treatment kit. You could also get an electric shock by touching the inner parts of the device. Warning - No modification of this equipment is allowed. – Do not use the Optune Lua device with applied parts or accessories other than those described in this manual. Precautions Caution –...
Notices Notice! The Optune Lua treatment kit and the transducer arrays will activate metal detectors. Notice! You should use the Optune Lua treatment kit for at least 12 hours a day to get the best response to treatment. Using the Optune Lua treatment kit for less than 12 hours a day lowers the chances that you will respond to treatment.
break in treatment. If this happens, unblock the vents, wait 5 minutes and restart the device. In case the vents are blocked with pet hair or dust, return the device for service. Notice! Do not block the battery charger vents located on the left and right sides of the battery charger.
3. WHAT ARE THE RISKS OF USING OPTUNE LUA TREATMENT KIT AND ILE TRANSDUCER ARRAYS? Skin irritation is often seen under the ILE Transducer Arrays when using the Optune Lua treatment kit. This will look like a red rash, small sores or blisters on your body. In general, this will not cause skin damage that cannot be fixed.
5. Optune Lua Battery (IBH9200) 6. Optune Lua electric field generator – the device (TFT9200) 7. Carrying Bag The Optune Lua device is an automatic system. The TTFields treatment should be kept on as continuously as possible (at a minimum 12 hours a day, 7 days a week). Breaks from treatment should be kept as short as possible.

7. BEFORE YOU BEGIN • You will need four (4) ILE Transducer Arrays (sterile) every 3-4 days in order to maintain treatment with the Optune Lua treatment kit. • You will need to make sure you have the right sized flank transducer arrays for your chest size.
8. DIRECTIONS FOR USE 8.1. REMOVING THE TRANSDUCER ARRAY FROM ITS PACKAGE • The ILE Transducer Arrays are supplied sterile and are to be used with the Optune Lua treatment kit only. ILE Transducer Arrays come in two sizes – small and large. You should use two •...
8.2. PREPARING YOUR SKIN FOR TRANSDUCER ARRAY PLACEMENT • Wash your skin on the chest and flanks using a gentle soap. • Remove any remnant adhesive from your skin from prior transducer arrays by wiping with baby oil. • If you have significant chest hair, shave your entire torso using an electric shaver.
8.3. PLACING THE TRANSDUCER ARRAYS Once every 3-4 days perform the following steps to replace your transducer arrays: 1) Remove the transducer arrays already on your chest and flanks by peeling the medical tape away from your skin. Note the black and white color of the transducer array connectors - each pair of the same color will be positioned opposite to each other on your body.
8.4. CONNECTING THE ILE TRANSDUCER ARRAYS TO THE OPTUNE LUA DEVICE • Connect the four black and white transducer array connectors to the corresponding black and white coded sockets on the Optune Lua connection cable. • Make sure the transducer arrays connect the following way: o Front transducer array (large) connects to P1 (black) o Back transducer array (large) connects to N1 (black) o Right transducer array (either large or small) connects to P2 (white)
8.5. THE CONNECTION CABLE The connection cable is the coiled, stretchy cord that runs from the connection box to the device. The four transducer array connectors (two blacks and two whites) are plugged into the connection box. The black and white coding matches with the transducer array position on the body.
8.6. STARTING & STOPPING THE DEVICE To start treatment: The ILE Transducer Arrays should be attached to your body 1. Plug the ILE Transducer Arrays into the connection cable box (see Sections 8.4 and 8.5) 2. Plug the connection cable into the device, aligning the connector arrow with the socket arrow (see Section 8.5).

If, after this, the indicator lights do not light up, refer to the Troubleshooting Guide (Section 12). If you still have problems, contact Novocure technical support (Section 13). The green, blue and yellow indicators automatically dim in a dark room. The red “ERROR”...
Page 24
TTFields button should be pressed once to silence the alarm and again to start the therapy. The blue “TTFIELDS” indicator will then illuminate. TO STOP TREATMENT: Stopping treatment may be performed in each of the following situations: A. When the device is running properly and you need to take a break : 1.
Page 25
B. When an Error condition occurs: If an error occurs, the device stops the treatment and sounds a loud beeping alarm. The red “ERROR” indicator illuminates (as shown below). 1. Press the TTFields button to stop the alarm. The red “ERROR” indicator will turn OFF.
8.7. CONNECTING AND DISCONNECTING THE BATTERY The Optune Lua treatment kit is provided with four rechargeable batteries. Optune Lua operation requires one battery at a time. The other three batteries should stay in the battery charger. If you plan to be away from home for more than one hour, carry extra batteries. Slide the battery into the device.
Page 27
When the “BATTERY” indicator turns yellow, there are two ways to continue your treatment: A. Option one: If you are near the direct wall power supply, connect the power supply to the wall outlet to provide continuous therapy. This can be used before the battery is completely depleted, and before the device has alarmed.
8.8. CHARGING THE BATTERY Checking the Battery Gauge While you are using the Optune Lua treatment kit, you may want to check how much energy is left in your battery. Checking the battery will not interfere with, or stop, your treatment.
Page 29
The battery charger recharges used batteries. The battery charger uses power from a standard wall outlet. Each battery sits in a slot that connects it directly to the charger. Before charging the batteries, plug the charger power cord into a standard wall outlet and turn ON the power switch at the charger rear side.

8.9. USING THE PLUG IN POWER SUPPLY When you plan to stay in one place for a while, like when you are sleeping, you may use the plug-in power supply instead of the batteries. Unlike the batteries, there is no limit to how long the device can work when you use the plug-in power supply.
8.10. DISCONNECTING FROM THE DEVICE There are two ways to unplug the device in order to take a break from treatment: • To unplug the connection cable from the device. • To unplug the four transducer arrays from the connection cable. To Unplug the Connection Cable from the Device 1.
Page 33
To Unplug the Transducer Arrays from the Connection Cable To take a break from treatment and completely disconnect from the device, unplug the ILE Transducer Arrays from the connection cable box. The four transducer arrays are plugged into the connection cable box (as described in Section 8.5). The connection cable remains plugged into the device socket.
8.11. CARRYING THE DEVICE Both the electric field generator and the battery fit in a carrying bag. The bag can be carried in one of three ways: by the handle on top or over the shoulder/ cross-body with a carrying strap attached, or as a backpack as shown below.
