SECTION 2 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
Attention Consult Operating Manual: Consult the operating manual before using this device.
Ensure you are familiar with all sections of this operating manual prior to using the Rapid² system.
Operating Manual: Further information can be located in the operating manual. Where this
symbol is adjacent to a particular function on the Rapid² labelling, further information on this
function can be found in this operating manual.
Type BF Applied Part: Refer to Section 6.1 for further information.
Warning High Voltages: High voltages are present in the Magstim Rapid² system and
accessories during operation and for up to 20 minutes following operation. Therefore:
High Voltages: High voltages are present in the Magstim Rapid² system and accessories during
operation and for up to 20 minutes following operation. Therefore:
Coil Temperature: The system monitors the coil temperature and if this reaches 40°C, the
stimulator will be disabled. The coil surface temperature may continue to rise after this point;
therefore, the coil must be removed from the subject.
Rear Panel Outputs
to the Magstim Rapid² system.
This connection must be configured in compliance with Clause 16 of IEC 60601-1:2005 with the
following interface voltage limitation: Max signalling voltage +5.3V; Max voltage with respect to
protective earth potential 30V peak
Magnetic Pulses: the system generates high intensity magnetic pulses through its coils, which
induce eddy currents in any conductive medium, such as the human body, nearby metallic objects
or electronic devices. Therefore, the system:

do not remove covers. Refer servicing to qualified personnel.
if there is any sign of external damage or if any parts are damp or wet, they
must not be used. Ensure that the System is not subject to conditions where
water/ liquid may be tipped on it, including the UI Controller.
ensure that the system is switched off prior to removing the HV cables at the
rear of the system*.
ensure that the system is disarmed prior to disconnecting the stimulating coil.
*
: Only equipment that meets the relevant IEC standard should be connected
must not be used on, or in the vicinity of subjects with cardiac demand
pacemakers, implanted defibrillators, or other electronic or metallic implants;
must not be used in a position where the current can be induced in cables or
wires that are directly connected to the subject;
must not be used in the vicinity of objects that are sensitive to magnetic fields,
such as watches, credit cards and electronic equipment; and
must not be used when in contact with metallic objects, as these objects may be
propelled or damaged by the magnetic field of the coil.
