Measuring

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 control. January 2024 exact manual describes pumping followed by gradual pressure reduction; no automatic multi-measurement mode. First actual on-sale date unresolved
Accuracy: January 2024 E-V10 manual gives systolic 60–255 mmHg, diastolic 40–200 mmHg and pulse 40–199 bpm; static pressure ±3 mmHg and pulse ±5%. Hungarian maker page instead gives blood pressure 20–280 mmHg and pulse 40–200 bpm; global support gives separate systolic/diastolic ranges but pulse 40–200. Cuff-pressure display 0–299 is separate
Clinical validation: STRIDE BP lists A2 Classic as equivalent to BP A100, for adults and diabetes with 22–42 and 32–52 cm cuffs. Headline reflects registry acceptance by equivalence, not a separate exact-model trial. Exact manual cites BP 3BT0-A technology; broad manufacturer special-population claims are not assigned as independently established exact-model trials
Features: Ordinary irregular-heartbeat indication, threshold classification scale with 140/90 mark, low-battery indicator and automatic switch-off after approximately one minute. No dedicated AFib screening or app

Cuff

Cuff fits: 22–42 cm
Cuff: Supplied conical M-L cuff fits 22–42 cm in European and Thai maker pages. Manual separately lists optional S 17–22, M 22–32, L 32–42 and L-XL 32–52 cm; these are not all supplied

Connections and memory

Readings stored: 30
Bluetooth and app: No
Memory: Last 30 readings stored, with average displayed first on memory recall followed by individual values. Oldest overwritten when full; newly displayed reading can be excluded and stored history clears together. No clock-setting control, dated-reading recall or user-selector operation established. Hungarian page's translated 30-day wording is not used as a storage-duration claim
Power: Four 1.5 V AA alkaline cells, approximately 920 measurements with new batteries in January 2024 manual. Microlife DC 6 V, 600 mA adapter supported through dedicated socket; no battery current consumed when connected. NiMH cells supported with external charging, not charging inside the monitor

Design

Display details: LCD with ON/OFF and memory buttons, cuff and mains-adapter sockets; no time button. IP20 in January 2024 manual
Size: 120 × 87 × 59 mm; 375 g including batteries in exact global support, European maker page and manual
In the box: European maker lists four AA alkaline cells, blood-pressure diary and M-L 22–42 cm cuff, with adapter optional. Thai regional bundle also includes textile storage bag, instructions and DC6V600mA adapter; this does not establish adapter inclusion in every region. Product link is Hungarian maker page; support and linked manual include English
