Overview

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 65409, EAN 4211125654092; current linked March 2022 manual identifies model BM 35, type BM 35/1. First-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/minManual display accuracy ±3 mmHg for systolic and diastolic pressure and ±5% for pulse. Systolic range 60–280 mmHg, diastolic 30–200 mmHg and pulse 40–199 beats/minute; cuff-pressure range 0–300 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the UK BIHS recommendation as manufacturer-declared equivalence to the UA-651 and says the equivalence study is unpublished.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 configurationMaker page displays ESH and German Hypertension Society labels. Medaval lists an ESH self-measurement recommendation for BM 35/1 and a Stride BP derivative claim, but says equivalence to Joytech DBP-1307 has not been demonstrated to MDR requirements. Headline independently established exact-device validation omitted while this evidence remains unresolved
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, date/time, application-error message and automatic switch-off. No ECG, dedicated AFib screening, electronic cuff-fit check, resting indicator or voice output
Cuff
Cuff fits22–32 cm22–36 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 standard cuff 22–36 cm, replacement item 163.537.

Connections and memory
Users–2
Readings stored3060 per user (better)
Bluetooth and appNoNo
MemoryLast 30 blood pressure and pulse measurements, with stored-reading average; no separate user memories listedTwo users with 60 dated readings each; oldest overwritten when full. Averages of all saved readings and morning/evening readings over the latest seven days. The manual's deletion sequence clears the selected user memory despite its misleading individual-deletion heading
AppNo Bluetooth; readings can be recorded manuallyNo Bluetooth or connection from the monitor. Scan & Save captures the display using a smartphone camera into beurer HealthManager Pro rather than automatically transferring readings
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 alkaline batteries. Exact current manual claims approximately 250 measurements depending on blood pressure and pump pressure, while the current product table says approximately 300. No mains connection established in this exact manual
