The technology behind it has been out for several years....its basically just putting it into a different type of casing/packaging and marketing it for a completely different purpose.

I'm certainly no expert on patents, but it doesn't sound to me like your idea will be patentable. But, without specifics it's tough to say for sure. I'd suggest you talk to a patent lawyer and ask him/her about the patentability of your product. If it's possible to patent your idea/product, he can also tell you what you need to do in order to get your idea into a state that is patentable.
