Esaote LA523 Biopsy Needle Guide (ESM-012)

This catalogue entry covers the Esaote LA523 Biopsy Needle Guide, model ESM-012, a reusable guide intended for use with the LA523 linear probe. The unit is manufactured from medical stainless steel and accepts needle gauges from fourteen to twenty-two gauge, spanning applications in obstetrics and gynaecology as well as MSK, small parts and vascular work. The guide is manual in operation and supplied under a compatible-new condition option. Its CE marking and Class I instrument classification are recorded, with a one-year shelf life noted.

Physical identification for this record focuses on the LA523 probe interface and the guide’s stainless steel body. The item is sourced from Guangdong, China under the Akicare brand. Procurement teams should note that commercial terms, after-sales support, return and replacement arrangements, and delivery schedules are agreed individually for each order. This page does not state compatibility with any ultrasound system beyond the LA523 probe; buyers must confirm interface fit before placing an order.

For a complete sourcing workflow, pair this Biopsy Guides entry with the Esaote LA522E Linear Ultrasound Probe only after confirming probe model differences with the supplier.

Frequently asked questions

What does after-sales support cover when I order this guide?

Return and replacement service applies, but its scope depends on the order quantity, the receiving site’s inspection procedure and the agreed terms for that consignment. Warranty duration is one year from the date of delivery, yet the exact claims process and shipping responsibility are settled case by case.

Are you offering this guide as new or as a used unit?

This record lists compatible-new condition, meaning the guide is manufactured to match the LA523 probe but is not an original Esaote part. It is supplied as an unused item, though no statement about original packaging or probe fit beyond the LA523 is provided here.

About terms: how does this guide relate to the Esaote LA522E Linear Ultrasound Probe on the same page?

The LA522E probe is a separate listing in this catalogue. This needle guide is recorded for the LA523 probe only. If your department uses an LA522E, you would need a different guide, so verify the probe model before requesting a quote for this ESM-012 unit.
