all mariners in shipboard leadership roles or survey/DECON team positions as well as those crewmembers that require corrective lenses to conduct their normal shipboard duties. They are required to have optical inserts for use with the M50 protective mask. Further guidance for obtaining prescriptive eyewear is described in the current CBRN AEL.

h. Storage of CBRN Equipment and Supplies such as Individual Protective Equipment

(IPE), medical supplies (not needing refrigeration), and general use of DECON material must be stowed in the CBRN locker.

(1) CBRN lockers must be located in environmentally controlled spaces.

j. The CBRN Medical countermeasures currently managed by MSC N44 Special Material

Logistics Type Desk

(1) Atropine auto-injectors, Pralidoxime (2-PAM) auto-injectors, ATNAA, Diazepam (Controlled Narcotic) auto-injectors, Pyridostigmine Bromide Tablets, and Ciprofloxacin Tablets.

(a) Diazepam (CANA) is a Schedule IV Controlled substance that is required to be mailto:MSC_CBRD@navy.mil locked in a cabinet within a locked space. For ships with small CANA inventories and ships without a Medical Service Officer (MSO), Medical Department Representative (MDR), or a Medical Safe, CANA must be locked in the CO/Master’s Safe. The MSO or MDR when assigned shall maintain custody of CANA in the same manner as with any Controlled Substance.

CANA Auto-Injectors must be included and accounted for by the Controlled Substances Inventory Board (CSIB) appointed by the ship’s CO/Master/Commander/OIC. Records of Controlled Substances, Receipt, Storage, Use and Disposal must be maintained to include manufacturer, lot, and expiration dates.

(b) CBRN Medical countermeasures: Other than Controlled substance:

(2) All other medical countermeasures: Atropine auto-injectors, Pralidoxime (2-PAM) auto-injectors, ATNAA, Pyridostigmine Bromide, and Ciprofloxacin should be stored in a temperature-controlled, locked space to ensure effectiveness and accountability. Pyridostigmine Bromide tabs must be refrigerated between 2-8 degrees Celsius.

(3) Expired Medical countermeasures

(a) Vessels that normally operate in CONUS or that have ready access to the U.S.

Postal Service; the replacement of expired medical countermeasures shall be coordinated through the ship’s CBRNO/MSO/Medical Representative, respective PML and the MSC N-44 Special Materials Type Desk. Upon receipt of new medical countermeasures from the MSC W- 143 warehouse, the expired medical countermeasures must be shipped back to MSC W-143 warehouse for proper processing and disposal with no exceptions. All shipments of CBRN controlled substances, as well as non-controlled shipments to and from building W-143, shall be handled as “Sensitive Inventory Items and Controlled Substances” requiring registered Parcel Post, Return Receipt Requested Service or other traceable means through commercial small packages carries such as UPS or FEDEX. The Receiving Activity must provide the printed name and signature of the person receiving the shipment on the domestic return receipt (PS FORM 3811) if sent by registered mail.

(b) Vessels that are forward-deployed (OCONUS) and do not return to CONUS for long periods of time, medicinal destruction/disposal shall be handled on a case-by- case basis.

Ships must coordinate first with their respective PML, the MSC N44 CBRN/ATFP Logistics Type Desk Manager, and MSC CBRNO to ensure that the medical countermeasures have expired or will expire with no expectation of extension. Once this verification has occurred, and MSC CBRNO has received approval for onsite disposal, the expired must be destroyed per reference (j). The additional amplified instructions above are required by MSC to complete the disposal process.

(c) For additional questions or electronic copies of forms/instructions, the ship CBRNO/MSO/Medical Representative should contact the PML or the MSC N44 CBRN Logistics Type Desk Manager.
