Receiving treatment wherever you go

You have the flexibility to decide which times of the day are best for you to use Optune Lua.

The device can be set on the nightstand next to you while you sleep
For sleeping, or other times when you plan to stay in the same place for a while, plug the device into a standard wall outlet
The device can be carried when you are using a battery

Remember:

You should turn on Optune Lua at least 75% of the time (18 hours per day)
Be sure to keep the arrays on your upper body, even during times when you turn Optune Lua off. Arrays should be replaced at least twice per week (every 4 days at most)
To get the best response from treatment, Optune Lua should be worn for about 18 hours a day. Wearing the arrays while you sleep can help you reach that goal. You can take breaks, if needed

Be sure to carry extra batteries when you are running errands or traveling.

MyLink^TM—an easier way to upload Optune Lua usage data

Optune Lua records the amount of time that therapy is delivered per day. To help you view that data, your MyLink device pairs with your Optune Lua device to securely transfer your usage data.

MyLink enables you to easily upload your electric field generator data from the comfort of your home. This means Novocure^® can collect data more frequently to better support you.

Your device support specialist (DSS) can view your secure data remotely. Then your DSS can inform you about your device usage.
