Method
Automatic oscillometric upper-arm measurement; HEM-7155-E, distinct from M3 HEM-7154-E and M3 Comfort AFib HEM-7196-FLE. First on-sale date not established
Accuracy
Maker's pressure accuracy ±3 mmHg and pulse accuracy ±5% of displayed reading; systolic range 60–260 mmHg, diastolic 40–215 mmHg and pulse 40–180 beats/minute
Clinical validation
STRIDE BP lists this exact model for adults, diabetes and pregnancy/preeclampsia through approved equivalence to BP760N HEM-7320-Z, rather than three published exact-model trials. Medaval separately notes that the equivalence assessment is unpublished and its MDR compliance cannot be verified; rhythm indicators do not establish diagnostic accuracy
Features
Irregular-heartbeat, movement, cuff-wrap and high-blood-pressure indicators. Manual supports an average of the latest two or three readings within ten minutes, despite web-table averaging and high-pressure indicators being marked absent. No automatic consecutive three-reading mode, AFib screening or ECG recording
