Method
Method	Automatic oscillometric measurement with fuzzy-logic-controlled inflation; designed for adult home use; first on-sale date not established	Automatic oscillometric upper-arm measurement during deflation, marketed as Gentle+ pressure control. January 2024 exact manual describes pumping followed by gradual pressure reduction; no automatic multi-measurement mode. First actual on-sale date unresolved
Accuracy
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	January 2024 E-V10 manual gives systolic 60–255 mmHg, diastolic 40–200 mmHg and pulse 40–199 bpm; static pressure ±3 mmHg and pulse ±5%. Hungarian maker page instead gives blood pressure 20–280 mmHg and pulse 40–200 bpm; global support gives separate systolic/diastolic ranges but pulse 40–200. Cuff-pressure display 0–299 is separate
Clinical validation
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the UK BIHS recommendation as manufacturer-declared equivalence to the UA-651 and says the equivalence study is unpublished.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	STRIDE BP lists A2 Classic as equivalent to BP A100, for adults and diabetes with 22–42 and 32–52 cm cuffs. Headline reflects registry acceptance by equivalence, not a separate exact-model trial. Exact manual cites BP 3BT0-A technology; broad manufacturer special-population claims are not assigned as independently established exact-model trials
Features
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	Ordinary irregular-heartbeat indication, threshold classification scale with 140/90 mark, low-battery indicator and automatic switch-off after approximately one minute. No dedicated AFib screening or app
Cuff

Cuff fits	22–32 cm	22–42 cm
Cuff
Cuff	Supplied 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 cuff	Supplied conical M-L cuff fits 22–42 cm in European and Thai maker pages. Manual separately lists optional S 17–22, M 22–32, L 32–42 and L-XL 32–52 cm; these are not all supplied
Connections and memory

Bluetooth and app
Bluetooth and app	No	No
Memory
Memory	Last 30 blood pressure and pulse measurements, with stored-reading average; no separate user memories listed	Last 30 readings stored, with average displayed first on memory recall followed by individual values. Oldest overwritten when full; newly displayed reading can be excluded and stored history clears together. No clock-setting control, dated-reading recall or user-selector operation established. Hungarian page's translated 30-day wording is not used as a storage-duration claim
App
App	No Bluetooth; readings can be recorded manually	–
Power
Power	Four 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-651	Four 1.5 V AA alkaline cells, approximately 920 measurements with new batteries in January 2024 manual. Microlife DC 6 V, 600 mA adapter supported through dedicated socket; no battery current consumed when connected. NiMH cells supported with external charging, not charging inside the monitor

Display details
Display details	Systolic pressure, diastolic pressure and pulse shown with battery, irregular heartbeat and pressure/classification indicators	LCD with ON/OFF and memory buttons, cuff and mains-adapter sockets; no time button. IP20 in January 2024 manual
Size
Size	Approximately 96 × 68 × 130 mm (width × height × depth); approximately 230 g excluding batteries	120 × 87 × 59 mm; 375 g including batteries in exact global support, European maker page and manual
