Kavo has released the new slim and sexy Diagnodent. It is so new it isn’t even on the Kavo web page  here?

This new model eliminates the base unit, it is easier to calibrate, extremely portable and costs just a bit more than the old version.

New Diagnodent released in South Africa
September 21st, 2005 | Posted by Tom Hedge
“The new diagnodent is out - and it is better than I could have hoped for - new tip for inter prox caries, easier to set up and calibrate, and built as you would expect to perfection; easy to clean, balanced for easy holding, large clear numeric read out.”

- Dr. Julian Holmes in South Africa.
Apparently it has not cleared the FDA as yet for US release.
