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 65516. First-sale date unconfirmed. Generic inflation icon on the web page conflicts with its technical table and exact manual operation
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 display accuracy ±3 mmHg for systolic and diastolic pressure and ±5% for pulse; systolic range 60–260 mmHg, diastolic 40–199 mmHg and pulse 40–180 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the UK BIHS recommendation as manufacturer-declared equivalence to the UA-651 and says the equivalence study is unpublished.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 datasheet claims ESH clinical validation and 2014/2015 recognition. Medaval lists ESH self-measurement recommendation and DHL manufacturer-declared equivalence, but says exact-device equivalence has not been established to MDR requirements. Independently verified exact-device standard-protocol 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, touch-sensor controls, activation/lock switch and cuff holder. No ECG, dedicated AFib detection or haemodynamic resting indicator; current UK table says no electronic cuff-fit check despite a generic feature icon
Cuff
Cuff fits22–32 cm22–30 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 upper-arm cuff for 22–30 cm circumference. Separate XL cuff 30–42 cm, maker item 163246; it is an optional accessory rather than the standard headline fit
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 stored readings and morning/evening readings over the latest seven days. Holding MEM clears all readings in the selected user memory
AppNo Bluetooth; readings can be recorded manuallyUSB transfer to beurer HealthManager PC software or HealthManager Pro USB uploader, with later app/web viewing. No Bluetooth radio; Scan & Save uses a smartphone camera to read the display rather than wireless transfer from the monitor
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 LR6 AA alkaline batteries included. Manual claims approximately 500 measurements depending on blood pressure and inflation pressure, while current web table says approximately 250. Optional 6 V DC / 600 mA mains part sold separately; battery and mains are alternative power sources
Design
Display detailsSystolic pressure, diastolic pressure and pulse shown with battery, irregular heartbeat and pressure/classification indicatorsIlluminated black LCD with white digits; maker 8.1 × 12.2 cm. Touch-sensor controls and separate rear activation switch, date/time and battery indicator. IPX0 according to manual
SizeApproximately 96 × 68 × 130 mm (width × height × depth); approximately 230 g excluding batteriesManual and datasheet 100 × 150 × 58 mm (L × W × H), approximately 508 g with cuff and without batteries. Web table's 680 g excluding packaging lacks the same weighing conditions
In the boxUA-611 monitor, 22–32 cm SlimFit cuff, instruction manual and four AA batteries in the UK packMonitor, 22–30 cm cuff, USB cable, four AA batteries, storage bag and instructions. UK product page additionally lists a blood pressure record; mains part and XL cuff are separate accessories
