Measuring

Type: Upper arm
Clinically validated: Yes
Irregular heartbeat detection: Yes
AFib detection or ECG: Yes
Method: Oscillometric upper-arm measurement during deflation, with Gentle+ pressure control. Side switch selects standard single measurement or AFIB/MAM mode; three automatic measurements with 15-second pauses are analysed into one displayed result. Individual readings are not displayed; a fourth measurement is taken if one is questionable. First actual on-sale date unresolved
Accuracy: Exact S-V9 manual gives blood pressure 20–280 mmHg, pulse 40–200 bpm, static pressure ±3 mmHg and pulse ±5%. Current global support instead separates systolic 60–255 and diastolic 40–200 mmHg. Slovenian page's 20–80 blood-pressure line conflicts with both and is not used. Cuff-pressure display 0–299 is separate
Clinical validation: STRIDE BP lists equivalence to BP A100, adult and diabetes populations, and 22–42 and 32–52 cm cuffs. Headline reflects registry acceptance by equivalence, not an exact-model validation study. Broad maker special-population and AFib performance claims are not treated as independently established exact-model trials
Features: AFib indication is active only in AFIB/MAM mode, not the standard single-measurement mode. It is a screening indication rather than ECG recording or diagnosis. Cuff-fit and arm-movement indicators, classification scale, low-battery warning and automatic switch-off after approximately one minute

Cuff

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

Connections and memory

Readings stored: 1
Bluetooth and app: No
Memory: Original BP A150 AFIB S-V9 guide stores the last result only; recall by holding ON/OFF while switched off until the stored result and M appear. Slovenian product table instead lists 30 places, and global support's other manual filename refers to A150-30 AFIB. The separately named A150-30 model's history is not transferred to this original record. No clock or user-selection operation established
Power: Four 1.5 V AA alkaline cells; approximately 920 measurements with new batteries in S-V9 guide, with no separate AFIB/MAM-cycle count stated. Optional DC 6 V, 600 mA Microlife adapter stops battery-current consumption when connected. NiMH cells require external charging. Slovenian AAA line conflicts with exact manual and its own four-AA bundle

Design

Display details: LCD with ON/OFF control and side 1/3 AFIB/MAM switch; no separate M-button in original S-V9 hardware diagram. IP20
Size: 152 × 92 × 42 mm; 393 g including batteries, corroborated by exact manual and maker support
In the box: Slovenian maker lists storage bag, four AA alkaline cells, blood-pressure diary and M-L 22–42 cm cuff. Adapter optional. Product link is Slovenian maker page; support and exact original manual include English
