Method
Automatic oscillometric wrist measurement during deflation. Exact UK item 65046, EAN 4211125650469; SK2 voice-language version. First-sale date unconfirmed
Accuracy
Exact manual display accuracy ±3 mmHg for systolic and diastolic pressure and ±5% for pulse. Systolic range 60–260 mmHg, diastolic 40–199 mmHg and pulse 40–180 beats/minute; cuff-pressure range 0–300 mmHg is separate
Clinical validation
Exact manual gives an unspecified clinical-test maximum permissible standard deviation of 8 mmHg, without identifying a published study. Medaval reports no peer-reviewed clinical validation information for BC 21, but incorrectly labels its measurement site upper arm; exact maker manual establishes wrist measurement.
