Better figure, where one is clearly better

A&D MedicalUA-611OmronM2 Essential
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; HEM-7188-E, distinct from M2+ HEM-7188-LE and earlier M2 generations. First on-sale date not established
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's pressure accuracy ±3 mmHg and pulse accuracy ±5% of displayed reading; systolic range 60–260 mmHg, diastolic 40–215 mmHg and pulse 40–180 beats/minute
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the UK BIHS recommendation as manufacturer-declared equivalence to the UA-651 and says the equivalence study is unpublished.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 manual states an 85-subject clinical investigation under EN ISO 81060-2:2014 and compliance with 2019, A1:2020 and A2:2024; investigation excludes pregnant and pre-eclamptic patients and uses K5 for diastolic pressure. Blood pressure validation does not establish diagnostic accuracy of rhythm indicators
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, body-movement, cuff-wrap and high-blood-pressure indicators. No AFib detection, ECG recording or automatic averaging; the UK page's generic Upper Arm BPM & ECG category label does not describe an ECG capability on this model
