Aribex NOMAD Approved in 33 States
Orem, Utah -- October 24, 2007 - Aribex, Inc. announced the NOMAD
handheld X-ray device has been approved for use in 33 states.
Seeking approval to operate under a new “handheld class” of
X-ray, the NOMAD is now available for use in Washington and Florida.
Already cleared for sale in the United States by the FDA in July
2005, the NOMAD requires additional individual state approval.
Florida has approved the NOMAD for use without restrictions for
dental use. The State of Washington approved the NOMAD for use
with special needs patients and in mobile settings.
Over 1,200 NOMAD units have been sold since Aribex opened its
doors in 2005. Additionally, it is approved for use in the District
of Columbia, Mexico, India, UK, Italy, Hong Kong, Thailand, New
Zealand, Australia, and Columbia.
“We appreciate the efforts of state regulators to make the NOMAD
available to the dental and veterinary professionals of their
states,” said D. Clark Turner, PhD, president and CEO of Aribex.
“We look forward to working with dentists and veterinarians
to bring handheld X-ray to their patients and improve dental
care,” said Pete Steinhausen, director of Aribex worldwide sales
and marketing.
NOMAD is a handheld intraoral X-ray system that allows the operator
to stay with the patient during the X-ray. An external backscatter
shield and unique internal radiation shielding ensure operator
safety by reducing radiation exposure well below the regulatory
limits. It has been clinically shown that NOMAD produces high
diagnostic quality X-ray, and is compatible with both film and
digital imaging media. NOMAD provides the highest quality images
and lowest patient dosage. It is handheld, cordless and battery-powered-
the only one of its kind in the X-ray market.
Aribex, Inc. has quickly become recognized as a worldwide leader
in innovative, handheld X-ray products. Aribex’s flagship product,
the NOMAD X-ray system, was named one of the top ten dental products
for 2006 by Dentistry Today.
