Method
Automatic oscillometric upper-arm measurement; HEM-7360-E, distinct from M6 Comfort AFib HEM-7380-E and earlier M6 Comfort revisions. 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
Maker manual states an 85-subject investigation under EN ISO 81060-2:2014 and compliance with 2019+A1:2020, plus pregnancy/preeclampsia and type II diabetes validation. Medaval attributes BIHS/STRIDE recommendations to BP760N HEM-7320-Z equivalence, but notes that the unpublished assessment cannot be verified against MDR requirements; blood-pressure validation does not establish diagnostic accuracy of rhythm indicators
Features
Selectable AFib mode takes three consecutive measurements at 30-second intervals and displays their average with a possible-AFib indicator. This is pulse-wave screening, not ECG recording or diagnosis; unlike the newer HEM-7380-E, screening is not automatic in every single reading. Exact manual and maker headline confirm the mode despite the web table's AFib No entry. Cuff-wrap, movement, irregular-heartbeat and high-pressure indicators
