Antiphospholipid antibodies (APLAs) are proteins that may be present in the blood
and may increase your risk for blood clots or pregnancy losses. If you have a history
of blood clots or recurrent pregnancy losses, you may have been tested for the presence
of APLAs in your blood.

Antiphospholipid syndrome occurs when the immune system mistakenly produces antibodies
that make blood much more likely to clot. Antibodies usually protect the body against
invaders, such as viruses and bacteria. Antiphospholipid syndrome can be caused 
by an underlying condition, such as an autoimmune disorder.

Signs and symptoms of antiphospholipid syndrome can include:

 * Blood clots in legs (DVT). Signs of a DVT include pain, swelling and redness.

 * Repeated miscarriages or stillbirths.

 * Stroke.

 * Transient ischemic attack (TIA).

 * Rash.

A blood test can also be used to check for the existence of APLAs by assessing the
effect of the antibodies on the coagulation mechanism. That blood duty necessitates
first and foremost a thorough vein detection. Only a highly competent and precise
vein detector can provide an accurate diagnosis.

Our technical medical team was well aware of this urgent medical need and has designed,
on that basis, the following vein detector : [Portable Vein Detector SIFVEIN-5.2](https://sifsof.com/product/medical-vein-finder-sifvein-5-2/).

The main purpose of this infrared vein finder is to locate veins quickly and simply.
To clarify how it works, this portable vein finder is designed to allow oxyhemoglobin
in surrounding tissues and veins to absorb light. After that, the data is filtered
to display veins on the screen after photoelectric conversion and image processing.

.Above all, this portable vein finder has a novel optical structural design. This
will allow the original position projection to be realized and the vein recognition
rate to improve. It’s also worth noting that the following vein viewer employs a
brand-new image enhancing method. As a result, it will undoubtedly provide a clearer
totally digital vein image resolution with a display mode.

Furthermore, regardless of the patient’s age, skin color, or obesity level, the 
infrared vein finder SIFVEIN-5.2 allows veins to be seen clearly in a depth of 10
mm beneath the skin. This vein viewer contains a depth recognition option that improves
vein depth judging by using three different hues (red, green, and white) that may
be altered at any time, all depending on the scanning room light and on the patient’s
skin tone as well.

All of these advanced features should aid doctors in their goal to determine whether
or not there is a problem with the blood vessels. As a result, any potential diagnosis
failure, as well as APLAs patient’s dread, tension, and anguish, will be eradicated.

One of SIFSOF’s most popular and effective gadgets is the SIFVEIN-5.2. When performing
difficult IV procedures on patients with APLAs, this vein viewer has shown to be
extremely effective. As a result, if medical personnel and patients want an accurate
diagnosis that leads to a successful treatment and a quick recovery, the infrared
vein finder SIFVEIN-5.2 should be their first and final choice.
