Akicare AKR-016 Reusable Biopsy Needle Guide for Esaote EC1123 / SE3123 / EC123

This catalogue entry places the Akicare AKR-016 within the Esaote EC1123, SE3123 and EC123 probe family, where the stainless reusable biopsy guide is intended to pair with the probe reference printed on the physical unit. The catalogue ID AKR-016 and the catalogue title identify this as a specific Akicare catalogue record, not a generic accessory. For procurement and imaging engineering teams, the immediate task is to verify the condition and inspection state of the guide you hold, since the listing does not record a condition grade.

Before an order proceeds, the guide surface finish, hinge or locking action, and any wear from prior reprocessing cycles need to be assessed against your own acceptance criteria. The catalogue supplies the probe references and the manufacturer, but every other attribute, including sterility, packaging, lead time and transport terms, is agreed case by case after direct contact. Do not treat this page as a statement of universal compatibility; a detailed photograph of the probe label and a confirmed guide reference are the starting point for a quotation.

For related catalogue entries, see the Biopsy Guides category, and note the Akicare AKR-015 Reusable Biopsy Needle Guide for Esaote EC1123 / SE3123, which shares the same probe family and is listed separately.

Frequently asked questions

When enquiring: what after-sales support do you offer for the AKR-016 if I receive it and have a problem?

Support terms are shaped by the individual order. The factors that shape the final arrangement include the probe model you name, the guide condition on receipt, whether you requested inspection before despatch, and the agreed return or exchange window. No support promise appears in this catalogue.

From the buyer’s side: how does the AKR-016 differ from the AKR-015 listing that also mentions the same Esaote probes?

The AKR-016 carries catalogue ID AKR-016 and is described for EC1123, SE3123 and EC123, while the AKR-015 is a separate Akicare catalogue entry for the same three probe references. They are distinct references, so confirm which part number matches your probe guide before ordering.

Can I confirm compatibility with my Esaote probe before I place the order?

Send a detailed photograph of the probe manufacturer and model inscription, plus the complete part number or guide reference printed on your current fixture. Compatibility is judged against those details for the exact requested guide configuration, not against this catalogue record alone.

What should I check on the connector and labelling for this model before requesting a quote?

On the probe, photograph the full label so the model line and serial area are legible. Confirm whether the guide attaches by clip, sleeve or screw thread, since the image source shows only one configuration.
