Images appear immediately. ST-images and FL-images are captured instantly from a wound and displayed in
real-time on the device's Display Screen and when the 'CAPTURE IMAGE' button is pressed.
6. How can I access the images/videos?
Images/Videos are located in the Camera Roll and Albums. Refer to Section 9.4 for additional information.
You can transfer these images/videos from your device to any computer using the white connecting cable on
the MolecuLight Power Cable (P/N 1142). Refer to Section 9.9 for instructions.
About operating the MolecuLight i:X:
7. Does the device require any consumables to obtain FL-Images?
Consumables are not required for operation of the device in optimal lighting conditions.
If you are unable to obtain optimal ambient light for Fluorescence Imaging Mode, MolecuLight recommends
using MolecuLight DarkDrape (used in conjunction with MolecuLight Adapter). For more information, refer to
Section 4.3, or contact MolecuLight at
[email protected] or +1-647-362-4684 or 1-877-818-4360 (North
America Only).
8. Who is qualified to use the device?
Trained health care professionals in wound care.
9. How do I clean the device?
The MolecuLight i:X can be wiped clean using disinfecting wipes. Ensure excess fluid from the wipes does not
enter any openings and that the device is thoroughly dry before use. A lens towelette to clean the optical
components and Display Screen should also be used. For further information, please see Sections 3 and 12.
10. How do I take care of the device?
MolecuLight i:X is an optical imaging device and must be handled with care at all times.
i. Do not drop, knock or shake the device. Ensure there is no dirt, moisture or scratches over the camera
sensor window, LEDs and Display Screen.
ii. Do not immerse the device in liquid.
iii. Place the MolecuLight i:X with its screen facing up on a clean, dry, flat surface when not in use.
11. Is the device safe with laser light exposure and violet light illumination?
Yes, the device is classified in Risk Group 1 and the laser is Class 1 meaning there is not sufficient energy
produced to damage skin or eyes in normal use. It is advised to not point the device towards the eyes.
12. How do I turn on the device?
There are 2 dark gray power buttons to turn the device on. Press and hold each for 3 seconds to turn on the
device and the Display Screen respectively.
13. Why is the Display Screen off?
The Display Screen is turned on via the Display Screen Power Button. Push this button to turn on the Display
Screen. If it does not turn on, the Display Screen battery may need to be charged via the charging port located
below the Home Button using the white connecting cable on the MolecuLight Power Cable (P/N 1142).
The Display Screen could also be locked. Press and release the Display Screen Power Button or the Home Button
to reveal the screen.
14. Why can't I see red fluorescence on the screen?
There may not be any red fluorescence signal generated by the target you are imaging.
Ensure that the System Status LED is green, which indicates that the device optics and electronics are
The Rocker Switch may be set to imaging in Standard Imaging Mode.
15. What is the System Status LED?
This LED informs you that the device electronics and optics are functioning as designed. This LED should be
green. If the color changes to amber or red, contact MolecuLight as soon as possible. Refer to Section 6.1.1.1.
16. What does the Battery Status LED indicate?
TM
MolecuLight i:X
User Manual Revision 1.0
This LED indicates the battery power of the device (for the optics and electronics) and is green when the charge
is >80%. Note that there is also a battery status for the Display Screen itself in the top right corner of the screen
that is independent of the device.
17. What does the Range Finder LED indicate?
The Range Finder notifies you when the optimal distance between the device and the wound is reached, i.e. 8-
12 cm. This is critical to follow in FL-Mode and it is also advised to observe the Range Finder LED when in ST-
Mode so that the images obtained will have a similar field of view.
18. How do I check if the Range Finder is working properly?
You can use a ruler at various distances from the device to verify the Range Finder LED Status. At a 5 cm
distance, the LED should be amber, at 10 cm, the LED should turn green and at 15 cm the LED should turn
amber again. If the results are incorrect, do not use the device and contact MolecuLight at
19. What does the Ambient Light Status LED indicate?
For optimal image quality in FL-Mode, it is important that the lighting conditions are in a dark environment. The
Ambient Light Status LED will notify you when conditions are optimal (the LED will be green).
20. How do I check if the Ambient Light Status LED is working?
The Ambient Light Status LED should be amber in a bright environment and turn green in a dark environment.
Make sure all lighting is off in order for the LED to turn green. If you have any questions, contact MolecuLight at
21. The Ambient Light Status LED turns off when the device is in FL-Mode. Is this intended?
Yes, this is the normal operation. The ambient light sensor which is used to measure the ambient light
conditions is also sensitive to the light emitted from the device during FL-Mode operation, therefore the
indicator LED turns off in this mode to ensure it does not provide a false reading. The lighting conditions should
be adjusted such that the Ambient Light Status LED is green prior to using FL-Mode.
If you are unable to obtain optimal ambient light for FL-Mode, MolecuLight recommends using MolecuLight
DarkDrape (used in conjunction with MolecuLight Adapter). For more information, refer to Section 4.3, or
contact MolecuLight at
[email protected] or +1-647-362-4684 or 1-877-818-4360 (North America Only).
22. How do I know that my Device is working properly?
The System Status LED indicates the functionality of the electronics and optics of the device. This LED is green
when the device is turned on and operating properly. If it is amber or red, contact MolecuLight at
23. How long does it take to charge the device?
The device charges to approximately 80% of its total capacity after 2 hours of charging and will be fully charged
after approximately 5 hours.
About operating the wound measurement app:
24. Why do I need to use the MolecuLight WoundStickers?
In the absence of MolecuLight WoundStickers, no area measurement is provided. The use of 2 MolecuLight
WoundSticker may produce an average wound measurement (area and/or dimension) error of 5%, when the
image is taken with MolecuLight WoundStickers in the plane of the wound. The use of only 1 MolecuLight
WoundSticker may produce an average wound measurement (area and/or dimension) error of 15%.
