South Carolina drivers who believe a medical condition prevents them from using an ignition interlock device (IID) start with this certification. A pulmonary physician answers whether the driver has normal lung capacity to blow into a device for 5 seconds or, failing that, enough for 2.5 seconds. A vendor approved by the Department of Probation, Parole and Pardon Services then tests whether the driver can give a measurable sample.
The driver completes Section I; a pulmonary physician completes and signs Section II with a professional license number; the IID vendor representative completes Section III.

Only a pulmonary physician. Section II is titled Pulmonary Physician Certification and asks for the physician's name, professional license number, signature and date, along with the two lung capacity answers.
Not by itself. After Section II, the driver submits the form to a vendor pre-approved by the South Carolina Department of Probation, Parole and Pardon Services, which determines whether the driver can operate an IID. If the driver gives a measurable breath sample, the device must be installed.
Whether the driver shows normal lung capacity to blow into a device for 5 seconds and, if not, whether they have enough lung capacity to blow for 2.5 seconds. Both are yes/no questions answered in the physician's medical opinion.
