Reported risk: A single computer connected to more than one SmartStim model 200 device. In some instances, as in the case with computers with slower/less powerful CPUs, this presented a problem. When more than a single device was connected to a single pc, what could happen is that the connection would drop, causing the TDCs stimulation to stop. There is a mild risk of seeing a flash of light, because of the abrupt interruption of the stimulation otherwise no injuries could occur in such a scenario.
