The Apollo TMS Therapy System is indicated for the treatment of Major Depressive Disorder in adult patients who have failed to achieve satisfactory improvement from prior antidepressant medication in the current episode and as an adjunct for the treatment of MDD in adolescent patients (age 15-21).

The Apollo TMS Therapy System is an electromagnetic device that non-invasively delivers a rapidly pulsed magnetic field to the cerebral cortex in order to activate neurons within a limited volume without inducing a seizure. This method of cortical stimulation by application of brief magnetic pulses to the head is known as Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS). The Apollo TMS Therapy System is comprised of the following principal components: User Interface, Main Unit (with or without housing), Stimulation Coil, Coil Positioning System. The operator controls the Apollo TMS Therapy System via the user interface (application software "Stimware"). "Stimware" is a treatment and data management software that administrates treatment protocols and the patient´s individual stimulation dose determined by the patient´s individual motor threshold. Stimulation is applied via the stimulation coil. For the treatment of major depressive disorder, the stimulation coil is positioned to the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) by means of the coil positioning system.
