- Method
- Automatic oscillometric upper-arm measurement; HEM-7196T1-FLE. First retail release date has not been established; the manual's December 2024 revision is not an on-sale date
- 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 this exact hardware code as equivalent to Omron BP760N (HEM-7320-Z), with adults, diabetes and pregnancy/preeclampsia listed; equivalent-device approval is distinct from a direct test of this model or validation of its AFib algorithm
- Features
- Pulse-wave screening for possible AFib, rather than an ECG or diagnosis; irregular heartbeat, body movement and cuff-wrap indicators. The exact manual describes three consecutive readings at 30-second intervals with their average; this conflicts with the UK page's averaging-function No table entry
Cuff
- Cuff fits
- 22–42 cm
- Cuff
- HEM-FL31 preformed Intelli Wrap Cuff; approximately 145 × 532 mm, 750 mm air tube and 163 g
