AFib detection or ECG
Yes
Method
Oscillometric upper-arm measurement during deflation with Gentle+ pressure control. Side switch selects single measurement or AFIB/MAM mode; three measurements with 15-second pauses produce one analysed result. Individual results are not displayed; a fourth measurement is taken if one is questionable. First actual on-sale date unresolved
Accuracy
Current E-V10 July 2025 guide gives systolic 60–255 mmHg, diastolic 40–200 mmHg, pulse 40–199 bpm, static accuracy ±3 mmHg and pulse accuracy ±5%. France page instead gives blood pressure 20–280 mmHg and pulse 40–200 bpm; global support also gives pulse 40–200. These range differences remain explicit. Cuff-pressure display 0–299 mmHg is separate
Clinical validation
STRIDE BP accepts equivalence to BP A100 for adult and diabetes populations, with 22–42 and 32–52 cm cuffs. Headline reflects registry acceptance by equivalence, not a separate exact-model validation trial. Broad maker population and AFib accuracy claims are not treated as exact-model independent studies
Features
AFib screening only operates in AFIB/MAM mode, not standard single measurements. It is not an ECG recording or diagnosis. Cuff-fit and arm-movement indicators, coloured classification scale, low-battery warning and automatic switch-off after approximately one minute

Cuff

Cuff fits
22–42 cm
Cuff
France maker bundle supplies soft conical M-L 22–42 cm cuff. Guide lists optional S 17–22, M 22–32, L 32–42 and L-XL 32–52 cm sizes and preformed cuffs; these are not all supplied

Connections and memory

Readings stored
30
Bluetooth and app
No
Memory
Automatically stores the last 30 readings with date and time; oldest overwritten when full. Separate M-button recalls previous readings and clears all history. Individual stored readings cannot be cleared, though a newly displayed result can be excluded before storage. History survives battery replacement but clock must be reset. This is the separately named 30-memory model, not the original A150 AFIB S-V9 last-result-only version
Power
Four 1.5 V AA alkaline cells; approximately 920 measurements with new batteries, with no separate AFIB/MAM-cycle count stated. Optional Microlife DC 6 V, 600 mA adapter stops battery-current use when connected. NiMH cells supported but require external charging

Design

Display details
LCD with date/time, M-memory and ON/OFF buttons, side time control and 1/3 AFIB/MAM switch. IP20. Current guide cover abbreviates the name to BP A150 AFIB; exact official A150-30 download, M/time controls and 30-reading operation establish its applicability
Size
152 × 92 × 42 mm; 393 g including batteries in current exact guide and maker pages
In the box
France maker lists cloth storage bag, four AA alkaline cells, blood-pressure diary and soft M-L 22–42 cm cuff. Adapter optional. Product resource is French regional maker page; global support and current multilingual guide include English
