Press Releases

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.
