Product links

Type: Upper arm
Clinically validated: Yes
Irregular heartbeat detection: Yes
AFib detection or ECG: No
Method: Automatic oscillometric upper-arm measurement during deflation, marketed as Gentle+ pressure and speed control. Exact operation describes pumping followed by gradual pressure reduction; no MAM sequence established despite copied MAM-button wording in some instructions. First on-sale date unresolved
Accuracy: July 2025 E-V10 manual gives systolic 60–255 mmHg, diastolic 40–200 mmHg and pulse 40–199 bpm; static pressure ±3 mmHg and pulse ±5%. UK product/support instead give blood pressure 20–280 mmHg and pulse 40–200 bpm; September 2023 S-V11 manual says pulse 20–200 despite its error table's 40 bpm threshold. Conflicting ranges qualified; cuff-pressure display 0–299 mmHg is separate
Clinical validation: STRIDE BP lists A2 Basic as an equivalent device to BP A100, for adults and diabetes with 22–42 and 32–52 cm cuffs. Headline indicates registry acceptance by equivalence, not a separate exact-model trial. Maker manual instead cites BP 3BT0-A technology; Medaval notes that the equivalence evidence does not establish MDR-compliant accuracy validation
Features: Ordinary IHB indication, traffic-light classification, cuff check, movement warning, low-battery indicator and automatic switch-off after approximately one minute. No dedicated AFib screening or app

Cuff fits: 22–42 cm
Cuff: Supplied conical M-L cuff fits 22–42 cm in UK maker product page. Manual lists optional S 17–22, M 22–32, L 32–42 and L-XL 32–52 cm; do not treat all optional sizes as supplied

Readings stored: 30
Bluetooth and app: No
Memory: Stores last 30 dated readings and first displays their average on recall, then individual results. Oldest overwritten when full. History retained on cell replacement while clock resets. Newly displayed reading can be excluded; stored history clears together. No user-selector operation established; manuals contain copied two-user wording, so headline user count remains omitted
Power: Four 1.5 V AA alkaline batteries, approximately 920 measurements with new cells in July 2025 manual. Optional Microlife DC 6 V, 600 mA mains adapter uses dedicated socket without drawing battery current. NiMH rechargeable cells supported but charged externally; no internal charging

Display details: LCD with ON/OFF, memory and time controls, cuff socket and adapter socket; IP20 in July 2025 manual
Size: UK product/support and July 2025 E-V10 manual agree on 135.5 × 82 × 57 mm and 340 g including batteries. September 2023 S-V11 instead says 157.5 × 105 × 61.5 mm and 415 g; those conflicting older figures are not assigned to the headline
In the box: Monitor, textile storage pouch, four AA alkaline cells, blood-pressure diary and M-L 22–42 cm cuff listed by UK maker page; mains adapter optional
