Please can I remind all TMS operators and anyone using the TMS lab to take
due care when using and putting away the TMS coils. Today we have found
that four of the tracking spheres on the coil trackers needed replacing.
The retroreflective surface on the spheres is delicate and will wear if
touched or knocked. This will lead to inaccurate tracking for your
experiments as the centre of the sphere will be misestimated by the
Brainsight system. Further, this suggests that the coil trackers are
getting knocked which is not ideal as these are delicate, precision
instruments.
It is important that you check the spheres on the coil trackers each time
you run an experiment. If you find they are damaged please talk to Andre or
myself. We can then help you replace the markers and order more as required
to make sure experiments can continue to run smoothly
I have attached a photo of one of the damaged spheres from today for
reference
Thanks
Bruce
