Blood Flow Analyzer (BFA)

Detects early stages of vessel disorders and the best tool for prevention of several diseases like diabetes and blood vessel complications.

Blood Flow Analyzer is a fundamental element to achieve at least two goals in the evaluation of patients presenting with symptoms of cold hands: 1) differential diagnosis between primary and secondary Raynaud’s phenomenon; and 2) early diagnosis of SSc. Further, capillaroscopic analysis can provide valuable information to help assess disease prognosis and evaluate the response to therapy in patients with SSc. From its beginning, capillaroscopy has represented a unique imaging tool that is simple, objective, totally safe (it is a microscope) and can help rheumatologists both document and understand the complex vascular phenomena. As recent study results show, the promise of capillaroscopy remains great, with its continued use to study patients with SSc hopefully providing new insights into one of the most serious and confusing diseases in all of medicine. Capillaroscopy also may facilitate much-needed advances in treatment.
