Evaluation of MolecuLight i:X as an Adjunctive Fluorescence Imaging Tool to Clinical Signs and Symptoms for the Identification of Bacteria-containing Wounds
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This is a non-randomized evaluation for which 160 adult patients will be imaged at outpatient wound care clinics who present with a wound of unknown infection diagnostic status and are receiving standard treatment. The MolecuLight i:X Imaging Device will be used as an adjunctive tool in the assessment of the wound and may be used to guide the targeted sampling of a wound (using a conventional punch biopsy method).

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Diagnostic accuracy of identifying wounds with moderate/heavy bacterial load as measured by sensitivity and specificity. [1 year]
Superiority in sensitivity of clinical signs and symptoms (CSS) and fluorescence imaging using MolecuLight i:X (CSS + i:X) vs. CSS alone to identify wounds with moderate/heavy bacterial load Non-Inferiority of specificity of CSS and fluorescence imaging using MolecuLight i:X (CSS + i:X) vs. CSS alone with region of indifference of 10% to identify wounds with moderate/heavy bacterial load
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Estimation of sensitivity and specificity of MolecuLight i:X alone [1.5 years]
