Method
Automatic oscillometric upper-arm measurement during deflation; technical model BPHJA2-B, reference BP B1 BT. Gentle+ optimises inflation pressure and deflation speed. First on-sale date unresolved
Accuracy
Static pressure accuracy ±3 mmHg and pulse ±5% of readout; systolic 60–255 mmHg, diastolic 40–200 mmHg and pulse 40–199 beats/minute. Cuff-pressure display 0–299 mmHg is separate
Clinical validation
Exact STRIDE BP listing approves equivalence to BP B3 AFIB, whose adult ISO 81060-2:2018 validation study was published in 2021; cuff 22–42 cm. This is approved equivalence rather than a separate exact-model trial. Manufacturer UK page also cites inherited BIHS A/A claim
Features
Ordinary irregular-heartbeat indication, cuff-fit check, arm-movement and cuff-pressure error warnings, three-level reading scale, low-battery indication and automatic switch-off after approximately one minute. No dedicated AFib algorithm or automatic triple-measurement sequence established by exact instructions

Memory

Wireless transfer starts after measurement or with Bluetooth/time button and switches off after two minutes without a connection. USB-C is a power input, not an established wired data connection
