2022 Neuronetics NeuroStar

NeuroStar is a medical device system developed to deliver transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) as a non‑drug, noninvasive therapy for psychiatric disorders.

• Uses a figure‑8 coil design to localize magnetic pulses to targeted brain regions (dorsolateral prefrontal cortex) with precision.
• The magnetic field strength is comparable to those used in MRI systems
• It incorporates Precision Pulse TMS proprietary coil and pulse control, intended to improve consistency and patient throughput.
• NeuroStar uses software and hardware aids such as MT Cap, Fast MT, and D‑Tect to speed up and refine motor threshold determination (minimal stimulus intensity that provokes a motor response).
• It supports a 3D laser‑guided six‑point coordinate system to ensure accurate and reproducible coil positioning across repeated sessions.
• It has contact sensing capabilities to ensure that the coil is flush to the scalp, reducing variability in stimulus delivery.
