10 Overview of Transducer Arrays
The transducer arrays are adhesive bandages that hold insulated ceramic discs that are needed to deliver treatment. The
transducer arrays should be used with Optune
®
only.
Four transducer arrays are used at one time. There are two dierent color transducer arrays, one type has a white
connection end and one has a black connection end. You will need two transducer arrays with white connection
ends, and two transducer arrays with black connection ends every time you change your arrays. In the clinical study in
subjects whose tumor reappeared after cancer drugs, half of the patients used at least 36 transducer arrays each month.
Most patients (95%) used between 20 and 60 transducer arrays each month. Put the transducer arrays on a clean,
shaven scalp. Put them on your scalp in the place where your doctor told you, based on the location of your tumor.
The transducer arrays are disposable. Change them at least two times per week (every 4 days at most). Your hair growth
will prevent good contact between the transducer arrays and your scalp. Shave the scalp again before you apply a new
set of transducer arrays.
Please contact Novocure to arrange for proper disposal of used transducer arrays. Do not
dispose of your used transducer arrays in household trash.
