A&D MedicalUA-611BeurerBM 28
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; BM 28 item 65813, with HSD resting indicator. First on-sale date unconfirmed
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/minMaker specifies systolic and diastolic display accuracy ±3 mmHg and pulse ±5%; systolic range 50–280 mmHg, diastolic 30–200 mmHg and pulse 40–199 beats/minute
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the UK BIHS recommendation as manufacturer-declared equivalence to the UA-651 and says the equivalence study is unpublished.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 configurationMaker claims clinical validation including pregnancy, hypertension and pre-eclampsia, and current manual states ISO 81060-2 testing. Medaval separately identifies BM 28 HSD as lacking its own published validation and requiring proven equivalence to the older validated BM 28; independent validation 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 diagnosisCuff-fit check, HSD haemodynamic resting indicator, irregular-heartbeat warning, classification scale, two alarm times and automatic switch-off; no AFib screening or ECG
