GE 12S-RS Phased Array Ultrasound Probe

This 12S-RS phased array transducer pairs with the GE Vivid i and Vivid Q ultrasound systems, offering a frequency range of 5-11 MHz. The catalogue lists this unit as New Aftermarket-Compatible, meaning it is a freshly manufactured alternative to the original GE part, not a used or refurbished item. Physical identification centres on the probe housing, the connector footprint that mates with the Vivid i or Vivid Q socket, and the cable strain relief. Buyers should verify the connector variant against their specific console before ordering, as probe models within the Vivid family share several array formats.

This listing sits alongside the GE 12S-D Phased Array Ultrasound Probe as a separate catalogue entry. The 12S-RS and 12S-D are distinct models with different physical characteristics, even though both are phased arrays for Vivid systems. For procurement teams, the key distinction is the exact connector and housing design, which determines whether the probe seats correctly on an existing console. Shipping, packaging, and any verification performed on the unit are agreed case by case after you contact Akicare, so the catalogue shows compatibility data only, never delivery terms.

For further phased array options, see the related catalogue entry for the GE 12S-D Phased Array Ultrasound Probe, which is listed alongside the current Phased Array Probes category.

Frequently asked questions

At purchase time, how do you arrange packaging and courier for this probe?

Packaging and transport are shaped by the individual order once you contact us. The catalogue entry notes only that this is a New Aftermarket-Compatible unit. We confirm crate type, courier, transit insurance and delivery schedule for your destination against your purchase request, with no terms promised here.

Is the 12S-RS the same probe as the 12S-D listed beside it?

No, they are separate models. The 12S-RS works with Vivid i and Vivid Q, while the 12S-D is a different listing in the same category. Check the model marking on the probe body and the connector pin layout against your console before ordering either unit.

What connector and label details should I check on this unit?

Look for the model imprint GE-12S-RS on the probe shroud and confirm the connector locking mechanism matches the Vivid i or Vivid Q socket. Labels on the cable and connector base carry the array type and frequency range, so photograph those areas and send them with your enquiry.
