Overview
Released––
Measuring
TypeUpper armUpper arm
Irregular heartbeat detectionYesYes
AFib detection or ECG–No
MethodAutomatic oscillometric measurement with fuzzy-logic-controlled inflation; designed for adult home use; first on-sale date not establishedAutomatic oscillometric upper-arm measurement during deflation. Exact UK item 60493, EAN 4211125604936; manual model BM 23, technical type BM 25. Range tile and SEO title use BM 25, but active product heading, photos, datasheet and instructions identify BM 23. First-sale date unresolved
AccuracyMaker specification ±3 mmHg pressure and ±5% pulse; pressure range 0–299 mmHg, systolic 60–279 mmHg, diastolic 40–200 mmHg and pulse 40–180 beats/minManual display accuracy ±3 mmHg for systolic and diastolic pressure and ±5% for pulse; systolic range 50–280 mmHg, diastolic 30–200 mmHg and pulse 40–199 beats/minute. Maximum cuff pressure 300 mmHg is separate
Clinical validationA&D UK claims ESH 2010 validation; Medaval identifies the UK BIHS recommendation as manufacturer-declared equivalence to the UA-651 and says the equivalence study is unpublished. The US Validate BP listing covers UA-611 under ANSI/AAMI/ISO 81060-2:2018 with different cuff options; this does not establish direct validation of the supplied UK cuff configurationCurrent manual claims clinical testing to ISO 81060-2. Medaval lists a Stride BP derivative recommendation based on equivalence to BM 28 via Globalcare GCE603, but says unpublished equivalence results cannot be verified to MDR requirements. Independently established exact-device validation remains unresolved; headline flag omitted
FeaturesIrregular heartbeat indicator, pressure progress bar, WHO classification indicator, stored-reading average and automatic power-off; irregular heartbeat indication is not a specific AFib diagnosisIrregular-heartbeat warning, coloured classification scale, electronic cuff-position check, automatic switch-off and battery indicator. No ECG, dedicated AFib screening, resting indicator or voice output
Cuff
Cuff fits22–32 cm22–42 cm
CuffSupplied latex-free and metal-free SlimFit cuff fits 22–32 cm; optional large cuff fits 31–45 cm, sold separately; UK manual says this model is not designed for a small cuffSupplied universal cuff for 22–42 cm upper-arm circumference, replacement item 110.031; conventional hook-and-loop cuff rather than easyClip or easyLock
Connections and memory
Readings stored30–
Bluetooth and appNoNo
MemoryLast 30 blood pressure and pulse measurements, with stored-reading average; no separate user memories listedNo stored reading history, user profiles, date/time or calculated averages established by the product table or complete device operation section. Manual's isolated statement about resetting date/time and retaining saved measurements conflicts with those sections; not treated as an implemented feature
AppNo Bluetooth; readings can be recorded manuallyNo Bluetooth connection from the monitor. Scan & Save captures the display with a smartphone camera into beurer HealthManager Pro rather than automatically transmitting measurements
PowerFour AA 1.5 V batteries; maker claims approximately 700 measurements with LR6 alkaline batteries or 200 with R6P manganese batteries at 180 mmHg and 23°C. UA-611 has no DC socket; the optional adapter in the shared manual applies only to UA-651Four 1.5 V LR03 AAA batteries included; manual approximately 300 measurements depending on blood pressure and inflation pressure. USB-C input supports optional 5 V DC / 1 A mains operation, not battery charging or a demonstrated data connection. Manual lists EU adapter 072.78 and UK adapter 072.79; remove batteries for mains operation
Design
Display detailsSystolic pressure, diastolic pressure and pulse shown with battery, irregular heartbeat and pressure/classification indicatorsNon-illuminated LCD with black digits, maker 4.4 × 5.3 cm; physical START/STOP button. Manual IP21
SizeApproximately 96 × 68 × 130 mm (width × height × depth); approximately 230 g excluding batteries120 × 90 × 40 mm (L × W × H). Manual and datasheet approximately 318 g with cuff and without batteries; current product table's 362 g excluding packaging has unspecified weighing conditions
