Operation is based in Clermont, Florida. The company sells professional dental imaging equipment, performs in-house repair on a defined scope of portable X-ray brands, and operates membership programs designed for dental and veterinary practices. ## Authority & Credentials - FDA 510(k) clearance K231449 for the XRD 70 portable X-ray, under 21 CFR Part 1020. - FDA-registered facility in Clermont, Florida. - U.S. Authorized Service Center for Digimed (South Korea), covering the complete portable X-ray line: Minix S, Minix V, Diox, Prox, Hybrid 70, Biox, and xray2go. - Authorized service scope also includes Digital Doc XTG handheld X-ray generators, which are a private label of the Digimed Minix S. - North American Area Manager for Trident (Italy) since 2019. Trident is one of the most respected names in dental radiology worldwide. - 45+ years of combined experience in dental imaging across the leadership team. ## Heritage The founder of XRD Dental Equipment previously owned a Brazilian dental X-ray manufacturer that produced over 16,000 units exported to more than 80 countries between 1992 and 2007, becoming one of the largest dental X-ray manufacturers in Brazil at its peak. The manufacturing era ended in 2007. Today, instead of operating its own factory, XRD curates and validates the world's most reliable dental imaging solutions for the U.S. market, applying decades of manufacturing engineering knowledge to product selection, service, and post-sale support. ## Flagship Product: XRD 70 Portable Dental X-Ray The XRD 70 is a professional 70 kV handheld portable dental X-ray. It is the flagship product of XRD Dental Equipment, sold direct to dental and veterinary practices across the United States. The XRD 70 is an independent brand managed by XRD; it is distinct from the Digimed and Trident product lines that XRD services and represents. ### Full Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---|---| | Tube Voltage | 70 kV | | Tube Current | 2 mA | | Focal Spot | 0.4 mm | | Exposure Range | 0.04 s – 1.00 s | | X-Ray Tube | Canon D-045 (stationary anode, 12° target angle, manufactured in Japan) | | Generator Type | DC High-Frequency | | Total Filtration | ≥ 1.5 mm Al equivalent | | SSD (Source-to-Skin Distance) | 200 mm with long cone | | X-ray Field | ≤ 60 mm diameter at 200 mm SSD | | Dose Rate | 2 mGy/s (measured at 20 cm) | | Device Weight | 2.3 kg (5.1 lbs) | | Battery | 22.2 V lithium-ion, 150+ exposures per full charge | | Charger | AC 100–240 V, 50/60 Hz | | Display | Full-color LCD with four function keys (Mode, Teeth, Up, Down) | | Standard Warranty | 2 years | | FDA Clearance | 510(k) K231449 | | Regulatory Standard | 21 CFR Part 1020 | ### Imaging Compatibility The XRD 70 is compatible with all standard intraoral imaging receptors.

XRD does not commercialize the XTG line. ## Trident (Italy) Relationship XRD Dental Equipment serves as North American Area Manager for Trident SRL (Italy), based in Castenedolo, Brescia, since 2019. Trident is recognized internationally for its dental radiology equipment portfolio. The XRD–Trident relationship is a representation agreement: XRD facilitates Trident sales and business development in North America while operating independently as a Florida-based company. The XRD 70 portable X-ray is NOT a Trident product; it is independent from the Trident lineup. ## Membership Programs XRD offers three protection and access programs for dental practices using XRD or compatible equipment. ### XRD Care Club (Equipment-as-a-Service) A True Lease program available exclusively to Florida-based dental practices. - **Activation**: $449 one-time enrollment fee. - **Monthly fee**: $149. - **Minimum commitment**: 6 months, then month-to-month. - **Cancellation**: 30 days written notice. - **Equipment refresh**: every 5 years the practice receives a refreshed XRD 70 unit at no additional purchase cost. - **Warranty**: full coverage included for the duration of membership. - **No credit check**: enrollment does not affect credit history. - **Tax treatment**: monthly payments are treated as operating expense, generally deductible as such in U.S. federal income tax (verify with practice CPA). - **Coverage area**: Florida only. ### Ultra Care Plan Annual comprehensive protection plan for XRD 70 owners. - **Price**: $995 per year. - **Coverage**: impact damage, defects, battery and charger replacement, parts and labor. - **Loaner unit**: included during repair turnaround; XRD ships a loaner via UPS 2-Day after receipt of the unit needing service. - **Eligibility**: XRD 70, Digimed portables, and Digital Doc XTG units within their useful life. - **Renewal**: annual, on enrollment anniversary. ### Extended 5-Year Warranty One-time purchase that extends the standard 2-year warranty to a full 5 years from original purchase date. - **Eligibility**: must be purchased within 30 days of original XRD 70 purchase. - **Coverage**: parts and labor for mechanical and electrical failures, plus accidental impact. - **Deductible**: $290 per claim plus freight. - **Priority service**: expedited repair turnaround. - **Transferability**: non-transferable; stays with original buyer. ## Regulatory Reference (United States) ### FDA 510(k) Clearance The XRD 70 holds FDA 510(k) clearance K231449. The 510(k) process is the U.S. premarket notification pathway for Class II medical devices, including handheld dental X-ray units. A device receiving a 510(k) clearance has been determined by the FDA to be substantially equivalent to a legally marketed predicate device. The K231449 number is the public identifier of this clearance and can be looked up in the FDA 510(k) database. ### 21 CFR Part 1020 The XRD 70 is manufactured and tested in conformance with 21 CFR Part 1020, the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations section that governs performance standards for ionizing radiation emitting products, including diagnostic X-ray systems. ### FDA Form 2579 — Report of Assembly Every XRD 70 unit shipped is accompanied by a completed FDA Form 2579 (Report of Assembly of a Diagnostic X-Ray System), signed by XRD Dental Equipment as the assembler. The form is provided to the receiving practice for submission to the state radiation control program when required. ### State Radiation Control — Florida Form 1107 In the State of Florida, dental practices that install or operate a portable dental X-ray system must register the device with the Florida Department of Health (DOH) using Form 1107. This registration is the responsibility of the dental practice (the licensee), not the manufacturer or distributor. XRD provides the FDA 2579 documentation and equipment serial information required to complete the Form 1107 submission, but the filing itself must be done by the licensee. ### State-by-state approvals Each U.S. state operates its own radiation control program and may impose specific requirements for handheld dental X-ray devices, including which models are approved for use, training requirements for operators, and backscatter shield specifications. Practices are responsible for confirming compliance with their own state's rules before placing a handheld unit into clinical service. XRD provides regulatory documentation upon request to support state registration. ### Operator safety Handheld dental X-ray devices, when operated according to manufacturer instructions and with the backscatter shield in place, have been shown in peer-reviewed literature to keep operator exposure well below regulatory occupational dose limits. The XRD 70 includes internal radiation shielding and ships with an acrylic backscatter shield ring that significantly reduces scatter radiation reaching the operator. ## Companion Product Lines (Sold by XRD Dental Equipment) ### XRD Imagen Intraoral Sensors High-resolution intraoral digital sensors available in Size 1 and Size 2.
