Measuring

Type
Upper arm
Irregular heartbeat detection
Yes
AFib detection or ECG
Yes
Method
Automatic oscillometric upper-arm measurement during deflation with semiconductor pressure sensor. First-sale date unresolved
Accuracy
Pressure 30–260 mmHg; pulse 40–199 bpm. Maker accuracy ±3 mmHg pressure and ±5% pulse
Clinical validation
Maker flyer carries ESH/BIHS claims. Medaval's exact X5 BT entry says validation checking remains unresolved; headline validation omitted rather than transferring a non-Bluetooth X5 study
Features
Pulse-arrhythmia screening distinguishes AFib and premature beats, including combined findings. Not an ECG. Cuff-fit, movement and hypertension risk indicators; non-storing guest mode. Generic PARR web text about tachycardia/bradycardia does not establish separate X5 BT detection icons
