- Method
- Automatic oscillometric upper-arm measurement; HEM-7196-FLE, distinct from older M3 Comfort HEM-7155-E. 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 approves HEM-7196-FLE as equivalent to Omron BP760N (HEM-7320-Z), listing adults, diabetes and pregnancy/preeclampsia with a 22–42 cm cuff; equivalent-device approval is distinct from direct testing of this model or validation of its AFib algorithm
