Akicare AKR-099 Reusable Biopsy Needle Guide for Philips C5-2

This catalogue entry pairs the Akicare AKR-099 Reusable Biopsy Needle Guide with the Philips C5-2 probe reference, as recorded in the Akicare catalogue record. For procurement teams and imaging engineers, this is a referencing record: the guide is listed by its catalogue ID, AKR-099, and by the compatible probe family named by Philips. Because condition options and array type are not part of the Akicare catalogue record, this page focuses on what you can verify before raising an enquiry: the probe label, the bracket geometry, and the guide channel. The illustration shown is representative, not a photograph of a specific unit. Every unit is quoted individually.

Condition grading and inspection expectations are central to reusable biopsy guides. A guide that has been through clinical use may show wear on the channel or attachment points, so you should ask how a particular unit has been inspected, what cleaning or disinfection it has undergone, and whether the bracket is supplied with the guide or separately. After-sales support, warranty, delivery and testing scope are agreed case by case after contact. No universal terms apply to this listing. Confirm the exact unit condition and fit before any order.

For a similar reusable guide on a different probe, see the Akicare AKR-098 Reusable Biopsy Needle Guide for Philips L12-4, and compare it with this entry under Biopsy Guides.

Frequently asked questions

When enquiring: how do you handle after-sales support for this specific guide?

After-sales support is arranged individually for each order, not offered as a standard catalogue term. If you need a replacement bracket, a check on the guide channel, or advice on cleaning, raise that in your enquiry. We confirm the support scope in written form before you commit.

What condition options exist for this reusable guide?

The Akicare catalogue record does not state condition options for this item. That means you must ask per unit. For a reusable guide, ask whether it is previously used or new-old-stock, whether the channel shows scoring, and whether the attachment points are intact. We cannot assume a condition for you.

How is this AKR-099 different from the AKR-098 listing alongside it?

The AKR-099 is referenced for the Philips C5-2 probe, while the AKR-098 is a separate reusable biopsy needle guide for the Philips L12-4. Both come from Akicare, but the compatible probe reference differs. Do not assume the bracket or channel dimensions are shared between the two models.

Which probe details should I send with an enquiry about this guide?

Send a detailed photograph of the complete Philips C5-2 probe label, including the model and serial numbers. Also photograph the probe’s attachment point from two angles. State the needle gauge range you intend to use and the quantity needed. Mention whether you want a reusable guide or a disposable variant, as this affects fit.
