ArcScan, Inc.

ArcScan, Inc. merged with Ultralink LLC August 2007 and plans to introduce a new version of Ultralink's Artemis technology. Ultralink had earlier developed and produced the proof-of-principle Artemis 1 ultrasonic scanning device, which is still in daily use and the London Vision Clinic. Subsequently, Ultralink developed, produced and sold over two dozen Artemis 2 devices, which proved that the development concept in the Artemis 1 was a commercially valuable instrument for ophthalmologists around the world.

Although the Artemis 2 scanner was a clinical success for ophthalmologists, it was not a commercial success for Ultralink due to the product's manufacturing and maintenance costs.

ArcScan, Inc. was formed in Colorado in cooperation with Ultralink LLC to relaunch the Artemis Digital Ultrasound Eye ArcScanner with a fresh design to deliver both clinical and commercial success.

Strategy

Our goal is to provide professionals in the areas of refractive surgery and implants with a diagnostic tool enabling them to enhance the quality of care. We accomplish this goal by:

• Combining state of the art high-resolution images with an advanced user interface, useful in the many emerging refractive implant technologies
  
  
• Developing critical components to LASIK custom ablation technology.
  
  
• Focussed ultrasound imaging research providing new protocols that improve clinical efficiency
  
  
• Developing a universal platform capable of imaging any segment of the globe
  
  
• Demonstrate new software interface developed to accurately measure angle-angle, sulcus-sulcus, axial length, and scleral thickness for emerging refractive lens technologies. Emerging presbyopic lens and other emerging technologies will find this new level of accuracy to be a new level of safety for effective outcomes.
  
  
• Demonstrate arc-scan accuracy in 3-D corneal thickness measurements for lasik surgical retreats, corneal implants, and emerging glaucoma diagnostics and applications.
  
  
  

Product Development

ArcScan has entered into a development contract with Evergreen Research, Inc. of Evergreen, Colorado to design the Artemis 3 ArcScanner. ArcScan will continue to work with past Ultralink customers and other ophthalmologists to ensure the device, when it is available, expands the capability of the popular Artemis 2 ArcScanner.
