Important Safety Information and Indication

Who should not use Optune Lua?

  • An electrical implant. Use of Optune Lua together with electrical implants has not been tested and may cause the implanted device not to work properly
  • A known sensitivity to gels like the gel used on electrocardiogram (ECG) stickers or transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) electrodes. In this case, skin contact with the gel used with Optune Lua may commonly cause increased redness and itching, and rarely may even lead to severe allergies such as a fall in blood pressure and difficulty breathing

Do not use Optune Lua if you are pregnant or are planning to become pregnant. It is not known if Optune Lua is safe or effective during pregnancy.

  • Do not use any parts that did not come with Optune Lua Treatment Kit sent to you by Novocure or given to you by your doctor
  • Do not get the device or transducer arrays wet
  • Please be aware that Optune Lua has a cord that plugs into an electrical socket. Be careful of tripping when it's connected
