This sign warns that voltages in excess of 1500V are present within the instrument (see also Section 2). ATTENTION Symbol See warnings in Section 2 regarding the use of the Magstim 200 APPLIED PART Symbol BF Type Applied Part. The applied part of this device, namely the stimulating coil, is electrically isolated from the other parts of the equipment as required by safety standards of BSEN60601-1.
SECTION 4: REAR PANEL DESCRIPTION MAINS POWER Switch (1) To connect the mains supply to the Magstim 200 set the mains power switch the ON (I) position. To disconnect the mains supply, the mains switch on the rear panel of the unit must be set to the OFF (0) position.

In these cases the Magstim and the recording instrument will have to be synchronised so that the magnetic pulse produced by the Magstim occurs exactly at the start of the recording sweep of the recording instrument.
The maximum number of units that can be safely stacked on top of the base Magstim is 3. Attempts to exceed this limit could result in crush damage to the base Magstim 200 .

SECTION 7: USING THE MAGSTIM 200 7.1 DESCRIPTION OF THE COIL – Standard 90mm Coil – 3193-00 Magnetic nerve stimulation can be achieved by discharging the Magstim with the Stimulating Coil in the vicinity of neuromuscular tissue. Current flows from the instrument through the coil in only one direction.

Magstim 200 of muscles in the body allowing for the functional assessment of motor pathways. In the case of the MAGSTIM the discharge current in the stimulating coil and the resulting magnetic pulse is mono-phasic allowing for mono-hemispheric stimulation. To record the best responses from muscles in the right side of the body always place the coil such that Side A is visible to the operator and Side B is touching the subject.
The recording instrument can be triggered from the TRIGGER OUTPUT socket on the rear panel of the Magstim 200 Alternatively, the Magstim can be triggered by the recording equipment via the TRIGGER INPUT socket on the rear panel of the Magstim. LUMENIS EX1091 Page 21...

3. The use of a larger reference electrode is recommended to reduce impedance. For your information, The Magstim Company Limited also supplies a special EMG Lead Kit (Part Number 9831-00) designed for use with magnetic stimulators to help reduce artifact.
LEDs located on the User Interface Controller – see section 3, items 6 - 8. 2. If the coil surface temperature reaches its set limit, the REPLACE COIL indicator will illuminate and the Magstim 200 will be put into its safe inactive default condition. The default condition indicator will illuminate.
SECTION 9: MAINTENANCE AND SERVICING 9.1 VOLTAGE SELECTION AND FUSE RATING The Magstim Model 200 may be operated from supplies in the range 110- 120V and 220-240V. The voltage selector on the rear panel and the adjacent fuses must correspond to the supply voltage as indicated in the...
9.2 USER MAINTENANCE At the start of each session the Operator must check the Magstim 200 and the stimulating coil for any signs of damage, paying particular attention to the plastic casing. If there are any signs of physical damage to the Magnetic Stimulator, or the stimulating coil, they must not be used.
