- Irregular heartbeat detection
- Yes
- AFib detection or ECG
- Yes
- Method
- Oscillometric upper-arm measurement during deflation with Gentle+ control. Side switch selects single measurement or AFIB/MAM triple mode; three readings separated by 15 seconds produce one analysed result. Questionable reading triggers a fourth; individual triple results are not displayed. Actual first retail sale unresolved
- Accuracy
- Exact French-linked non-Bluetooth S-V10-1 guide gives blood pressure 20–280 mmHg and pulse 40–200 bpm; 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
- STRIDE BP accepts exact A7 Touch for adult and diabetic home use by equivalence to BP A100, with referenced 2009, 2018 and 2021 studies. This is not an independent exact-model trial for every special population claimed by maker. Registry's dual-arm feature does not establish two simultaneous cuff inputs on this single-socket device
- Features
- AFib pulse-irregularity screening active only in AFIB/MAM triple mode; no ECG recording or ECG-confirmed diagnosis. Cuff-fit and arm-movement indications, pressure classification scale, low-battery warning and automatic switch-off after approximately one minute
Cuff
- Cuff fits
- 22–42 cm
- Cuff
- French maker supplies preformed M-L 22–42 cm cuff. Guide lists optional S 17–22, M 22–32, M-L 22–42, L 32–42 and L-XL 32–52 cm; those are not all supplied. STRIDE lists validated 22–42 and 32–52 cm sizes
Connections and memory
- Users
- 2
- Readings stored
- 99 per user
- Bluetooth and app
- No
- Memory
- Touch user selection chooses user 1, user 2 or guest mode, whose readings are not stored. Two dated histories of 99 readings each; first recall shows an average, whose interval is not specified in exact guide. Oldest overwritten when full; complete selected-user history can be cleared, individual saved readings cannot. Newly displayed reading can be excluded. Readings survive battery replacement while clock needs reset
- App
- USB Mini-B five-pin cable transfers stored readings to Microlife Blood Pressure Analyzer+ PC software. No Bluetooth function in exact non-Bluetooth controls or guide. Separate A7 Touch BT is a different existing model; global A7 Touch support page now links BT manuals, which are not used for this record
- Power
- French exact guide and product list four 1.5 V AAA alkaline cells and approximately 400 measurements with new batteries; global support instead says AA. Regional source conflict retained, not borrowed from A7 Touch BT. Microlife DC 6 V, 600 mA adapter optional in guide while French bundle includes it. NiMH cells supported with external charging; no internal charging
Design
- Display details
- Touch display with date/time, memory, start and user-selection controls, separate forward/backward and enter controls. Lock switch prevents accidental activation; side single/triple switch, cuff, USB and DC sockets. IP20
- Size
- French non-Bluetooth S-V10-1 guide and product page give 160 × 82 × 35 mm and 312 g including batteries. Global non-Bluetooth support instead gives 157.5 × 105 × 61.5 mm and 415 g including batteries; conflicting regional figures retained without assuming they describe an unannounced revision
- In the box
- French maker lists preformed M-L 22–42 cm cuff, USB cable, four AAA alkaline cells, adapter, large textile storage bag and blood-pressure diary. Guide calls adapter optional; regional bundle differences remain qualified
