Introduction to Technology
Measure of “hot particle” dose
3 layer analysis
3 Layer Analysis Shallow dose
70 microns – dead layer of skin surface Biologically important
1,000 microns – Melanoma occurs Eye dose
3,000 microns – cornea thickness Deep dose
10,000 microns – possible removal of skin

Arenas Radiation Detection Device Initial Market segments
Nuclear Power Plants (NPP)○ 104 NPPs in the US since 1998○ 439 NPPs in the World as of 2007○ 112 new NPPs worldwide by 2020
Medical and Diagnostic Equipment○ 13,340 US facilities as of 2006○ 202,000 employees
Arenas Focus will be the US and then worldwide Core Technology

Vehicles Internal development
Invention disclosure filedPatent needed for software analysisScaling product size down
Business modelSales and service (training)Outsource manufacturing
Alliance with equipment manufacturesMajor players: GE, Siemens, Philips, etc.
Differentiators Attributes
Quick and accurateDigital versus analogueNo calibration and low voltage requiredType of radiation does not matterThree depth measurement
BenefitsLimited skill level needed for operationMedical diagnosis delay shortenedMinimize damage costsIncrease worker safety procedures
Staging Timing
Scientific development is still on-going
1 to 3 years to market Prioritize potential markets
Nuclear Power PlantsMedical facilities with diagnostic equipmentFirst Responders and Hazmat workersMilitary field operations
Economic Logic Business model
Outsourcing to limit capital requirementsService through training to ensure accuracy
Customer returnDamage cost reductions
○ Workman’s comp claims○ Patient malpractice lawsuits
Profit potentialHigh selling priceService feesCaptive customer for generational improvements
Major Hurdles Regulation language
Preferred, accepted, required Demonstrating cost/benefit
Settlement figures Expanding the market
Lack of sophisticated detection devices in the medical industry
