Hitachi Aloka UST-944B-3.5 Biopsy Needle Guide (HSM-036)

This catalogue record covers the Hitachi Aloka UST-944B-3.5 Biopsy Needle Guide, model HSM-036, as a Compatible-New item. The guide is manufactured from medical stainless steel and accepts a range of needle gauges, intended for OB/GYN applications. It is a reusable, manually operated accessory. The compatible probe is the UST-944B-3.5, and the brand is Hitachi Aloka. This listing does not assert any condition beyond the new, compatible offering described here.

Inspection expectations for this unit centre on the machined steel channel and locking mechanism, given the reusable design and the range of needle gauges it must hold securely. The catalogue notes a warranty with return and replacement after-sale service, but those terms are settled per order. Quality certification is listed as ce. Procurement teams should treat this as a component for verified pairing with the named probe before clinical use.

Frequently asked questions

Order specifics: what warranty terms can I expect if I order this guide for our ultrasound suite?

The catalogue mentions a warranty with return and replacement after-sale service. However, warranty cover is agreed individually per order, so ask the sales contact to state the exact start date, what damage is excluded, and how the return process is handled for your purchase.

Are you offering this as new or refurbished, and what does that mean for the metal parts?

This item is listed as Compatible-New, meaning it has not been previously used and is supplied as a fresh unit. The key inspection point is the stainless steel guide channel and any burrs or edges from manufacturing, so request photos or a pre-shipment check if your protocol demands it.

On the commercial side: how do you confirm that this guide fits our Hitachi Aloka UST-944B-3.5 probe before I raise a PO?

Compatibility is not a blanket statement in this catalogue. You need to send the probe model and serial number, plus the probe configuration, and the vendor will verify the guide against that exact hardware. Always request written confirmation of fit before ordering.
