Who We Are • PRECISION MEDICAL is a privately owned medical device company formed in 2014 to promote a new innovated technology based on NON-invasive Bio-marker detection for Autonomic Peripheral Neuropathy(APN). • Hyperion is located in Dallas, TX and our local affiliation is Precision Medical is located in Atlanta, GA. • Precision Medical is an authorized distributor for Hyperion Medical and sudomotor technology.

Smart SKAN DISTAL NEUROPATHY (small fiber tissue detection) IS ONE OF THE MORE UNDERDIAGNOSED CONDITIONS ON MEDICAL RECORD TODAY. All Nerves Can Become Neuropathic SmartSKAN technology is to the clinician, what an X-ray is to an orthopedic surgeon OR an ultrasound is to a GBYN. Confidential: Precision Medical
What SeperatesSmartSKAN • SmartSKAN • 1) Provides Quantitative Measurement • 2) Tracts and Assesses the Patient's condition • 3) Easy to Use ( non-invasive) • 4) Reproducible – 95% • 5) No patient preparation • SmartSKAN is FDA approved and Recognized by the Neuropathy and Diabetes Association s. Confidential: Precision Medical
Why Use SmartSKAN? • HOW OFTEN WOULD YOU BIOPSY A PATIENT IF YOU HAD THE ADVANTAGE OF AVOIDING THE RISK OF AN INVASIVE BIOPSY PROCEDURE ? SMARTSKAN IS A SIMPLE 3 MINUTE TEST -ASSESSING THE ASYMMETRY OF NERVE ENTRAPMENT In Cardiac conditions - Autonomic neuropathy MUST be recognized to reduce the mortality of CAN(cardiac autonomic neuropathy). Treatments include B-blockers, ACE Inhibitors, clonidine, pyridostigmine, etc, pending symptoms. Confidential: Precision Medical
Large VS Small NervesLarge Nerves ARE Most Commonly Assessed • Nerve Conduction Study (EMG) Monofilament • SmartSKAN Provides Distal Autonomic Nerve (small fiber tissue) diagnosis Confidential: Precision Medical
How SmartSKAN Works • In short Iontophoresis(alternate currant) that works in conjunction with Chromoamperometry(low frequency voltage). • This non-invasive scanner analyses the sweat glands to release chloride ions in response to an electrochemical stimulus. • The level of activity is linked to the status of small nerve fibers innervating sweat glands. • The patient is grounded through grounding pads- securing patient providing accurate results Confidential: Precision Medical
How It Works- Iontopherisis • As shown above, we see a + and – currant flowing in and out between the dermis and the epidermis tissues. Electrochemical Skin Conductance (ESC) is derived from the chloride ion flow released from the mild stimulation. Confidential: Precision Medical
Results: Chromoamperometry • The results are concluded through the Conductance ratio between the current measured and the difference in the voltages obtained (∆anode-cathode) • ESC: Electrochemical Skin Conductance is Obtained when the low voltage is applied to the anode • A broken line indicates that to patient moved , broke the ground and the scan has to be repeated Confidential: Precision Medical
Sudorimetry with SmarkSKAN • BEFORE ANY CLINICAL SIGNS OR SYMPTOMS ARE PRESENTSudomotor dysfunction is the first detection of damage to neurological distubances in DISTAL SMALL FIBER neuropathies.In the graph to the right, the blue lines repersent the autonomic nerves generating upward and stimulating the glands. • Sensitive length-dependent damage includes: (underlying back disorders) Confidential: Precision Medical
Quantitative MeasurmentsWhat YOU will see on YOUR Test Display • Test display has 4 -components - the radar views - the feet and hand ESC graphs and scores - degrees of asymmetry - patient demographics Confidential: Precision Medical
Approved Medicare Indications • Amyloid Neuropathy • Diabetic Autonomic Neuropathy • Distal Small Fiber Neuropathy • Idiopathic Neuropathy • Multiple System Atrophy • Pure Autonomic Failure • Relex Sympathic Distopy or Causalgia • Sjogren's Syndrome Confidential: Precision Medical
Other Indications • How Do YOU Treat Patient Complaints of Non-Related Diabetic Pain such as: Tingling of the Hands and Feet, Unexplained Dizziness, Gastric and Bladder Dysfunctions? • SmartSKAN Rules OUT Autonomic Dysfunction The FDA approves testing to prevent diabetic amputaion through preventative detection of small distal nerve dsyfunction. Confidential: Precision Medical Confidential: Precision Medical
Early Detection-Other • SmartSKAN is also effective in, ALCOHOL DETECTION – CEREBRAL EDEMA-HYPOTHYROISM – RENAL – HIV – CONNECTIVE TISSUE DISEASE – B12 DEFICIENCY – CARPAL TUNNEL- PAF(neuro-degeneration) RSD (hands) • MULTIPLE SYSTEM ATROPHY (MSA) is a degenerative neurological brain disorder. This cell degeneration causes problems with movement, balance, and other autonomic functions of the body such as bladder control or blood-pressure regulation. The cause of MSA is unknown specific risk factors have been identified. Confidential: Precision Medical
Follow UPSNormal and Abnormal Results & Billing • If SmarkSKAN results are NORMAL It is recommended to repeat testing in 6 to 9 months, depending on patient’s risk factors concerning diabetes, cardio, kidney, hypothyroid, etc) • If SmartSKAN results areABNORMAL Implement appropriate work-up or referrals Repeat SmartSKAN in 3 months to monitor progress – Nerve regeneration occurs in as little as 40 to 50 days • BILLING State regulated Medicare CPT/ID9 codes provided Billable, office calls, testing, consultations and follow-ups. Precision Medical provides codes for billing. Confidential: Precision Medical
SmartSKAN is Utilized IN: • INTERNAL MEDICINE, Including Rheumatology Peripheral Pain Syndrome - follow up intervention strategies. • ENDROCRINOLOGY and DIABETES DETECTIONAutonomic and peripheral neuropathy/response- Referrals to Neurology or Cardiology • NEUROLOGY: Diagnosis and follow up of small fiber neuropathy or nerve conduction studies • CARDIOLOGYEvaluation for cardia autonomic neuropathy and progression in therapeutic intervention • PM&R Peripheral pain syndrome/symptoms (orthostatic hypotension, gastroparesis, exercise intolerance, follow up • PAIN CLINICS Detect suspected small fiber neuropathy, ID small fiber in patients with peripheral pain syndromes(e.g.fibromyalgia) Confidential: Precision Medical
Physician's Interpretation GuidePrecision Medical provides a Physician Interpretation Guide to assist in accurately Pinpointing a patient's diagnosis -An example shown below shows a patient with balanced hand and feet asymmetry. The red dotted line indicates the spine. The X's indicate the patient area of the spine where the radial dysfunction and nerve dysfunction exists. You will receive a full physician interpretation guide and further insturctions to pinpointand disagnois multiple conditions effecting patient outcome. Confidential: Precision Medical
