About OPTUNE
OPTUNE is the alternating electric fields delivery system1
What is OPTUNE ?
OPTUNE generates low-intensity, intermediate frequency, alternating electric fields. These electric fields are delivered to the brain through transducer arrays that are placed on the scalp.4
OPTUNE is comprised of two main components, an electric field generator, and transducer arrays.4


The OPTUNE system


OPTUNE does not need regular maintenance or have any settings for you to change.
You should use OPTUNE for as many hours per day as possible, and only take short breaks for personal needs.4
How does OPTUNE work?
The alternating electric fields generated by OPTUNE are tuned to a particular frequency, specific to the cell type being treated. With OPTUNE, alternating electric fields are generated at 200kHz.4
The alternating electric fields will interfere with the way a cell divides, thereby slowing or stopping cell division and leading to death of the cell.5
Currently, the alternating electric fields have not been shown to have any effect on cells that are not undergoing division. As normal brain cells in adults divide and multiply very slowly, they are hypothesized to be little affected by the alternating electric fields.5
