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 establishedSemi-automatic oscillometric upper-arm measurement. User inflates cuff with pump ball; electronic measurement follows during deflation. Quick-acting valve releases remaining air. No MAM automatic triple mode. First retail 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/minCurrent April 2024 exact guide gives systolic 60–255 and diastolic 40–200 mmHg, pulse 40–199 bpm; global support pulse upper limit is 200. Older MD-V4 English guide gives blood pressure 20–280 mmHg and pulse 40–200. Static pressure accuracy ±3 mmHg and pulse accuracy ±5%; cuff-pressure display 0–299 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the UK BIHS recommendation as manufacturer-declared equivalence to the UA-651 and says the equivalence study is unpublished.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 configurationCurrent guide claims shared BP 3BTO-A/BIHS technology, while older exact English guide names BP 3BTO-H/ESH. Ukrainian product page claims ISO validation. Medaval reports no peer-reviewed exact N1 Basic validation evidence and bounded STRIDE search recovered none; independent exact validation unresolved, headline validation 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 diagnosisGeneric PAD pulse-arrhythmia indication, not AFib-specific screening or ECG. Hypertension warning, pump-up/air-discharge and low-battery indicators. No date/time controls. Regional page advertises cuff-fit and movement checks; exact guide's labelled display has no separate cuff-fit icon, so feature conflict remains qualified
Cuff
Cuff fits22–32 cm22–32 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 cuffCurrent exact guide explicitly supplies M 22–32 cm cuff, agreeing with Ukrainian maker page's straight M cuff. Optional M-L 22–42 and L 32–42 cm in current guide; L requires black deflation valve. Pump and cuff can use either pneumatic pin; not dual-arm electronic measurement
Connections and memory
Users–1
Readings stored3030
Bluetooth and appNoNo
MemoryLast 30 blood pressure and pulse measurements, with stored-reading average; no separate user memories listedOne 30-reading history, oldest overwritten when full. Dedicated memory button recalls older results. Removing batteries clears all saved readings; no timestamps, user selector or automatic averaging. Latest displayed reading can be excluded before storage
AppNo Bluetooth; readings can be recorded manuallyNo Bluetooth, USB or PC-transfer function in exact controls
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-651Two 1.5 V AAA alkaline cells, approximately 780 measurements with new batteries. Older exact English guide permits externally charged NiMH. April 2024 guide's technical table additionally lists optional DC 6 V, 600 mA adaptor, but its labelled controls and operating instructions show no mains socket or procedure; this conflict does not establish usable mains support
Design
Display detailsSystolic pressure, diastolic pressure and pulse shown with battery, irregular heartbeat and pressure/classification indicatorsLCD showing systolic, diastolic, pulse, PAD, memory number, battery and inflation/deflation indications. ON/OFF and memory buttons, two pneumatic pins. IP20
