Siemens (Acuson) 18L6HD Biopsy Needle Guide (SSM-058)

This catalogue entry covers the Siemens (Acuson) 18L6HD Biopsy Needle Guide, listed under model SSM-058. It sits within the Siemens transducer accessory family, specifically matched to the 18L6HD probe for obstetric and gynaecological scanning. The unit is a reusable guide built from medical stainless steel, accepting needles of fourteen to twenty-two gauge. Its manual power source means no electrical connection is involved, so the physical interface with the probe is the primary point of identification.

Procurement teams and imaging engineers should treat this as a compatible-new condition unit, with the brand name Akicare shown on the record. The guide originates from Guangdong, China, and carries a CE quality certification. Warranty cover, return and replacement terms, and the stated shelf life apply per order, so confirm these in writing against your specific quotation before committing. No other specifications are part of this catalogue record.

Frequently asked questions

What does the stated warranty period cover on this SSM-058 guide, and how do I claim it?

Warranty cover for this unit is agreed individually for each purchase. The written quotation you receive will state the precise scope, including any return and replacement conditions. Examine that document before ordering, as the catalogue does not set those terms.

Will this guide fit my 18L6HD probe for OB/GYN work?

This guide is specified as compatible with the Siemens 18L6HD probe, and its listed application is obstetrics and gynaecology. To be certain of mechanical fit, check the guide's seating against your probe housing, since the catalogue gives no further dimensional detail.

How should I confirm the connector and labelling before I send out a purchase order?

Inspect the guide's mounting interface against the probe's locating lugs and the needle channel alignment. Verify the model marking SSM-058 and the 18L6HD designation on the unit label. The catalogue supplies no connector diagrams, so rely on direct physical comparison.
