QuickFinder Clipper
-
a pet nail clipper
that senses your
pet's quick and gives visual cues when it is safe to begin clipping.
The QuickFinder
Clipper uses QuickSensor Technology to detect nail differences between the live
blood of your pet's quick, and the dead skin of the nail and claw. Three lights
on the clipper in Red-Yellow-Green, show when it is safe to cut, when to be
cautious, and when it is not safe to cut.
The
QuickFinder Clipper is available in four sizes for trimming the nails or claws
on medium-large dogs (up to 75 lbs), small dogs (up to 40 lbs), cats and small
animals, and birds. It is battery operated and includes two AAA batteries.
How Does It Work?
QuickFinder Clipper works on
QuickSensor technology that senses your pet's quick and gives you visual cues as
to when it is safe and when it is not safe to begin clipping.
T he
patented QuickSensor (fig. 1 on left) detects the changes in frequencies in your
pet’s nail due to sensing of the blood vessels and nerve endings in the quick.
When the blood vessels or
nerve endings are detected, the red light will illuminate.
As you move the QuickFinder slowly
toward the tip of the nail, the light will change to yellow (caution) and
finally to green - safe to cut. (fig. 2 on right)
The QuickFinder Clipper is not
designed for high volume usage (e.g. grooming salons, veterinary offices, or
animal shelters).
How To Use the QuickFinder
Clipper? (also refer to Definitions below)
Step
1: Power Up: To power on the unit and keep powered up slightly squeeze
handles together until red light only is illuminated (continue to keep handles
slightly squeezed together to keep power on). If all lights illuminate and
remain on, there is insufficient power and batteries must be replaced. If green
light stays on, turn unit off by releasing handles, wait two seconds for unit to
reset and restart power up phase again. Once red light stays illuminated unit
has sufficient battery power and is ready for operation.
Step
2: With unit powered up (red light on), insert nail into fixed blade hole
from under side of clipper. Keep nail at 90º angle and against sensor side of
the fixed blade hole. Move cutting blades toward base of nail far enough that
quick in the nail will be detected for the first time. The red light will
flicker and remain on. This sets the sensor to the quick in the nail. Note that
the nail should continually be on the sensor side of the hole during sensing for
sensing to occur.
Step 3: Maintaining power
to unit, move cutting blades back towards nail tip away from nail base. The
yellow light may briefly illuminate as blade and sensor approaches nail without
quick. Continue moving cutting blades outward until green light illuminates
indicating a safe cut. It is not safe to clip when yellow or red lights are on.
Step 4: While maintaining
position and angle (90º) of clipper, squeeze handles together in firm swift
motion to avoid crushing nail. It is normal for green light to turn off at end
of clipping action after blade has cut through nail. If red light stays on,
power off device and restart clipping process (Step 1). The QuickFinder will
automatically turn off in open position (Handles not depressed).
Definitions:
Quick – nerve and blood
vessel inside the nail.
Tip of Nail – growth of
nail beyond the quick that is safe to clip.
Moving Blade – half round
metal clipping surface.
Fixed Blade – the metal
loop the blade slides across.
Clipping – the action of
trimming or cutting the nail tip.
