"Just to say this up front... I am not 100% sure of this, but I read your 2nd sentence with the following in mind:

PRE-OPERATIVE RECORDS:
Pre-operative records indicate the brand or manufacturer of materials or apparatus that you intend to use to carry out a test, procedure, or protocol. Physicians and researchers that use human subjects often have pre-operative records only this is specified as only a part of what's called an IRB (a document submitted to an institutional review board for approval to carry out an experiment or research). IRB's are much more stringent, however. The records being described in the given sentence I presume are simply of what materials were used when the procedure was actually carried out.

If my presumption is correct, then knife checks, glass checks, breakdown (forms) and "pre-cut test" forms are all parts/materials of this so-called procedure/operation.

BREAKDOWN (FORMS):
Breakdown forms are forms submitted to report the failure (or breakdown) of materials, machinery, and other apparatus in interim (i.o.w. the middle of the operation or procedure). I read this as "breakdown" describing a type of form primarily because you have no comma separating "breakdown" and "and". This indicates to me that "breakdown" is operating on the word "forms" rather than just standing alone.

For example... "I bought a yellow and a green marble, a red and a white hat, and a blue and a black ballpoint pen."

How many items did you buy? 3 or 6? The answer here should be obvious... but the correct answer is 6. Why? The words yellow, red, and blue aren't standing alone as unmodified nouns. They in fact are modifying "marble", "hat", and "ballpoint pen" respectively and thus operating as an adjective. Therefore, what's indicated in this sentence is: "I bought a blue (marble) and a green marble, a red (hat) and a white hat, and a blue (ballpoint pen) and a black ballpoint pen." Because of our wonderful English grammar system, we could clean this sentence up in 2 ways: comma use or elimination of redundancies.

Comma use: I bought a blue marble, green marble, red hat, white hat, blue ballpoint pen, and a black ballpoint pen.

Elimination of redudancies: I bought a blue and a green marble, a red and a white hat, and a blue and a black ballpoint pen.

In your sentence above, I think it's a question of eliminating the redudancy of repeating "forms".

So technically, it could have read as: "Pre-operative records are available for knife and glass checks, as well as for breakdown and pre-cut test forms."

(Note the eliminated redundancy between "knife checks" and "glass checks")


PRE-CUT TEST:
Here I think "pre-cut" is abbreviation for "preliminary cut" or "preliminary elimination". It's not my impression that it means 'cut (as in with a cutting device) prior to use'. A "pre-cut test" seems to me like a preliminary test or pilot test to examine a protocol, product or procedure (PPP) and eliminate portions of the PPP to get the best results in the end or final version of the PP or P.
