Method
Automatic oscillometric upper-arm measurement during deflation for adults; exact maker manual specifies a pressure range of 30–260 mmHg and pulse range of 40–199 beats/minute. First on-sale date not established
Accuracy
Maker specifies pressure accuracy within ±3 mmHg and pulse accuracy within ±5% of the reading; these specifications are separate from clinical validation
Clinical validation
STRIDE BP lists the exact X3 model for adult home use through approved equivalence to Rossmax CF175, whose validation study used ESH-IP 2010 and was published in 2015; approved equivalence is not a direct X3 validation study
Features
Irregular heartbeat indication, loose-cuff and movement detection, hypertension risk scale, one-touch measurement and non-storing guest mode; inflation level is determined automatically. Irregular heartbeat indication does not identify AFib specifically
