Philips ClearVue-S4-1 Biopsy Needle Guide (PSM-043)

When your department needs to replace or duplicate a biopsy guide for the Philips convex probe in the ClearVue series, this catalogue record identifies the specific SKU PHILIPS_PSM-043_ClearVue-S4-1. The unit is offered in a Compatible-New condition, meaning it is a newly manufactured replacement item, not a used or refurbished part. Its construction uses medical stainless steel, and it accepts needles from fourteen to twenty-two gauge, which covers common sampling sizes for abdominal and obstetric or gynaecological procedures. The guide operates manually, requiring no power source, so it integrates directly into your existing ultrasound workflow without additional infrastructure. Because warranty terms, return policy scope, and delivery schedules vary with each order, those commercial points are agreed individually after you make contact, rather than being fixed in this record.

For procurement teams, the relevant specification pairs are drawn from the supplier's listing: the guide is reusable, carries CE quality certification, and is manufactured in Guangdong, China under the Akicare brand name. The after-sale service is return and replacement, but the exact duration and conditions of that service are confirmed per transaction. Shelf life is stated as one year from manufacture, and the warranty period is part of the item's listed terms, yet its enforcement depends on your purchase agreement. Use this page as a baseline for identifying the part; finalise compatibility with your specific probe serial number and your hospital's sterilisation protocol before issuing a request for quotation.

For a convex probe configuration, review the related listing Biopsy Guides and the Philips ClearVue-C9-4v Biopsy Needle Guide (PEM-035) to compare mounting compatibility across your Philips ClearVue fleet.

Frequently asked questions

What happens if this guide arrives with a defect or does not fit our probe?

The item's listed after-sale service covers return and replacement, and the warranty period is one year. However, the exact handling of a return, including who covers freight and what proof is required, is settled individually with the supplier for each order. Contact us before purchasing to agree those details.

Does the Compatible-New option mean this is a used part or an original Philips unit?

Neither. Compatible-New describes a freshly made replacement guide that is not an original Philips product. It is built for the specified Philips probe in the ClearVue series by Akicare, using medical stainless steel. The compatibility is based on the supplier's stated model number, not on a universal fit assurance from Philips.

How is this guide different from the Philips ClearVue-C9-4v Biopsy Needle Guide (PEM-035) listed on this page?

The PEM-035 unit is for a different probe in the ClearVue series, a transducer geometry distinct from the convex array covered here. This PSM-043 record is specific to its named probe model. Both are reusable stainless steel guides, but you must select the one that matches your probe. The sibling listing is provided for reference only.

Can this guide be used for abdominal and OB/GYN procedures right out of the box?

The listed applications are abdominal and OB/GYN, and the guide accepts fourteen to twenty-two gauge needles. Suitability for a particular procedure depends on your needle choice, probe condition, and clinical protocol. Verify that the probe has the correct mounting bracket and that the guide locks securely before clinical use.
