Irregular heartbeat detection: Yes
AFib detection or ECG: Yes
Method: Automatic oscillometric upper-arm blood pressure measurement during inflation; separate single-channel ECG stick. Exact BM 96 Cardio item 65801. Maker announcement dated 31 August 2021 does not establish the first retail date, which remains unconfirmed
Accuracy: Maker display accuracy ±3 mmHg for systolic and diastolic pressure and ±5% for pulse; systolic range 60–280 mmHg, diastolic 30–200 mmHg and pulse 30–199 beats/minute. Cuff-pressure range 0–300 mmHg is separate. ECG bandwidth 0.05–40 Hz and sample rate 500 Hz
Clinical validation: Independently published exact-device blood pressure validation not established; Medaval reports no peer-reviewed validation information for this technology, so headline validation flag omitted
Features: AFib detection, irregular-heartbeat warning, cuff-fit check, two measurement reminders, coloured classification scale and HSD haemodynamic resting indicator. ECG recordings can be 30, 60, 90 or 120 seconds; status indications include OK, AFib, heart rate below 60 bpm or above 100 bpm. Chest/finger methods approximate leads II or III; hand-to-hand method approximates lead I and has lower stability. These are alternative single-channel positions, not simultaneous three-lead recording; the maker's doctor annex excludes full clinical or emergency diagnosis

Cuff fits: 22–42 cm
Cuff: Upper-arm cuff for 22–42 cm circumference; correct cuff placement and resting conditions are still required

Users: 2
Readings stored: 60 per user
Bluetooth and app: Yes
Memory: Two users with up to 60 dated blood pressure readings each; oldest overwritten when full. Averages of all stored readings and morning/evening readings over the latest seven days. ECG memory holds up to 60 recordings per user at 30 seconds; longer recordings can reduce capacity. Deleting memory clears the selected user history
App: Bluetooth Low Energy transfer to beurer HealthManager Pro. The maker's October 2022 datasheet also specifies web software and USB uploader; these are separate from Bluetooth transfer.
