WHAT IS PUPILLOMETERY? ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Pupillometry is the measuring of pupil dynamics by means of a light
PUPIL PHYSIOLOGY ,[object Object],The parasympathetic nervous system Relaxed ”slows down” the electrical  system  of the   body The sympathetic nervous system  ” speeds up” the   electrical  system  of the body The two systems working together keeps the   body in balance
PUPIL REACTION ,[object Object]
PUPILLOMETERY GENERAL MEDICAL PRACTICE Pen lights are usually used on pupils in medical offices to assess CNS function for response and size patterns. PUPIL  CARD Police officers who are highly trained in detecting and recognizing impairment caused by substances, examines arrestee’s pupils for size and response patterns.

STUDIES -  Illinois State Police Study December 2003 – CONCLUSION “  EyeCheck   Pupillometry  can  measure a physiological sign of impairment. It will not determine if a person was impaired several days ago and now has recovered to normal. Conversely, the use of urine tests may indicate the presence of a drug or substance, but not impairment at that time. “ “  EyeCheck   Pupillometry has demonstrated its usefulness as a tool in screening for impairment .  Overall, it appears to be a valid and cost effective tool for its intended purpose . It requires minimal training to operate, is portable, and is adaptable to a variety of  testing and screening programs.  “ Dr. Jack Richman, Board member IACP, TAP

Editor's Notes

  1. Drug Testing Africa has been in Africa since the end of 2006. Our sister company Drug Testing Australia used to supply Africa from Australia – for logistic purposes we decided to open up a branch in South Africa. The group has been trading in the diagnostic testing industry since 1996. The company's mission is to be a preferred supplier of high quality sophisticated and innovative diagnostic assays to consumers and professionals. With that in mind,
