PG&E Urges Customers to Keep Metallic Balloons Secure for Valentine's Day Celebrations Feb 10, 2012 08:22PM

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 10, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- With Valentine's Day fast approaching, many customers will celebrate with helium-filled metallic balloons. Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) urges customers to securely tie a weight to all metallic balloons containing helium to prevent them from floating away. Metallic balloons that contact overhead power lines can disrupt electric service to an entire neighborhood, cause significant property damage, and potentially result in serious personal injuries.

Last year, metallic balloons that drifted into PG&E power lines caused nearly 300 outages, affecting electric service to more than 150,000 PG&E customers throughout Northern and Central California. In order to significantly reduce such outages, and so everyone can safely enjoy their Valentine's Day, PG&E reminds customers to follow these important safety tips for metallic balloons:

  • "Look Up and Live!" Use caution and avoid celebrating with metallic balloons near overhead electric lines.
  • Make sure helium-filled metallic balloons are securely tied to a weight that is heavy enough to prevent them from floating away. Never remove the weight!
  • When possible, keep metallic balloons indoors. Never release them outside.
  • Do not bundle metallic balloons together.
  • Never attempt to retrieve any type of balloon, kite, or toy that becomes caught in a power line. Leave it alone and immediately call PG&E at 1-800-743-5000 to report the problem.
  • Never go near a power line that has fallen to the ground or is dangling in the air. Always assume downed electric lines are live. Stay far away, keep others away, and immediately call 911 to alert the police and fire departments.

Pacific Gas and Electric Company, a subsidiary of PG&E Corporation (NYSE: PCG), is one of the largest combined natural gas and electric utilities in the United States. Based in San Francisco, with 20,000 employees, the company delivers some of the nation's cleanest energy to 15 million people in Northern and Central California.

Aribex NOMAD Applauds FDA Investigation, Confirms NOMAD Safe and Effective Feb 10, 2012 08:19PM

Aribex Announces $200 Trade-Up Offer for Owners of Illegal Devices

OREM, Utah--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Aribex®, Inc., the worldwide leader in handheld x-ray technologies, clarified that their Aribex NOMAD handheld x-ray devices are legal and not the subject of an investigation announced today by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

The FDA investigation involves the illegal online sales of handheld dental and veterinary x-ray units by manufacturers outside the United States. Aribex stressed that the NOMAD, which is manufactured in the United States, is proven safe, FDA-cleared, and approved for use in almost all states. Aribex officials said the company continues to have a positive working relationship with the FDA along with other state and local radiation safety officials.

“Clinician and patient safety has always been our number-one priority in developing and distributing our handheld x-ray device,” said Ken Kaufman, Aribex President and CFO, “and we are disappointed to learn that other manufacturers may not share a similar perspective. Just as the FDA fulfills its responsibilities, Aribex is equally committed to its role as the pioneer of safe and effective, battery-powered, handheld x-ray systems.”

“We support the FDA in their efforts to warn and protect, and we follow their message with one of our own: we ask dentists, hygienists, veterinarians and other certified radiation operators to understand that rapidly changing technology has made it possible for handheld x-ray systems to be both safe and effective. Not only is the NOMAD safe, patients and users have found that it improves their imaging experience.”

Aribex affirmed that each of their x-ray products meets FDA requirements, including FDA 510(K) clearance and labeling. Company officials said that numerous studies and evaluations have found the NOMAD to be safe, including the Washington State Department of Health study referenced by the FDA in today’s news release. Aribex maintains that their NOMAD systems are superior in their shielding and cone design characteristics when compared to any other intraoral dental x-ray system.

In response to challenges this may cause for U.S. dental and veterinary practices, Aribex is offering a $200 trade-up rebate on the purchase of a NOMAD to replace an illegal device. For more information on this rebate, affected practitioners should contact Aribex at 866-340-5522 or visit www.aribex.com.

About Aribex

Aribex is the worldwide leader in portable and handheld x-ray products. Aribex NOMAD x-ray systems are now in use in clinical, remote and mobile facilities throughout the world, from the finest professional offices to humanitarian missions reaching underserved populations who desperately seek care. The NOMAD significantly decreases costs and provides hundreds of safe, high-quality images for dental and veterinary applications on a single battery charge.
