Frequently asked questions

On ordering: what after-sales support applies to this guide, and is it set in the catalogue?

The product data mentions a return and replacement service and a one-year period. The precise terms for this unit, including whether return shipping or labour is covered, are confirmed separately for each order. Contact the supplier with your purchase number to confirm what applies.

Which information should I attach when enquiring about the 4V1 or PH4-1 guide?

Send a focused photograph of the probe face and its model label, plus the serial number if visible. State whether the probe is marked 4V1 or PH4-1. Mention your needle gauge within fourteen to twenty-two, as the channel fit can vary by gauge.

How is compatibility confirmed before I place an order?

Compatibility is confirmed by comparing your probe model and physical connector shape against the listed names 4V1 and PH4-1. The supplier will ask for probe photos and dimensions. Do not assume fit from the catalogue alone, as the array type is not part of this record.

What connector or labelling checks should I perform on this guide when it arrives?

Check the guide frame for a moulded or etched marking showing 4V1 or SSM-041. Confirm the needle channel aligns with the probe’s central groove. Verify the locking mechanism engages firmly with the probe housing before any procedure. No universal connector standard applies.
