About OPTUNE GIO
OPTUNE GIO is the alternating electric fields delivery system1
What is OPTUNE GIO ?
OPTUNE GIO 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 GIO is comprised of two main components, an electric field generator, and transducer arrays.4
The OPTUNE GIO system
OPTUNE GIO does not need regular maintenance or have any settings for you to change.
You should use OPTUNE GIO for as many hours per day as possible, and only take short breaks for personal needs.4
How does OPTUNE GIO work?
The alternating electric fields generated by OPTUNE GIO are tuned to a particular frequency, specific to the cell type being treated. With OPTUNE GIO, 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
