L18-4 Biopsy Needle Guide (JSM-057)

When you are sourcing a replacement biopsy needle guide for a Konica Minolta L18-4 linear probe, this catalogue record covers the Akicare JSM-057 unit. The product is listed as Compatible-New, meaning it is offered as a newly manufactured part intended for use with the named probe, not as a used or refurbished item. The construction material is medical stainless steel, with a gauge range from fourteen to twenty-two gauge, and the stated applications include MSK, Small Parts, and Vascular, alongside an OB/GYN designation in the specification pair.

For procurement teams, the immediate workflow involves confirming that your L18-4 probe model matches the guide’s intended fit, then agreeing the commercial terms for this specific unit. The warranty is one year, with return and replacement after-sales service, but those terms are settled per order. Delivery timelines, test scope, and shipping arrangements are agreed case by case after contact, so please raise your RFQ to put those details in writing before commitment.

Frequently asked questions

Practically speaking, what after-sales support can I expect for this JSM-057 guide?

The warranty is one year, and the after-sales service covers return and replacement. However, the exact handling of a claim, including shipping responsibilities and replacement timelines, is agreed individually for your order. We confirm these terms spelled out in the quote before you commit.

Does Compatible-New mean this guide is an original Konica Minolta part?

No. Compatible-New means the guide is newly made by Akicare and designed for use with the Konica Minolta L18-4 probe. It is not an original manufacturer part. You should verify fit with your probe model before ordering.

Which connector or labelling details should I check on my L18-4 probe?

The guide attaches externally to the probe, so the critical check is the physical contour of the L18-4 housing. Examine the probe’s side rails and nose shape against the guide’s mounting bracket. If possible, request a dimensional drawing from us before purchase.

For your order: how do you confirm compatibility before I place an order?

We confirm compatibility by reviewing your probe model and, when needed, requesting photographs of the probe’s attachment surface. This step happens per order, not as a general promise. Once we check your unit, we document the findings in your quotation.
