UA1324 consists of a needle guide and a mounting ring with clamp. The needle guide
comprises 9 parallel guide channels, spaced 5mm apart, each with an internal
diameter of 2.1mm, suitable for a 14-gauge needle. The guide is parallel to the
centerline of the transducer.
Note:
The needle guide can be adjusted 70mm lengthwise with respect to the
mounting ring, using the adjustment screw.

Mounting the Transperineal Puncture Guide
To mount the transperineal puncture attachment, ensure that the dummy channel
bracket UA1325 is in place. Pull a sterile transducer cover over the transducer.
Loosen the clamp on UA1324, and slide the attachment over the tip of the transducer
until it meets the steel stud on the side of the transducer. The puncture attachment
should be correctly positioned so that the groove slides easily over the stud. No force
should be used when attaching the puncture attachment to the transducer.
