Measuring

Type
Upper arm
Clinically validated
Yes
Irregular heartbeat detection
Yes
AFib detection or ECG
Yes
Method
Automatic oscillometric upper-arm measurement; HEM-7380-E, distinct from older M6 Comfort generations
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-7380-E as equivalent to Omron BP760N (HEM-7320-Z), whose blood-pressure studies cover adults, type 2 diabetes and pregnancy/preeclampsia; equivalent-device approval is distinct from a direct test of this exact monitor and from AFib algorithm validation
Features
Screens pulse waves for possible AFib during a routine measurement, rather than recording an ECG or making a diagnosis; irregular heartbeat, body movement and cuff-wrap indicators. TruRead averages three readings with a selectable interval; morning/evening weekly averages
