Attention: consult accompanying documentation before using the device(s).
Type BF Applied Part: Refer to Section 6.1 for further information.
High Voltages: High voltages are present in the Magstim 200
2
and its accessories during
operation and for up to 20 minutes following operation. 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.
Flammable Anaesthetics: The Magstim 200
2
and accessories must not be used in an explosive
atmosphere or in the presence of flammable anaesthetics.
Replace coil indicator: 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 as soon as the replace coil indicator is
illuminated.
Rear Panel Outputs: Only equipment that meets the relevant IEC standards and is configured in
compliance with EN 60601-1-1 should be connected to this output.
Caution: 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:
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.
must not be used if the Magstim 200
2
or accessories have any external damage,
or if any part is damp or wet.
Rear Panel Outputs: Only equipment that meets the relevant IEC standards and is configured in
compliance with EN 60601-1-1, should be connected to the Magstim 200
2
Discharge noise: when the magnetic pulse is delivered, a discharge click is produced that may
startle. The use of ear protection is recommended.
