Siemens (Acuson) VF16-5 Linear Ultrasound Probe

This catalogue entry pairs the Siemens (Acuson) VF16-5 linear array probe with the Siemens Acuson X700 ultrasound system. The unit is offered as a new aftermarket-compatible transducer, or as a repair service for an original VF16-5. Physical identification centres on the linear array footprint and the probe connector, which must match the X700 receptacle before any clinical use. The model/SKU is Siemens–Acuson–VF16-5, and the category is Siemens / Acuson Probes.

Buyers should treat this record as a compatibility reference for the VF16-5 on the X700. The probe is not manufactured by or affiliated with Siemens (Acuson); brand and model names belong to their respective owners. Condition, available check or test scope, availability, timing and shipping are agreed individually per order after direct contact. No universal specification or performance claim is made beyond the listed array type and compatible system.

For other compatible linear arrays in the same catalogue family, see the related listing for the Siemens / Acuson Probes category alongside the Siemens (Acuson) VF13-5SP Linear Ultrasound Probe.

Frequently asked questions

On ordering: what lead time might I plan for when ordering this probe?

Lead time is settled per order, not fixed in this catalogue. The final schedule depends on the chosen condition, whether you need the new aftermarket unit or a repair service, and the check or test scope agreed for that specific probe.

Regarding this listing, how do I confirm the VF16-5 will work with my X700 before purchase?

suitability is checked against the exact model in your request. Share the full system serial number and the connector type on your existing probe. The quotation will state whether the VF16-5 matches that configuration for the Siemens Acuson X700.

What is the difference between this probe and the VF13-5SP linear probe?

This VF16-5 is a separate linear array model with its own SKU and compatible system listing. The sibling listing is the Siemens (Acuson) VF13-5SP Linear Ultrasound Probe, which may suit different clinical applications. Confirm your system and intended use via quotation.

Which physical details should I check on the probe label and connector?

Check the probe model number, the array type marked as linear, and the connector geometry against the X700 socket. Also verify the serial number and any labelling that identifies this model. These checks are done during quotation confirmation rather than assumed from this record.
