From The Dental Tribune, October 2008

The NOMAD Pro

In the beginning, there was the NOMAD Handheld X-ray System. And the marketplace saw the NOMAD, and beheld that it was good.

Very good. NOMAD by Aribex quickly became the choice of thousands of dental practitioners across the country for its incredible portability, convenience and ease of use.

But Aribex knew that more was possible. Setting themselves high goals, the company set out to create a device even more versatile and easier to use. The result—NOMAD Pro.

Announced in February of 2008 and with shipments beginning in July, NOMAD Pro extended the company’s battery-powered handheld platform by introducing a full-color LCD display screen, preset exposure settings, and additional time-saving features in a smaller, sleeker, and lighter design.

“The NOMAD has forever changed the way that dental radiography is performed by allowing an operator to safely stay in the room during a dental X-ray procedure,” said Dr. D. Clark Turner, president and chief executive officer of Aribex, Inc. “We’re sure this new NOMAD Pro will fill a need in the marketplace and become a staple in dental offices everywhere.”

NOMAD Pro is designed for general purpose dental use and is ideal for use with children, sedated patients or special needs patients. Weighing just five and a half pounds, the NOMAD Pro can easily be used in the office and then taken to the hospital, nursing home, or any location for treatment at the point-of-care.

With the NOMAD Pro, as with the original NOMAD, the technician stays right next to the patient, positions the device and simply takes the radiograph. This saves time for the operator, shortens the time the patient has to sit still with film or a sensor in their mouth, and reduces retakes. The device’s rechargeable battery gives hundreds of diagnostic-quality radiographs with a single charge.

Cleared by the FDA for marketing in the U.S., the NOMAD Pro incorporates modern internal shielding to block radiation leakage and a backscatter shield to protect the operator from X-rays scattered from the patient.
