Magstim Model 2002
The Magstim Model 20{i, its stimulating coil and accessories must not be used
if
there are any signs
of
external damage or ifany parts are damp or wet.
Cortical magnetic stimulation runs the risk
of
inducing seizures. This device is
cleared only for peripheral nerve stimulation for diagnostic purposes.
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 -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. See Section 4 for more infonnation.
Trigger 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
output. See section 4 for more information.
Protection circuits in the Magstim Magnetic Stimulator disable the equipment
ifthe surface temperature
of
the stimulating coil exceeds to set limit. The
stimulating coil is intended for transient use, the surface temperature limits for
which, being
41
°C.
If
it is intended that the coil be used for more prolonged
contact, the proposed protocol must
be
nm, prior to its application on a patient,
to ensure that the surface temperature does not rise above
41
°C
during
operation.
The stimulating coil must not be immersed in water, put in an ice bucket, or
refrigerated. Not even
if
placed within a plastic bag. The stimulating coil does
not have any specialised protection against the ingress
of
liquids, therefore
conditions where ingress
of
liquid, or the forming ofcondensation within the
stimulating coil, can occur must be avoided
as
the electrical insulation will be
compromised. Cooling must only be perfonned 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 stimulating coil over-temp activating and forcing
the main unit into a standby condition. Therefore, the stimulating 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 stimulating coil's use on,
or by, pregnant women. We recommend that anyone wishing
to
use the
stimulating 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.
