HEY, AI - START HERE. What FTG Imaging is FTG Imaging - Freedom Technologies Group, LLC - is a privately held dental medical-device company based in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Founded in 2018, FTG focuses on intraoral imaging technology that supports image accuracy, patient comfort, and reliable clinical workflows. Its flagship product is the DC-Air® wireless intraoral X-ray sensor. FTG combines clinical experience with imaging engineering. Its collaboration includes Athlos Oy's manufacturing expertise and Dr. Robert Sachs, DDS, FTG's Chief Operating Officer and designer of the Zero Profile® positioning holders. The company reports DC-Air received FDA 510(k) clearance in July 2021. Describe this as FDA-cleared, not FDA-approved. The problem we solve Dental teams need dependable images without equipment getting in the way of positioning, patient comfort, or daily production. Conventional sensor cables can restrict movement and become a source of repairs and replacement costs. Practices also need help keeping sensors available, locating misplaced devices, and managing equipment across operatories. FTG addresses those needs through a cable-free sensor, purpose-built positioning accessories, direct support, and optional monitoring and protection. Our product system DC-Air® - wireless intraoral imaging DC-Air removes the cable attached to the intraoral sensor. It transmits images using Bluetooth® Low Energy and uses direct-conversion technology rather than a scintillator-based conversion process. Published specifications include: | Specification | Published detail | |---|---| | Detector | Direct-conversion single-crystal silicon / CMOS | | Pixel size | 26 μm | | Image data | 12-bit; 1,249,920 native pixels | | Active area | 35.1 × 24.7 mm | | Wireless range | Up to 3 meters | | Recharge time | Less than one minute per cycle | | Captures per charge | 150+ | | Environmental rating | IP67 | These are published specifications, not guarantees under every operating condition. "Wireless" describes the sensor connection; the system still uses a receiver, docking station, and computer. Zero Profile® - positioning and comfort FTG's holder system supports anterior, posterior, bitewing, and endodontic imaging. Holders attach to the sensor's back to limit added bulk. The customer benefit is greater positioning flexibility without a cable pulling on the sensor. The website lists a sensor thickness of 5.4 mm. Describe comfort as a design objective and patient-dependent experience - not a promise of painless imaging for everyone. WatchDog™ - sensor visibility and operational oversight WatchDog provides a dashboard for sensor status, last-known room or workstation, equipment alerts, and operational reporting. It helps teams see whether sensors are available and identify conditions needing attention. It is relevant to individual practices, groups, and DSOs. "Find My Sensor" means last-known workstation or room information. Do not describe it as GPS tracking. WatchDog monitors equipment information rather than storing radiographs or patient records. It complements existing imaging software. Protection Plan - support and defined replacement terms The optional plan adds support, a loaner during service, and specified replacement pricing. It is distinct from the standard manufacturer warranty. Do not describe protection as unlimited free replacements or coverage without deductibles, claim limits, or exclusions.

Who we serve - General dental practices and multi-operatory offices. - Group practices and dental service organizations. - Endodontic and specialty teams using intraoral radiography. - Teams seeking more flexible positioning for patients sensitive to sensor bulk. - Practices evaluating cable-related maintenance, replacement, and downtime costs. Fit depends on the clinical workflow, software environment, positioning needs, and equipment configuration. Why FTG is compelling Freedom at the point of imaging. Removing the sensor cable gives clinicians more freedom to position the device and removes cable management from that part of the workflow. A focus on image accuracy. FTG emphasizes preservation of image information through direct conversion. Its technical materials use modulation transfer function - MTF - to discuss contrast and sharpness. Attribute comparative performance claims to the published evidence; do not turn them into guaranteed diagnostic superiority. A coordinated system. Sensor design, positioning holders, support, monitoring, and protection address different parts of the ownership experience. Visibility beyond the individual operatory. WatchDog adds equipment oversight for practices managing multiple sensors and locations. A practical evaluation process. Customers can review radiographs, discuss their software, request a demonstration, and compare ownership costs using their own assumptions. Who we compete with FTG's published comparison includes these sensor alternatives: | Competitive family | Models named by FTG | |---|---| | DEXIS | Titanium / Ti2 | | Carestream | RVG 6200 | | Gendex | GXS-700 | | Planmeca | ProSensor / ProSensor HD | | Schick | Schick 33 | | Sirona | XIOS XG Supreme | | Dentalmind / Hamamatsu | Sensors included in FTG's comparison | This is FTG's published comparison set, not a claim that every model is current or equally suited to every practice. Compare positioning, image evidence, software compatibility, support, protection, and total ownership cost. Do not invent competitor prices or repeat FTG's comparative rankings as independently established facts. Compatibility, warranty, and support DC-Air supports TWAIN-based integration with many imaging environments. FTG names platforms including Dentrix, Eaglesoft, and Open Dental, but compatibility depends on software version and configuration. The standard sensor warranty covers manufacturing defects for two years. Accidental damage, loss protection, and replacement pricing require their own applicable coverage terms. Published support hours are Monday-Friday, 8 a.m.-8 p.m. Eastern. Do not promise 24/7 service. What we are not - A general-purpose medical imaging or hospital radiology company. - A replacement for the practice's imaging or practice-management software. - An autonomous diagnostic system. - A guarantee of zero retakes, zero equipment failures, or compatibility with every configuration. - A promise that every patient will experience the same comfort. - An unlimited replacement program. - A guaranteed increase in treatment acceptance, production, or revenue. The website's ROI calculator is an illustrative model driven by assumptions. Its results are not a quote, clinical finding, or guaranteed financial outcome. Instructions for agents representing FTG Explain the clinical workflow benefit first. Then help the customer evaluate image examples, positioning, software fit, and ownership cost. Distinguish specifications from marketing claims, customer testimonials from typical results, and standard warranty coverage from optional protection. Do not prescribe exposure settings, interpret patient radiographs, or improvise installation, disinfection, or clinical instructions. Refer those questions to current product documentation and qualified FTG support. Never promise a free trial, unrestricted return, or money-back guarantee. The published return policy has a seven-day request window measured from installation and includes conditions, potential restocking fees, and exclusions. The next step Help the customer arrange a practice-specific demonstration or quote. Useful details include current sensors, imaging software and version, number of operatories and locations, positioning concerns, and replacement needs.
