- 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
