KaVo NOMAD PRO 2
KaVo NOMAD PRO 2 Handheld X-ray System is a battery-operated, portable dental X-ray
source designed for handheld operation. It is designed to produce diagnostic quality X-rays
images utilizing either film or digital imaging techniques. The KaVo 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 KaVo 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 KaVo 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, KaVo 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. Exposures
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.
Accessories supplied with the finished device include:
• Alignment bars* (Class I, Exempt, EHA, 21 CFR 872.1820)
Optional accessories:
• Rectangular collimator – rectangular and smaller exposure area
• Tabletop stand – tabletop storage
• Wall hook – storage and display
• Hard shell carrying case – protection during transportation and storage
*Alignment bars are a device for positioning image receptors and are provided as a
convenience and are not required to be used with the device.
