Identifying the correct Sublative iD treatment tip requires more than matching the words “Candela 64 tips” in a product listing.

Buyers need to distinguish the individual tip reference, pack reference, electrode configuration, pulse specification and expiration date. These details are particularly important when reviewing older inventory advertised as a ten-pack with EXP 2025.

This guide explains the product references and the checks needed before purchasing replacement consumables.

Stock notice: a pack labeled EXP 2025 is past its stated expiration date. It should not be represented as suitable for patient treatment merely because its packaging is unopened.

What Are Sublative iD Standard 64 Tips?

Sublative iD tips are treatment consumables associated with Candela’s Sublative radiofrequency technology.

Candela describes Sublative as delivering fractional bipolar RF through a multi-electrode pin array. This should not be confused with a conventional penetrating RF microneedling cartridge. Candela

Customers may search using:

• Sublative iD Standard 64 tips.
• Candela Sublative replacement tips.
• Syneron Sublative tips.
• AS79253 treatment tips.
• KT72861 ten-pack.
• eTwo Sublative consumables.
• Standard 64 RF tips.

These descriptions help locate products, but the exact label remains essential for identification.

AS79253 and KT72861: What Is the Difference?

The two references describe different packaging levels.

These descriptions appear in the public AccessGUDID device records. The individual AS79253 record also identifies eTwo in its device description. accessgudid.nlm.nih.gov

A database entry helps identify a product. It does not authenticate a seller’s inventory or independently confirm compatibility with every equipment configuration.

KT72861 Is Not a Console Model

A listing written as “AS79253 for KT72861” can create confusion.

In the records reviewed here, KT72861 identifies the ten-pack. Buyers should therefore distinguish the tip and pack references from the actual console and applicator model.

For equipment compatibility, request separate confirmation of the supported system and handpiece.

What Does Standard 64 Mean?

Standard 64 identifies the electrode-pin configuration.

It should not be interpreted as the pulse count or pack quantity. Those are separate specifications:

• Standard 64 identifies the tip configuration.
• 100 Pulse identifies the recorded pulse specification.
• Ten-pack identifies the number of tips in the package.

A complete quotation should preserve all three distinctions.

Is AS79253 a 100-, 200- or 400-Pulse Tip?

The AS79253 records reviewed identify the 100-pulse product.

Other Standard 64 products appear with different pulse specifications and references. Do not assume they are identical to AS79253 because they share the Standard 64 name.

If a seller advertises AS79253 with a different pulse count, request clarification and supporting label photographs before ordering.

Sublative and Sublime Are Different Technologies

Sublative and Sublime are separate Candela technology names.

Candela describes Sublative as fractional RF delivered through an electrode array, while Sublime combines bipolar RF and light energy. Candela

A Sublative tip should not be ordered as a replacement for a Sublime applicator simply because both names appear on related platform information.

The quotation must identify the intended technology and supported applicator.

Checking Equipment Compatibility

Before ordering, provide the supplier with:

1. Console model.
2. Applicator or handpiece identification.
3. Existing verified tip reference.
4. Relevant equipment-label photographs.
5. Country of operation.

Ask for written confirmation supported by applicable documentation.

Do not assume that eTwo, Matrix or other platform listings establish universal compatibility. Similar branding or electrode counts are insufficient.

EXP 2025: What This Means for the Listed Pack

If the product label states EXP 2025, the pack is expired as of 2026.

The exact month and day should be recorded from the label, but any expiration date within 2025 is already past.

Unopened packaging does not extend the stated shelf life. Neither does an unused pulse capacity or successful equipment recognition.

For patient-treatment purchasing, obtain appropriately documented, in-date stock. Keep expired items separate from usable clinical inventory and follow the manufacturer’s instructions concerning their disposition.

Do not describe this batch as “ready for treatment,” “current-expiry stock” or “clinically usable” without a valid manufacturer-backed basis.

Sterile Labeling Does Not Resolve Expiration

The public product records describe the product as packaged sterile, and the ten-pack record identifies single-use status. accessgudid.nlm.nih.gov

That product classification does not establish that a specific expired pack remains suitable for use.

Check the actual item’s identity, protective packaging, expiration and storage history. An intact-looking package cannot independently resolve all of those questions.

Original Product Claims and Traceability

Ask the seller to support any claim that the goods are original Candela products.

Useful information includes:

• Manufacturer labeling.
• Exact product references.
• Lot or batch information.
• Expiration date.
• Relevant supply records.
• Manufacturer verification where available.

A reference matching a public database does not prove that the physical item is authentic.

The seller’s authorization status and the product’s origin should also be assessed separately.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is AS79253?

It is the recorded reference for the individual Standard 64 Sublative iD 100-pulse tip.

What is KT72861?

It is the recorded ten-pack reference for the Standard 64 Sublative iD 100-pulse product.

Does Standard 64 mean 64 pulses?

No. Electrode configuration and pulse specification are separate.

Is this a microneedling cartridge?

Sublative uses a multi-electrode RF array. It should not be treated as interchangeable with penetrating RF microneedling cartridges.

Does unopened EXP 2025 stock become suitable because it is unused?

No. Unopened condition does not override expiration.

Does a database listing establish authenticity?

No. It supports identification, not authentication of a seller’s goods.

Identify the Product and Its Current Status

Use AS79253 and KT72861 to distinguish the individual tip from its ten-pack. Then verify the actual batch, equipment compatibility and expiration.

For the pack described as EXP 2025, expiration is a material purchasing detail that must remain clearly disclosed.
