Ensure you are familiar with all sections of this operating manual prior to using the coil.
Operating Manual: Further information can be located in the operating manual.
Type BF Applied Part: Refer to Section 6.1 for further information.
High Voltages: High voltages are present in the2nd Generation Coils during operation. Therefore:
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.
ensure that the system is disarmed prior to disconnecting the stimulating coil from the
stimulator.
Magnetic Pulses: The coils generate high intensity magnetic pulses, which induce eddy currents
in any conductive medium, such as the human body, nearby metallic objects or electronic devices.
Therefore, the coils:
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;
Damage: If there are any signs of damage to the Coils, or if any parts are damp or wet, the coil
must not be used*. If damaged, the coil should be returned to the Magstim Company Limited for
servicing and repair (see Section 7.2 for contact details).
Explosive and Flammable Atmospheres: The Magstim 2nd Generation Coils must not be used
in an explosive atmosphere, around explosive gases or in the presence of flammable
anaesthetics.
Modification: No modification of this equipment is allowed. On no account must either of the
multi-function buttons on the stimulating coil be permanently activated, by taping down, or any
other method of fixing. They are designed as a safety interlock, to disable them could result in a
serious injury as a result of an inadvertent discharge of the coil.
Surface Temperatures: The coil surface temperature will continue to rise following activation of
the stimulator’s coil over temperature function; therefore, the coil must be removed from the
subject as soon as the system indicates that the coil has reached maximum temperature.

Discharge noise: When the magnetic pulse is delivered, a discharge click is produced that may
startle. The use of ear protection is recommended for the operator and adult patients. Ear
protection is mandatory for children.
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.
Environmental Conditions*: The system must not be used or stored under environmental
conditions that fall outside those specified in section 6.3 of this operating manual.
Liquids: The Magstim 2nd Generation Coils must not be immersed in water, placed in an ice
bucket, or refrigerated; not even if first placed in a plastic bag. The coils do not have any
specialised protection against the ingress of liquids; conditions where ingress of liquid, or the
forming of condensation within the coil, can occur must be avoided, as the electrical insulation will

4.4 Interlocks
The multi-function buttons* (Remote control coils) and interlock button (Standard Coil) behave as
trigger interlocks when using one of the central trigger methods (e.g. stimulator footswitch). Therefore,
at least one of the buttons must be engaged in order for the system to be triggered in this mode of
operation.
There is an automatic coil temperature interlock applied by the stimulator. When the maximum
temperature is reached, the coil temperature indicator* will be illuminated and the stimulator will return
to stopped mode. The coil should then be removed from the subject and allowed to cool.
4.5 Error Codes
The 2nd Generation Coils will display the appropriate error code on its display. (See Appendix A for a

SECTION 5 MAINTENANCE
5.1 User Maintenance and Calibration
There are no user maintenance or calibration requirements for the 2nd Generation Coils. However, it is
important that they are checked for any sign of damage at the start of each session*. If any cracks are
visible in the plastic covers, or if there is damage to the handle or cable, the coil must not be used and
should be returned to The Magstim Company Limited for servicing and repair (see Section for
contact details).
5.2 Technical Maintenance
The contacts in the coil connector and the stimulator coil socket should be checked before connecting
to the system for any signs of tarnishing or burning*. Under conditions of exceptionally intense use, it
is possible for localised heating to manifest itself in the connector, which causes damage to the
contacts. Continued use in this condition will eventually cause the contacts to deteriorate and loose
electrical connection, which will cause damage to the system.
Repair is a specialised procedure and can only be undertaken by The Magstim Company Limited or
an authorised service centre. If any pins show damage, however slight, contact The Magstim
Company Limited service department for further advice or to arrange a return (see Section 7.2 for
contact details).
Warning: contact burning is communicable, so any coil with damaged contacts will infect a stimulator
with healthy contacts and vice-versa. Therefore, if damage is noticed on any coil connector or
stimulator coil socket the entire system must not be used until all contacts are carefully examined and
repaired where appropriate. If this is not done thoroughly there is a risk that the cycle of pin damage
will continue.
5.3 Cleaning and Disinfecting*
The 2nd Generation Coils cannot be sterilised; therefore, do not allow them to become contaminated
with bodily fluids. The coils may be cleaned using a cloth moistened with isopropyl alcohol but ensure
that the coils have dried thoroughly before use.
It is the responsibility of the user to ensure the 2nd Generation Coils are cleaned when necessary.
Note: The Magstim Company Ltd recommends that a solution of 70% isopropyl alcohol should be
used.
5.4 Servicing
Servicing of the 2nd Generation Coils must only be carried out by The Magstim Company Limited or
persons authorised by the Magstim Company Limited. To arrange a return or for further information,
contact the service department at The Magstim Company Limited (see Section 7.2 for contact
details).
5.5 Device Lifetime
The lifetime of the 2nd Generation Coils is defined as being five years from the date of shipment. The
Magstim Company Limited will support the products for the duration of their lifetime.
