Sonosite HFL38X Biopsy Needle Guide (NSM-049)

This catalogue entry places the Sonosite HFL38X Biopsy Needle Guide (NSM-049) within the HFL38 probe family, covering the HFL38, HFL38x and HFL38xp variants. The guide is a reusable accessory constructed from medical stainless steel, with a gauge size range of fourteen to twenty-two gauge. Its stated application is OB/GYN. The item is offered in a Compatible-New condition option, meaning the unit is new but manufactured for use with Sonosite systems rather than supplied as a Sonosite-branded original. For procurement teams, the practical implication is that physical fit and functional performance should be confirmed against your exact probe revision before ordering.

Condition grading here focuses on inspection expectations: a Compatible-New guide should arrive without prior clinical use, but it carries no original manufacturer warranty. The material and gauge range are as specified, yet the fit with a specific HFL38 series transducer depends on probe revision and any adapters in your inventory. Warranty, return rights, shelf life and delivery terms are agreed individually for each order, so contact the sourcing team with your unit details before committing. The linked SonoSite SLT Ultrasound Probe listing is a separate transducer and is not part of this guide assembly.

Frequently asked questions

For your order: what warranty terms should I raise when requesting a quote for this needle guide?

The catalogue lists a warranty period, but that term is not automatic. You must request the warranty scope in writing when you send the RFQ. Ask whether the cover includes material defects, how returns are handled, and whether the period begins from dispatch or from receipt.

Does Compatible-New mean the guide has been used on a hospital floor previously?

No. Compatible-New indicates the guide is new and not previously used in a clinical setting, but it is manufactured to work with Sonosite probes rather than being an original Sonosite part. Inspect the stainless steel surface for tool marks or packaging damage on delivery.

Is this guide the same product as the SonoSite SLT Ultrasound Probe listing?

No. This listing is a reusable biopsy needle guide for HFL38, HFL38x and HFL38xp probes. The SonoSite SLT Ultrasound Probe is a separate transducer. They are linked in the catalogue because both relate to Sonosite imaging, but they are not interchangeable components.

Will this needle guide suit our OB/GYN scanning workflow with a HFL38x transducer?

The guide is listed for OB/GYN applications and for the HFL38x probe. However, verify the needle gauge you use clinically falls within the stated fourteen to twenty-two gauge range, and confirm the guide attaches securely to your specific HFL38x revision before purchase. Ask the supplier for a fitting check.
