- In a Twitter thread last week, FTG announced they would also be adding an option to extend the sensor’s warranty and replacement coverage out to 48 months at any point before the included 24-month warranty runs out.

Freedom Technologies Group (FTG) announced new protections against accidental damage, loss, and theft for its wireless intraoral x-ray sensor, DC-Air™, to be included in the product’s standard warranty. The updated warranty now includes a deductible option for overnight replacement— something typically reserved for paid support models.
“A concern we hear a lot from doctors interested in the sensor is that their staff may drop it or walk off with it since it doesn’t have a wire,” says John Celigoy, FTG’s Chief Operating Officer. “The DC-Air has technologies like Bluetooth tracking and a new type of x-ray sensor technology that is far more durable than any other digital sensor, so we’ve seen these concerns do not reflect the actual experience of our users.”
