14 Place the Transducer Arrays on Your Head
After you prepare your scalp (Section 13), put the transducer arrays on your head with the help of a doctor or caregiver
if needed. Every 4 days (at most), remove the transducer arrays, prepare the scalp (as outlined in Section 13) and put on
a new set of transducer arrays. You will know it is time to change transducer arrays when the device alarm beeps more
often. This means that the device is not able to work properly because of hair growth. Hair growth keeps the transducer
arrays from making good contact with your scalp.
To place the transducer arrays on your head, with the help of a caregiver or doctor if needed, follow the steps below.
Note, if this is the first time you have used the transducer arrays, ignore the first step (removal).
Remove the transducer arrays from your head by peeling the medical tape away from your scalp.
Note which color transducer array goes where on your head. The two black arrays are placed in the front and back of
the head and the two white arrays are placed on the sides.
Prepare your skin for the transducer arrays, as described in Section 13.
Peel o the white layer (liner) covering the gel from the first transducer array.
If this is the first time you have used the transducer arrays, put the transducer arrays on your head as shown in the
transducer array layout or the “map” that your doctor gave you. Placement is based on the location of your tumor.
When changing the transducer arrays, place the transducer arrays on your head in the same general location as before,
but shift the transducer arrays less than an inch in the direction of the arrow on your transducer array layout or “map.”
To reduce skin irritation under the transducer arrays, move the transducer arrays a small amount. Shifting the transducer
arrays is not required for the device to work properly.
Place the other three transducer arrays in the same way.
Pull the tabs on each side of the transducer arrays and press them firmly to your scalp.
Press the entire edge of the transducer array tape to your scalp.
