Varex Imaging to Supply X-ray Tubes for Nanox.ARC System

Nanox has entered into a manufacturing and supply agreement with Varex Imaging under which Varex will supply X-ray tubes for the Nanox.ARC system, a 3D tomosynthesis multisource imaging system that uses a proprietary and novel digital cathode X-ray source that Nanox believes can achieve the same functionalities as conventional X-ray cathodes, while enabling lower cost production than existing medical imaging systems.

The agreement follows Varex’s evaluation of Nanox’s novel digital X-ray source over the last few months.

Varex has agreed to manufacture and supply the X-ray tubes in exchange for a revenue share fee (subject to a minimum annual amount per system) based on the Company’s pay-per-scan revenue from Nanox.ARC systems using Varex X-ray tubes worldwide. Subject to receipt of required local regulatory approvals, Nanox has also agreed to use Varex x-ray tubes in a minimum percentage of all Nanox.ARC systems deployed and in operation.

Nanox is making progress towards commercialization of the Nanox.ARC system that has been installed in Nigeria, Morocco and Ghana for demonstration and training purposes, with the aim of increasing early detection of medical conditions that are discoverable by X-ray by improving access to imaging.

The manufacturing and supply agreement with Nanox reflects our belief in the future importance of cold cathode technology and our desire to advance medical imaging technology, reduce costs, and make a significant impact on global healthcare,” said Sunny Sanyal, CEO of Varex Imaging.
