Philips C8-4v Biopsy Needle Guide (PEM-023)

When you are sourcing or replacing a Philips C8-4v biopsy needle guide for a convex array probe, the first task is physical identification: this unit is a reusable guide machined from medical stainless steel, and it carries the model reference PHILIPS_PEM-023_C8-4v. The guide is intended for abdominal and obstetric or gynaecological examinations, where the 14–22G gauge range covers typical tissue sampling needles. Manual operation means there are no electronic connectors to verify, but the metal bracket and needle channel must align with the C8-4v probe head geometry before it can be attached securely.

This catalogue entry presents the unit in Compatible-New condition, with the brand name Akicare listed on the source record and the place of origin noted as Guangdong, China. Quality certification is CE, and the stated shelf life is one year from manufacture. For procurement and engineering teams, the immediate checks are the probe face curvature and the guide’s locking mechanism, as each order’s test scope, carriage terms and return arrangements are agreed individually after direct contact with the supplier.

You can compare this reusable stainless steel guide with other items in the Biopsy Guides category, and for a different geometry, the Philips C8-4V Biopsy Needle Guide listing offers the same probe reference with additional ordering details.

Frequently asked questions

For your order: what after-sales support is attached to this particular guide order?

Return and replacement cover is offered, but its scope is not a fixed catalogue promise. The warranty period is one year, and every order’s after-sales terms are set out in the written quotation before you commit, so you can review the exact conditions that apply to this unit.

Will this unit work for the abdominal and gynaecology scans we perform?

Yes, the recorded applications are abdominal and OB/GYN, and the 14–22G gauge range fits sampling needles used in those exams. You should still confirm the probe model is exactly C8-4v, because the guide’s channel and mounting are shaped for that specific convex probe head.

What should I include in my enquiry about this probe guide?

Send the probe model printed on your transducer, the needle gauge you intend to use, and the quantity required. Also state whether you need a sample unit for a physical fit check, because that affects how we arrange the order and what verification we perform before dispatch.

How do we confirm this guide fits our C8-4v before buying?

Compatibility is established by matching your probe’s serial number and head dimensions against the manufacturer’s mounting drawings for this guide. That check is done per order, not assumed from the catalogue, and the result is confirmed with you before any payment or delivery commitment is made.
