Measuring

Type
Upper arm
Irregular heartbeat detection
Yes
AFib detection or ECG
Yes
Method
Automatic oscillometric measurement or auscultatory mode using a separate stethoscope and marker button. Intended for adults at home and in clinical settings. First-sale date unresolved
Accuracy
Pressure 30–260 mmHg; pulse 40–199 bpm. Maker accuracy ±3 mmHg pressure and ±5% pulse
Clinical validation
Maker carries ESH/BIHS claims. Medaval's exact X9 BT entry says peer-reviewed validation evidence and protocol-compliant equivalence remain unproven; non-Bluetooth X9's registry listing is not transferred
Features
PARR flags AFib, premature beats, tachycardia above 100 bpm and bradycardia below 55 bpm, including combined findings. Pulse screening, not ECG. Cuff-fit, movement and hypertension indicators

Memory
Single 90-reading history with date/time for automatic measurements; oldest replaced when full. Auscultatory readings are not included in this stored automatic-mode history
App
Bluetooth low energy sends completed readings to Rossmax Healthstyle after pairing; stored automatic-mode readings can also be transferred. Auscultatory systolic/diastolic readings transfer when marked with the button. Guide documents an optional specially designed USB cable for PC transfer, but Rossmax now says BP Manager software is discontinued and no longer available; monitor remains independently usable
Power
Four AA alkaline cells, DC 6 V; supplied 6 V mains adaptor rated at least 600 mA. Automatic shutdown after one minute without key operation
