The Tools of the Trade: DRE equipment

A DRE utilizes the following equipment in conducting a drug influence evaluation:

• Pupillometer: a small, approximately 3 inch by 5 inch card (approximately 7 to 12 cm), that is usually plastic, that displays dark circles ranging in half-millimeter gradations from 1.0 millimeters to 9.0 millimeters.

• Sphygmomanometer: a manual, aneroid blood pressure cuff consisting of a pumping bulb, a screw valve, an analog gauge, and a bladder.

• Stethoscope: single or double diaphragm, double tubed.

• Thermometer: oral, digital, with disposable covers.

• Penlight: low power, medical style.

• Magnifying light: generally five to ten magnification power, similar to those used by stamp collectors and model builders.

• Pen or Pencil: used as a stylus to conduct eye movement examinations.

• Evidence containers: for blood or urine.

• Protective gloves, latex and/or rubber.

In addition, DREs may utilize a specialized, short distance, instant camera to take photos of injection marks, nasal and oral cavities, and of other evidence. DREs may also utilize various type of breath testing equipment, including preliminary breath testers.
