UK item 10361, EAN 4211125103613; manual model BM 38, technical type BM 48/1. Announced at IFA on 6 September 2024 with planned German availability from October 2024; first actual sale unresolved |
| Accuracy | Maker 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/min | Manual 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 validation | A&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the UK BIHS recommendation as manufacturer-declared equivalence to the UA-651 and says the equivalence study is unpublished.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 configuration | Current manual claims clinical testing to ISO 81060-2. Independent exact-device validation not established in the source pass; headline flag omitted |
| Features | Irregular heartbeat indicator, pressure progress bar, WHO classification indicator, stored-reading average and automatic power-off; irregular heartbeat indication is not a specific AFib diagnosis | Irregular-heartbeat warning, coloured classification scale, cuff-position check and HSD resting indicator. Automatic switch-off after approximately one minute, battery indicator and START/STOP button. No ECG, dedicated AFib screening or voice output |
