are any signs of external damage or if any parts are damp or wet.
Cortical magnetic stimulation runs the risk of inducing seizures.
Do not discharge the Stimulating Coil in the vicinity of objects sensitive to
magnetic fields. Examples are credit cards, floppy disks and computer screens.
Trigger input/output – only equipment that meets EN 60601-1 ( IEC 601-1 ),
and configured in compliance with EN 60601-1-1, should be connected to this
input.
Protection circuits in the Magstim Magnetic Stimulator disable the equipment
if the surface temperature of the Coil exceeds to set limit. The 90mm Coil is
intended for transient use, the surface temperature limits for which, being 50
If it is intended that the coil be used for more prolonged contact, the proposed
protocol must be run, prior to its application on a patient, to ensure that the
surface temperature does not rise above 41
Coils must not be immersed in water, put in an ice bucket, or refrigerated. Not
even if placed within a plastic bag. The coils do not have any specialised
protection against the ingress of liquids, therefore conditions where ingress of
liquid, or the forming of condensation within the coil, can occur must be
avoided as the electrical insulation will be compromised. Cooling must only be
performed by using a flow of cool air from a fan or air conditioning unit.
Due to thermal lag, the surface temperature of the Stimulating Coil will
continue to rise following the coil over-temp activating and forcing the main
unit into a standby condition. Therefore, the Coil must be removed from the
patient as soon as the replace coil symbol is illuminated.
There are currently few medical papers available regarding the effects of
magnetic stimulation on the unborn child/ foetus or the expectant mother. As a
result of this, we are unable to verify the safety of the Coil's use on, or by,
pregnant women. We recommend that anyone wishing to use the Coil on a
pregnant woman, or use it whilst pregnant, should contact the Magstim
Company Ltd. for more information as new medical papers become available.
On no account must the Magstim 200
