(TMS operators - sorry for cross posting - info copied to all YNiC users
to keep everyone in the loop).
Hi all,
We have now negotiated a service / maintenance / repair contract with
Magstim and are ready to send some units & coils off for service.
The plan is to send one stimulator unit & PSU (top and bottom pair) with
2/ 3 coils, keeping the other unit and some coils on site while the
first is being serviced. This should in theory allow us to keep using
the lab with the 2nd unit while the 1st is checked. Once the 1st set is
returned, we will send the 2nd set off for service with other coils.
I need to know, from anyone intending to use TMS over the next 4-6
weeks, the details of the coils you are using - which coils and how many
you use in a session. We may need to coordinate across groups if (as)
there are differing coil requirements. FYI, if no faults are detected,
magstim expects the turnaround per service to be 7-10 days.
Please let me know ASAP.
Andre'
