- 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

No dedicated AFib algorithm or automatic triple-measurement sequence established by exact instructions
