Vein Finders and Atrial Fibrillation (AFib)

Afib stands for atrial fibrillation (AF), which is a type of arrhythmia, or abnormal heartbeat. Afib is caused by extremely fast and irregular beats from the upper chambers of the heart (usually more than 400 beats per minute). A normal, healthy heartbeat involves a regular contraction of the heart muscle.

Problems with the heart’s structure are the most common cause of atrial fibrillation. Possible causes of atrial fibrillation include:

·         Coronary artery disease

·         Heart attack

·         Heart defect that you’re born with (congenital heart defect)

·         Heart valve problems

·         High blood pressure

·         Lung diseases

·         Physical stress due to surgery, pneumonia or other illnesses

·         Previous heart surgery

·         Problem with the heart’s natural pacemaker (sick sinus syndrome)

·         Sleep apnea

·         Thyroid disease such as an overactive thyroid (hyperthyroidism) and other metabolic imbalances

·         Use of stimulants, including certain medications, caffeine, tobacco and alcohol

·         Viral infections

Those who do have atrial fibrillation symptoms may have signs and symptoms such as:

• Sensations of a fast, fluttering or pounding heartbeat (palpitations)

• Chest pain.

• Dizziness.

• Fatigue.

• Lightheadedness.

• Reduced ability to exercise.

• Shortness of breath.

• Weakness.

One of the possible ways to look for the presence of Atrial Fibrillation (AFib) is performing an ECG test, one type of blood test. This helps a doctor rule out thyroid problems or detect other substances in the blood that may lead to A-fib . Holter monitor. That blood test necessitates first and foremost a thorough vein detection. Only a highly professional 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. This infrared vein finder’s main function is to find veins easily and fastly.

To further explain the way it functions, this vein illumination is meant to allow the absorption of light by oxyhemoglobin in surrounding heart vessels. The information is then filtered to display the blood vessels on the screen after photoelectric conversion and image processing.

Most importantly, this portable vein finder uses a new type of optical structure design. That should realize the original position projection and improve the vein recognition rate.

It’s also worth noting that the following infrared vein finder uses a brand-new image enhancing algorithm. As a result, it will undoubtedly provide a clearer totally digital vein image resolution with a display mode.

Furthermore, this medical vein finder SIFVEIN-5.2 allows veins to be seen clearly at a depth of 10 mm beneath the skin, regardless of the patient’s age, skin color, or obesity level.That is, this vein viewer has a depth recognition mode that improves blood vessels’ depth judgment thanks to its three colors imaging (red, green, and white). 

It can also be switched at any time based on the light in the room and the patient’s skin tone, making the vein more visible, easier to access, and increasing clinical accuracy.

All these advanced features should facilitate doctors’ mission while they’re trying to understand whether there is an issue within the heart vessels or not. As a result, any possible failure in the diagnosis will be excluded.

The vein viewer SIFVEIN-5.2 has shown to be extremely effective when doing difficult IV operations in patients with Atrial Fibrillation (AFib). As a result, if medical personnel and patients want an accurate diagnosis that leads to a successful treatment and a quick recovery, the medical vein finder SIFVEIN-5.2 should be their first and final choice.
