AcuNetx Files for Patent Protection of Its HawkEye(TM) HGN Trainer, A Device to Aid Law Enforcement Officers in Learning The 'Standardized Field Sobriety Test' (SFST).

SUPERIOR, Colo. -- Product successfully launched by Company's VisioNetx division at 2006 Lifesavers National Conference on Highway Safety Priorities

"HawkEye is especially relevant in refining officers' identification of Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus ('HGN'), certainly the most sensitive and evidentiary component of the Standardized Field Sobriety Test." -- Dr. Terry Knapp, President and CEO, AcuNetx

AcuNetx (OTC.BB: ANTX) announced today that it has filed for patent protection of its HawkEye HGN Trainer(TM), which is manufactured and marketed by the Company's VisioNetx division. The HawkEye device, co-invented by Ron Waldorf, a neurophysiologist and AcuNetx founder and director, captures eye movements as a training tool to aid police officers in learning how to administer the Standardized Field Sobriety Test (SFST). HawkEye consists of a goggle-like frame that allows law enforcement officers to manually test the eye movements and responses of a subject, while directly observing eye responses and capturing these responses in 'live' video using infrared cameras. The subject's captured eye responses can then be stored and played back for instructor critique, and as an ongoing training guide.

"We believe that our HawkEye product will prove invaluable to law enforcement authorities--particularly at this time," said Terry Knapp, President and Chief Executive Officer of AcuNetx. "Recently, the Wisconsin Court of Appeals, the highest Court of Wisconsin, ruled that 'FSTs (field sobriety tests) are not scientific tests. They are merely observational tools that law enforcement officers commonly use to assist them in discerning various indications of intoxication, the perception of which is necessarily subjective.' Our HawkEye product is all about helping officers be objective about identifying impaired individuals. Based on the reactions we had to our product at this year's Lifesavers conference, we are very bullish about the prospects for HawkEye."

"HawkEye is perfect for SFST training, as well as Drug Recognition Expert (DRE) applications," added Sgt. Richard Studdard, LAPD (ret.), the originator of the DRE program now used by police jurisdictions across the United States, and a recognized international expert on the Standardized Field Sobriety Test and human impairment. He is a consultant to VisioNetx. AcuNetx believes that the potential U.S. market for the HawkEye product--when used solely for training purposes--is estimated to be $3 - $10 million annually. However, with evidence capture usage at the precinct house, its U.S. market potential soars to about $100 million annually. The HawkEye HGN Trainer is the first in a series of patent-pending products designed expressly to meet the needs of the law enforcement community for applications involved with the Standardized Field Sobriety Test (SFST), as well as Drug Recognition Expert (DRE) evaluations. In development for launch later this year is a "hardened" version of the device called EagleEye HGN Capture(TM) for roadside use from patrol cars, with communications links to the police station--with more than 500,000 patrol cars in the U.S., a potential $3 billion dollar market opportunity. Using enhanced video technology, coupled with infrared illumination, HawkEye and EagleEye allow for the observation and documentation of the entire array of eye signs associated with SFST and DRE test procedures.
