    1.0 Getting Started 1.1 Indications for Use The NOMAD Pro 2 Handheld X-ray System is indicated for use only by a trained and qualified dentist or dental technician for both adult and pediatric subjects as an extraoral diagnostic dental X-ray source to produce X-ray images using intraoral image receptors.

  • Page 6: Charging The Handsets

    Clean the NOMAD Pro 2. Use a non-acetone based disinfectant wipe or a cloth to  wipe the exterior surfaces of the NOMAD Pro 2 and charger. Do not use cleaners intended for hard surfaces, since certain chemical combinations may deteriorate the NOMAD Pro 2 plastic prematurely.
  • Page 7 NOMAD Use only the supplied AC/DC power supply. Unwrap  the power cord of the power supply and connect it to the charging cradle, then to an AC electrical outlet (universal voltage accommodated). The charger will flash red lights as it initiates, followed by a single green circle that will illuminate to indicate there is adequate power to the charging cradle.

  • Page 8: Safety Precautions

    2.0 Safety Precautions 2.1 Radiation Safety The NOMAD Pro 2 was designed to be used in clinical settings (e.g., dental office), with controlled settings, where transportation or use of other X-ray devices might be prohibitive due to the device’s size and/or mobility.
  • Page 9 NOMAD • Do not enable the NOMAD Pro 2 until patient and operator are positioned and ready for the exposure, preventing interruption and inadvertent exposure of anyone to X-rays. • Do not attempt an exposure if anyone other than the patient is in the direct beam. If others are assisting, then they should wear protective covering as required by local jurisdictions.

  • Page 10: Studies And Data On Leakage And Scatter

    Focal Spot Leakage Backscatter Radiation Unique internal shielding of Shielding NOMAD Pro 2 encases the X-ray tube, practically eliminating leakage radiation. This makes it safe to use Pro 2 as a handheld device during exposures. Primary Protective Shielding FDA regulations specify that leakage radiation from X-ray devices not exceed 0.88mGy/hr, while IEC regulations...

  • Page 12: Usage And Duty Cycle

    60 cm x 60 cm 2.3 Usage and Duty Cycle As a safety feature, the NOMAD Pro 2 will not emit X-rays with insufficient voltage (low battery). The NOMAD Pro 2 is also designed to avoid damage from overheating. The minimum duty cycle rating for maximum exposure (the relationship between duration and frequency of exposures taken during a rolling 60 second period) is 1:60.

  • Page 13: Cleaning

    Use a non-acetone based disinfectant wipe or a cloth to wipe the exterior surfaces  of the NOMAD Pro 2 and charger. Do not use cleaners intended for hard surfaces, since certain chemical combinations may deteriorate the NOMAD Pro 2 plastic prematurely.

  • Page 14: Security, Storage, And Transportation

    For a further level of security, securely store handsets in a separate location. • Take steps to ensure the NOMAD Pro 2 will not be knocked to the ground when not in use. Lay it on its top, side, or in the accessory tabletop stand. Power will automatically shut off after a period of inactivity (approximately three minutes).

  • Page 24: Exposure Techniques

    4.7 Exposure Techniques As an intra-oral dental X-ray system, the NOMAD Pro 2 can be easily positioned. This high degree of flexibility makes it easy to take exposures while the patient is reclined, lying completely on their back, or sitting upright. Ensure the patient is protected by using an apron.

  • Page 25: Ensuring Image Quality

    • DC voltage X-ray generation is efficient in delivering energy at the level optimised for diagnostics, with shorter exposure times required. • The smaller the focal spot, the better the resolution. The NOMAD Pro 2 has a small 0.4mm focal spot.

  • Page 26: Technique Factors Settings And Adjustments

    (i.e., the cancer risk per unit dose of ionising radiation is higher), and so unnecessary radiation exposure is of particular concern for paediatric patients. Please use caution when configuring the NOMAD Pro 2 by considering the patient’s age, size, body habitus, and clinical indication when verifying exposure time settings.
