Operating Manual
Seizures: cortical magnetic stimulation runs the risk of inducing seizures. Magstim concurs with
the advice given in the paper titled ·'Safety, ethical considerations and application guidelines for
the use of TMS in clinical practice and research" by Rossi et al (2009) in respect to screening
candidates prior to administering TMS.
Pregnancy: few medical papers on the effects of magnetic stimulation on the unborn child/foetus
or the expectant mother are currently available. As a result, The Magstim Company Limited is
unable to verify the safety of coil use on, or by, pregnant women. We recommend that anyone
wishing to use the coils on a pregnant woman, or to use it whilst pregnant, should contact The
Magstim Company Limited for more information.
Environmental Conditions: The system must not be used or stored under environmental
conditions that fall outside those specified in this operating manual.
Stacking Limit: Magstim 200
2
Units may be stacked on top of each other, but must not exceed
the stacking limit specified in Section 6 of this operating manual. If this limit is exceeded, the stack
may become unstable and overbalance risking injury to patients or users and risking damage to
the unit's themselves.
If the stacking limit is reached it can have a weight of up to 80kg. Ensure that the surface upon
which to system is to be placed is capable of supporting this weight. Failure to do so may result in
injury or damage. The weight for each individual 200
2
is in excess of 20kg
