Contraindications
 WARNING: Failure to follow the restrictions listed below could result in serious injury or death.
The sTMS mini creates a very strong single-pulse magnetic field. The System has been prescribed by your doctor for your use only.
The System may not be used in patients who have metals, conductive materials, or metal-containing implants in their head, neck or
upper body. Metals and conductive materials can be affected by a magnetic field. You should discuss this with your doctor before
use.
Do not use the System if you have a cardiac pacemaker, vagus stimulator (VNS) or other implanted neurostimulator, implanted
cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) or any implanted medical device that stimulates the body or uses any signal from the body.
Talk to your doctor before using the System if you receive an implant. Patients with implants affected by a magnetic field should not
use the System. Examples of such implants include:
 Aneurysm clips or coils
 Cochlear implants
 Cerebral spinal fluid shunts
 Bullets or pellets lodged in the head or upper
body
 Metal plates, screws, staples or sutures in
skull, neck, shoulders, arms or hands
 Radioactive seeds
 Magnetically programmable shunt valves
 Stents
 Filters
 Metallic artificial heart valves
 Facial tattoos with metallic ink
 Electrodes
Dental implants, fillings or other dental appliances are okay and are not affected by the device.
NOTE: If you have an implanted medical device but are not sure if it has metals or conductive
materials, please talk to your doctor before using the sTMS mini.
