Does OPTOVERA diagnose impairment?
A pupillary-response alteration does not diagnose or determine impairment.
No. OPTOVERA does not diagnose or determine impairment.
OPTOVERA analyzes characteristics of the Pupillary Light Reflex (PLR), the involuntary change in pupil diameter in response to changes in light, and compares the result against the User’s individual baseline. This comparison helps identify whether the User’s current pupillary response shows a significant alteration relative to that User’s baseline at that point in time.
A result may indicate that the User’s current response is altered when compared with their baseline, but OPTOVERA does not determine the cause of that alteration. A change in PLR may be associated with different factors, and OPTOVERA does not identify or diagnose any specific condition.
An Alteration Detected result should be treated as a safety signal that requires review under the organization’s internal safety procedure. It must not be interpreted or used as evidence of impairment, misconduct, alcohol use, drug use, or any other specific cause.
OPTOVERA does not assign blame, accuse a User of wrongdoing, or make employment, disciplinary, medical, or fitness-for-duty decisions on behalf of the Customer.
