NOMAD Pro 2
NOMAD Pro 2 Handheld X-ray System is a battery-powered, portable dental X-ray source
designed for handheld operation. It is designed to produce diagnostic quality images utilizing
either film or digital imaging techniques. The NOMAD Pro 2 Handheld X-ray System is designed
for use in a dental office. It can also be used in other similar environments (orthodontic
office, general practitioner’s office, hospital ward, etc.) where appropriate safeguards are
implemented. The device uses a rechargeable battery to allow for the use of the NOMAD
Pro 2 Handheld X-ray System where transportation or use of other x-ray devices might be
prohibitive due to the other device’s size and/or lack of mobility.
The NOMAD Pro 2 Handheld X-ray System is an X-ray device with a DC generator. The
handheld device features a main unit (tube head), rechargeable battery (handset), charger,
and charger AC/DC power supply. The power is supplied by a rechargeable Lithium Ion battery
core pack built into a handset. This facilitates portability of the device. A beam-limiting cone
is incorporated within the device. Internal and external shielding provide sufficient radiation
protection to allow the clinician to remain in the operatory with the patient.
To make the system as simple as possible for the operator, NOMAD Pro 2 Handheld Xray
System uses a fixed tube voltage of 60kV and a fixed tube current of 2.5mA. The only operator-
adjustable parameter is the exposure time. This adjustment can be quickly accomplished
through the user-friendly control panel.
Control buttons, display, and a trigger provide the primary operator interface. Settings can
be selected and displayed. Voltage (60 kV) and current (2.5 mA) are fixed with the exposure
time varying based on patient type, detector type, and anatomical feature. Exposures can be
completed using the trigger. The device can be used with three detector types: film, digital
imaging intraoral sensors, and phosphor plates.
NOMAD Pro 2 has a beneficial effect on the dental health of the patient, and results in the
meaningful (relevant to the patient) and measurable positive impacts on outcomes related
to diagnosis, such as allowing a correct diagnosis to be made, providing early diagnosis of
diseases or specifics of diseases, or identifying patients more likely to respond to a given
treatment.
