12 Cleaning and Disinfecting MolecuLight i i :X
Clean and disinfect MolecuLight i:X before and after it is used and between wound assessment procedures. Failure to do so
may result in cross-contamination, and patient or user exposure to bacterial contamination. MolecuLight recommends
using CaviWipes as disinfecting wipes for cleaning and disinfecting (See Table 7 for ordering information).
The MolecuLight DarkDrape is for single use only and must not be used more than once. The MolecuLight Adapter can be
reused after being appropriately cleaned and disinfected.
Warning Do not reuse the MolecuLight DarkDrape. It is a single use only accessory.
12.1 Pre-Clean the MolecuLight i:X
Wear impervious gloves such as latex gloves when handling disinfecting wipes. Use a disinfecting wipe (CaviWipe) to
remove all debris from the MolecuLight i:X by gently wiping ALL SIDES and surfaces (see Figure 2), including the Display
Screen and optical components identified within the red perimeters in Figure 26.
12.2 Disinfect the MolecuLight i:X
Use another disinfecting wipe (CaviWipe) to thoroughly wet ALL SIDES and surfaces (see Figure 2) of the MolecuLight i:X,
including the Display Screen and optical components identified within the red perimeters in Figure 26. Let the MolecuLight
i:X remain wet for 3 minutes at room temperature. Allow the MolecuLight i:X to dry.
12.3 Clean the MolecuLight i:X
Use a Lens Cleaning Towelette to thoroughly clean the Display Screen and optical components identified within the red
perimeters in Figure 26. There should be no visible debris, fingerprints or material on the Display Screen or any of the
optical components after cleaning. Allow the MolecuLight i:X to dry.
The MolecuLight i:X is now clean, disinfected and ready for use.

If the System Status LED turns to amber or red (green is the indication that the device is functioning as intended), you may
need to send the device to MolecuLight for servicing. Contact MolecuLight at [email protected].
Otherwise, except for regular cleaning (Section 12), there are no maintenance or calibration activities that need to be
performed.

About imaging bacteria:
3. How does the device detect bacteria?
The device illuminates wounds with a narrow band of violet light that causes bacteria commonly found in and
around wounds to fluoresce based on the presence of endogenous molecules called fluorophores (e.g.
porphyrins, pyoverdine, etc.). Refer to Section 4.2 for additional information.
4. Which type of bacteria can be detected?
Evidence from clinical studies indicates the MolecuLight i:X can reliably detect the following bacteria species
that are relevant for clinical wound care: Staphylocccus aureus, MRSA, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia
coli, Coagulase-negative staphylococci, Enterococcus spp, Proteus spp, Klebsiella pneumonia, Beta-hemolytic
streptococci (Group B) and Enterobacter spp.
