Sonosite ICT Biopsy Needle Guide (NEM-024)

This listing places the Sonosite ICT Biopsy Needle Guide (NEM-024) within the endocavity probe family, specifically for the ICT, ICTe, ICTn, ICTx and ICTxp transducers used in OB/GYN and urology departments. The guide is a reusable accessory constructed from medical stainless steel, accepting needles of the gauges listed in the specification for manual biopsy procedures. It is offered under the Compatible-New condition option, which indicates a newly manufactured unit intended to work with Sonosite systems, produced under the Akicare brand name in Guangdong, China. The product carries a CE quality certification and a stated shelf life of one year.

For procurement and imaging engineers, the primary focus should be on inspection expectations at receipt. Because this is a reusable stainless-steel guide, check the needle channel for burrs, the hinge or locking mechanism for smooth action, and the probe-facing surface for scratches that could affect seating. The listed shelf life relates to storage before use, not to operational lifespan. Warranty cover, return and replacement terms, and any post-delivery testing are agreed case by case after you contact us, as each unit and order is assessed individually. No universal service scope is implied by this catalogue record.

For adjacent sourcing needs, review the Biopsy Guides category alongside the Sonosite ICT Biopsy Needle Guide listing, which shares the same probe family and application scope.

Frequently asked questions

What does the stated warranty on this guide actually cover when I place an order?

The warranty is settled individually per order and is never promised by this catalogue. Cover can vary between units depending on handling history and the agreed contract. Contact us before purchase to confirm the exact return and replacement terms applicable to your specific consignment, as those details are not fixed for all buyers.

Which probe models will this needle guide fit without modification?

compatibility is checked against the exact probe serial number and housing variant before purchase. The guide is listed for ICT, ICTe, ICTn, ICTx and ICTxp transducers, but seating can differ between revisions. Send your probe model and serial number with the enquiry so we can verify the match for that specific unit.

What connector or labelling details should I photograph before requesting a quote for this item?

Photograph the probe label showing the model code and serial number, plus the probe connector face. Also capture any markings on the existing needle guide, if you have one, to compare channel alignment. These images allow us to confirm the guide will seat correctly on your transducer before we discuss order terms.

Do you check the needle channel and locking mechanism before dispatch for each individual guide?

Inspection scope differs per unit and is agreed case by case after contact. Some orders may include a visual check of the stainless-steel channel and lock, while others are supplied as manufactured without additional testing. State your required inspection level when you enquire so we can quote the appropriate procedure for that consignment.
