Shisui could use it any time he wanted, within "other" limits (e.g., running out of chakra). The Senju are distant cousins to the Uchiha, and have potent enough chakra to use the technique, IF they get their hands on the eye.

I don't know about the arm. Maybe Danzou used Shisui's ability on Itachi with his Hashirama cells.
