Overview
Released––
Measuring
TypeUpper armUpper arm
Clinically validated–Yes
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, with Gentle+ pressure control. One measurement per start; no automatic multiple-measurement mode. First actual on-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/minJuly 2025 E-V10 manual gives systolic 60–255 mmHg, diastolic 40–200 mmHg and pulse 40–199 bpm; static pressure ±3 mmHg and pulse ±5%. Global support matches the blood-pressure ranges but gives pulse 40–200. UK support and Croatian maker page instead give blood pressure 20–280 mmHg and pulse 40–200. Cuff-pressure display 0–299 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the UK BIHS recommendation as manufacturer-declared equivalence to the UA-651 and says the equivalence study is unpublished.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 configurationSTRIDE BP lists equivalence to BP A100, with adult and diabetes studies and 22–42 and 32–52 cm cuffs. Headline reflects registry acceptance by equivalence, not an exact-model trial. Its generic multiple-reading-storage label conflicts with the exact one-reading operation; broad maker special-population claims are not assigned as independently established exact-model trials
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 indication, cuff-fit check, arm-movement indication, pulse display, low-battery warning and automatic switch-off after approximately one minute. No dedicated AFib screening or app
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 cuffCroatian maker bundle supplies M-L conical 22–42 cm cuff. Manual separately lists optional S 17–22, M 22–32, L 32–42 and L-XL 32–52 cm sizes, plus optional pre-shaped cuffs; these are not all supplied
Connections and memory
Readings stored30 (better)1
Bluetooth and appNoNo
MemoryLast 30 blood pressure and pulse measurements, with stored-reading average; no separate user memories listedLast result is stored automatically and recalled by holding ON/OFF while switched off, then releasing when the display elements appear. Single-reading memory is explicit in the maker product page and S-V11 operating guide. July 2025 E-V10 additionally contains an M-button and stored-average paragraph despite labelling no M-button; this unsupported paragraph is not treated as a hardware feature. No dated readings or user-selector operation established
AppNo Bluetooth; readings can be recorded manually–
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 AA alkaline cells, approximately 920 measurements with new batteries in July 2025 manual. Optional Microlife DC 6 V, 600 mA adapter uses dedicated socket; no battery current consumed when connected. NiMH cells require external charging. Croatian page's AAA wording conflicts with its own four-AA bundle and exact manual; AA retained
