Measuring

Type
Upper arm
Irregular heartbeat detection
Yes
AFib detection or ECG
No
Method
Oscillometric upper-arm measurement during deflation. One automatic measurement started with ON/OFF button; no MAM triple-mode selector in exact guide. Actual first retail sale unresolved
Accuracy
Exact March 2023 guide gives blood pressure 20–280 mmHg and pulse 40–200 bpm; current global support instead lists systolic 60–255 and diastolic 40–200 mmHg. Static pressure accuracy ±3 mmHg and pulse accuracy ±5%; cuff-pressure display 0–299 mmHg is separate
Clinical validation
Exact guide claims shared measurement technology with BP 3BTO-A tested under BIHS protocol. Independent exact BP 3AG1 validation was not recovered in the bounded registry search, so headline validation is omitted. Broad special-population wording in maker guide is not promoted to independently established exact-model validation
Features
Generic irregular-heartbeat indication, not AFib-specific screening or ECG recording. Low-battery warning, pulse indicator and automatic switch-off after approximately one minute. No date/time controls or automatic averaging mode in exact guide
