Placing The INE Transducer Arrays On Your
Head
After you prepare your scalp (Section 9), put the INE Transducer arrays on your head
with the help of a doctor or caregiver if needed. Twice a week, remove the INE
Transducer arrays, prepare the scalp (as outlined in Section 13) and put on a new set
of INE Transducer arrays. You will know it is time to change INE 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 INE Transducer arrays
from making good contact with your scalp.
To place the INE 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 INE Transducer arrays, ignore the first step (removal).
Remove the INE Transducer arrays from your head by peeling the medical tape away
from your scalp.
In the Treatment Kit, there are INE Transducer arrays having two colors of connectors
– black and white.
Note which color INE Transducer array goes where on your head. The INE Transducer
array locations and colors are: front & back (black), right & left (white).
Prepare your skin for the INE Transducer arrays, as described in Section 4.
Peel off the white layer (liner) covering the gel from the first INE Transducer array.
NOTICE: make sure there is no transparent cover with blue lines over the gel! In case
there is, carefully remove before proceeding.
If this is the first time you have used the INE Transducer arrays, put the INE
Transducer arrays on your head as shown in the INE Transducer array placement
diagram that your doctor gave you.
Placement is based on the location of your tumor. When changing the INE Transducer
arrays, place the INE Transducer arrays on your head in the same general location as
before, but shift the INE Transducer arrays about 2cm in the direction of the arrow on
your INE Transducer array placement diagram.
To reduce skin irritation under the INE Transducer arrays, move the INE Transducer
arrays a small amount. Place the other three INE Transducer arrays in the same way.
Pull the tabs on each side of the INE Transducer arrays and press them firmly to your
scalp. Press the entire edge of the INE Transducer array tape to your scalp.
