Release date not published

An upper-arm blood pressure monitor with atrial fibrillation and premature contraction indication, two user memories and a non-storing guest mode.

Specifications

Type: Upper arm
Clinically validated: Yes
Irregular heartbeat detection: Yes
AFib detection or ECG: Yes
Method: Automatic oscillometric upper-arm measurement during deflation for adults; maker manual gives 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 X5 as equivalent to Rossmax CF175, whose adult validation study used ESH-IP 2010 and was published in 2015; approved equivalence is not a direct X5 validation study. Its listing also mentions Bluetooth, whereas this exact non-Bluetooth X5 maker page/manual uses an optional wired PC link
Features: PARR distinguishes pulse arrhythmia, atrial fibrillation and premature contractions; loose-cuff and body-movement indications, hypertension risk scale and guest mode. AFib indication is not an ECG recording; the manual notes that detection is limited and a pacemaker may impair it

Cuff fits: 24–40 cm
Cuff: Latex-free Universal Cone Cuff with cuff holder; other sizes are available on request

Users: 2
Readings stored: 60 per user
Bluetooth and app: No
Memory: 60 readings per user, 120 total, with date and time; averages of the last three readings and morning/evening readings over the previous seven days. Guest readings are not stored; oldest stored reading is replaced when a user's memory is full
App: No Bluetooth; optional specially designed USB cable connects the data-link socket to Rossmax BP Manager PC software. Rossmax now states BP Manager PC software is discontinued and no longer available; the monitor remains usable independently
Power: Four AAA batteries, DC 6 V; optional DC 6 V adaptor rated at least 600 mA. Automatic shutdown one minute after the last key operation

Display details: 69 × 78 mm LCD showing systolic and diastolic pressure, pulse, date/time, user memory, cuff and movement indicators
Size: 96 × 139.7 × 63.2 mm (L × W × H); maker weight 248.6 g without batteries; IP21
In the box: Monitor, latex-free Universal Cone Cuff, batteries, instruction manual and zipper bag; adaptor and PC link are optional
