Sonosite L38xi Biopsy Needle Guide (NSM-050)

This catalogue entry pairs the Sonosite L38xi Biopsy Needle Guide (NSM-050) with the L38 family of linear-array transducers, namely the L38, L38e, L38x, L38xi and L38xp models. It sits within the Biopsy Guides section as a reusable accessory in medical stainless steel, accepting needles of fourteen to twenty-two gauge. Its stated applications are MSK, Small Parts and Vascular, although the specification pairs also list OB/GYN, so procurement teams should align intended use with the compatible probe model noted in their own records.

Construction is manual, with no power source, and the guide is supplied as Compatible-New rather than a Sonosite-branded original. The unit carries a warranty of one year alongside a return-and-replacement after-sales service, but both are defined order by order. Origin is Guangdong, China, with a CE quality certification noted. Every unit differs in condition, so delivery, warranty scope and test coverage are agreed case by case after you contact the supplier.

This listing sits within the Biopsy Guides section and pairs with the Sonosite L38v Linear Ultrasound Probe for facilities running mixed L38 transducers.

Frequently asked questions

When enquiring: how does the after-sales service operate for a guide that fails shortly after delivery?

Return and replacement is the stated service, but its scope varies between individual units. The warranty runs for one year, although the exact terms depend on the order. Raise any defect with the supplier before requesting a quote to confirm what applies to that particular guide.

What steps do we take to confirm this guide fits our probe model?

Compatibility is verified by matching the probe model on your system against the L38, L38e, L38x, L38xi or L38xp listing. The catalogue holds no system-level detail for this item, so confirm the probe exact model number and ask the supplier to verify fit for that serial batch.

Which physical details on the guide and probe merit a check at goods receipt?

Inspect the probe housing for the model number and compare it with the guide compatible list. Look at the needle channel to confirm the gauge range markings, since the guide supports fourteen to twenty-two gauge, and verify the stainless steel surface is free of burrs. Keep a photo of the labels for your records.
