Once the patient is in the operatory,  document patient authorization by putting the signed Patient Consent/Waiver Form (provided) in chart. Download the Patient Waiver/ Consent Form with Mouth Map 2. CONDUCT ROUTINE EXAM of the oral cavity, noting the presence of any lesions. 3. HAVE PATIENT RINSE with ViziLite Pre-Rinse solution (1% acetic acid) for 30-60 seconds. 4. BEND FLEXIBLE outer light stick, breaking brittle inner vial. 5. SHAKE VIGOROUSLY to mix contents of light stick. Insert light stick into open end of retractor and assemble. 6. DIM LIGHTS IN ROOM or shade subject as much as possible. If you are unable to dim the room lighting, you can use eye wear provided by ViziLite Plus to facilitate the examination. 7. RE-EXAMINE the oral cavity using ViziLite device. The open retractor window should face the tissue being examined. 8. LOOK FOR AND DOCUMENT any abnormalities you see on the mouth map located on the back of the patient consent form. Apply the TBlue marking system to lesions visible under ViziLite illumination. Swabs should be applied in sequential order. The swab tubes are individually labeled 1, 2, and 3. 9. LESIONS STAINED WITH TBLUE can be viewed clearly even without the ViziLite device. You can now take an intra-oral photograph for inclusion in the patient record, submission to the patient’s insurance carrier, or for referral to a specialist. 10. Discard all components.
