Philips L18-5 Biopsy Needle Guide (PSM-047)

This catalogue record covers the Philips L18-5 Biopsy Needle Guide, listed as model PSM-047 and SKU PHILIPS_PSM-047_L18-5. The unit is a reusable biopsy needle guide constructed from medical stainless steel, designed for manual operation. It accepts needle gauges from fourteen to twenty-two gauge and is specified for applications in obstetrics and gynaecology, as well as for musculoskeletal, small parts and vascular work. The condition option offered here is Compatible-New, meaning the guide is a new compatible unit rather than a Philips original. The guide is intended for use with Philips L17-5 and L18-5 linear probes.

Physical identification of this unit centres on the stainless steel body and the manual clamp mechanism that attaches to the probe face. The compatibility brand is Philips, with the place of origin recorded as Guangdong, China. The manufacturer brand name is Akicare, and the quality certification is CE. Warranty cover, after-sale service and shelf life are settled case by case for each order, so procurement teams should confirm those terms directly before committing. No other specifications are recorded for this record.

For dealers building a complete system, this biopsy guide pairs naturally with the Biopsy Guides category and the Philips L17-5 Linear Ultrasound Probe, which shares the same clamp interface.

Frequently asked questions

What does the warranty cover on this PSM-047 guide?

Warranty cover for this item is agreed individually per order. The recorded warranty is one year, but the precise scope, including return and replacement terms, depends on the order quantity, destination and condition option selected. Confirm the final warranty wording with the supplier before you place the purchase order.

Specific to this model, how do I check the connector and labelling on this L18-5 guide?

Inspect the stainless steel clamp for a smooth fit over the probe face, since this is a manual guide without electronic connectors. Check that the model number PSM-047 and the L17-5 and L18-5 compatibility markings appear on the packaging or label. The source location is Guangdong, China.

Does this guide work for MSK and vascular scanning?

The recorded applications for this guide include MSK, small parts and vascular, alongside the traditional OB/GYN use. The stainless steel construction and fourteen to twenty-two gauge needle range support those procedural settings. You should verify the exact probe face geometry against your L18-5 probe before use, as manual guides depend on a snug fit.

How is this different from the Philips L17-5 Linear Ultrasound Probe listing?

This record is for the biopsy needle guide accessory, while the linked listing covers the Philips L17-5 Linear Ultrasound Probe itself. The guide is compatible with both the L17-5 and L18-5 probes, making the two records complementary. Buyers sourcing both items should treat them as separate catalogue entries with separate order terms.
