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, with Gentle+ pressure control. Single 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/min2025 Italian 4G guide and global support give systolic 60–255 mmHg, diastolic 40–200 mmHg and pulse 40–200 bpm. April 2024 English guide and Italian web product table give blood pressure 20–280 mmHg and pulse 40–200. Static pressure ±3 mmHg and pulse ±5%; 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the UK BIHS recommendation as manufacturer-declared equivalence to the UA-651 and says the equivalence study is unpublished.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 configurationMaker claims BIHS A/A and use of the same measuring technology as BP 3BT0-A. Medaval's exact BP 3GQ1-1P assessment reports no peer-reviewed validation evidence found. Independent exact-model validation remains unresolved; broad maker special-population claims are not treated as 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, low-battery warning and automatic switch-off after approximately one minute. April 2024 guide describes a traffic-light classification indicator; Italian product page calls it three levels while that guide describes four ranges. 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 cuffItalian bundle supplies soft M-L 22–42 cm cuff.

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 listedStores the last completed result only. While switched off, hold ON/OFF and release when the display elements appear to recall it. Exact maker product table and 2018, 2024 and 2025 operating guides agree on one-reading memory; no average, clock-setting or user-selection 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. Optional Microlife DC 6 V, 600 mA adapter uses dedicated socket and stops battery-current consumption when connected. NiMH cells supported but require external charging

Display detailsSystolic pressure, diastolic pressure and pulse shown with battery, irregular heartbeat and pressure/classification indicatorsLCD and one ON/OFF button, cuff and mains-adapter sockets. IP20 in exact operating guides
SizeApproximately 96 × 68 × 130 mm (width × height × depth); approximately 230 g excluding batteries135.5 × 82 × 57 mm; 338 g including batteries and excluding cuff in global support and exact operating guides. Italian web page instead lists 388 g including batteries; conflicting figure retained here rather than silently substituted
