Dental Tribune U.S. Edition | October 2012A14 Ad Aribex celebrates, donates 10,000th NOMAD Handheld X-ray device Aribex®, a worldwide leader in hand- held X-ray technologies, will be celebrat- ing the production of 10,000 NOMAD® Handheld X-ray devices at the American Dental Association Annual Session in San Francisco, booth No. 845. In marking this milestone, Aribex will provide customers who purchase a NOMAD during the meeting 10,000 cents in the form of a fresh $100 bill. In addition, purchasers will be entered into a daily drawing for a no-charge Total Care Plan, a $495 value. Unlike the conventional wall-mount and portable X-ray systems, NOMAD handheld devices from Aribex are light weight, rechargeable (battery-powered) and can go anywhere. Dental profession- als around the world have rapidly chosen the NOMAD as their preferred X-ray de- vice, both in and out of the office. “We’re proud that because the NOMAD has been so widely accepted in the mar- ket, we’ve been able to reach this 10,000- unit milestone,” said Ken Kaufman, pres- ident and CFO of Aribex. “We’ve worked hard to get to this point, and we can’t thank our customers enough for their continued patronage and support.” In August, Aribex donated its actual 10,000th NOMAD unit to the Christian Medical & Dental Associations (CMDA). Headquartered in Bristol, Tenn., CMDA centers much of its work on humanitar- ian outreach — the common denomina- tor of both organizations. “The NOMAD Handheld X-ray was created in response to humanitarian needs,” said Kaufman. “We thought it ap- propriate to donate this historic unit to CMDA, an organization that does won- derful work among those who need the help so desperately.” CMDA will utilize the NOMAD as a diagnostic tool by dentists and dental students as part of its Global Health Out- reach program. CMDA schedules 45 trips to 25 countries each year. In addition, CMDA helps train dentists in emerging nations, lectures at international dental schools and is developing a ministry for disaster relief. “We’re grateful for the capability the Aribex donation will provide CMDA,” said Dr. Peter E. Dawson, founder of The Dawson Academy, a renowned training center that has provided continuing den- tal education courses for more than 30 years. “CMDA will put this X-ray device to good use in dozens of humanitarian dental missions.” Aribex will share the humanitarian outreach journey made by the 10,000th NOMAD on its website, www.aribex.com, where visitors can follow the travels of the NOMAD and CMDA in the organiza- tion's efforts to bring greater access to care to those who truly need it.
