Accuracy
Maker pressure accuracy ±3 mmHg and pulse accuracy ±5% of displayed reading; blood-pressure range 20–280 mmHg, pulse 40–180 beats/minute and cuff pressure 0–299 mmHg
Clinical validation
STRIDE BP approves the exact model for adult home use by equivalence to HEM-7130, whose referenced study used ESH-IP 2010 and was published in 2015; this is not a separately published exact-model trial. Medaval separately says the equivalence results are unpublished and cannot be verified for its MDR assessment. Maker manual cites an 85-subject EN ISO 81060-2:2014 investigation and compliance with 2019+A1:2020, excluding pregnant and pre-eclamptic patients
Features
Irregular-heartbeat and cuff-wrap indicators; no body-movement, high-blood-pressure or averaging feature in the exact maker table. No AFib screening or ECG recording; generic BPM & ECG category wording does not establish an ECG feature
