Nano-X Imaging (NASDAQ: NNOX) has entered into a distribution agreement with Costa Rica-based medical equipment distributor SOLME RC, S.A. to market and support the Nanox.ARC, a multi-source digital tomosynthesis system designed to expand access to 3D medical imaging. The announcement, made on September 11, 2026, represents Nanox's third Latin American market this year, following Argentina and Peru.
Under the agreement, SOLME will oversee marketing, distribution, installation, training, and ongoing technical support in Costa Rica. SOLME is a registered supplier to the Caja Costarricense de Seguro Social (CCSS), the country's principal purchaser and provider of hospital services. Commercialization will follow applicable regulatory registration, including an initial six-month proof-of-concept device registration period before full registration.
The Nanox.ARC is a cost-effective, 3D multi-source digital tomosynthesis imaging system designed for ease of use and scalability. It is part of the broader Nanox ecosystem, which combines affordable imaging hardware, advanced AI-based solutions, cloud-based software, access to remote radiology, health IT solutions, and a marketplace to enable earlier detection, improved clinical efficiency, and broader access to care.
Nanox's vision is to expand the reach of medical imaging both within and beyond traditional hospital settings by providing a seamless solution from scan to interpretation and beyond. By leveraging proprietary digital X-ray technology, AI-driven analytics, and a clinically driven approach, Nanox aims to enhance the efficiency of routine imaging workflows, support early detection of disease, and improve patient outcomes.
The ecosystem includes Nanox.AI, a suite of AI-based algorithms that augment the interpretation of routine CT imaging to identify early signs often associated with chronic disease; Nanox.CLOUD, a cloud-based platform for secure data management, storage, and advanced imaging analytics; Nanox.MARKETPLACE and USARAD Holdings, which provide access to remote radiology and cardiology experts and comprehensive teleradiology services; and Nanox Health IT, which combines deep healthcare IT expertise with leading technology partners to deliver RIS, PACS, AI, dictation, and secure infrastructure solutions that streamline workflows and support safer, more efficient care delivery.
This expansion into Costa Rica matters because it signals Nanox's continued push into Latin American markets, where access to advanced medical imaging can be limited. By partnering with a local distributor that already supplies the CCSS, Nanox is positioning itself to integrate its technology into the national healthcare system, potentially improving early disease detection and clinical efficiency. The six-month proof-of-concept period will allow for real-world validation before full registration, which could serve as a model for other markets. For industry observers, the move underscores the growing role of AI and cloud-based solutions in expanding preventive care globally. For readers, it highlights how innovative imaging technologies are gradually reaching more regions, which could lead to earlier diagnoses and better health outcomes.
