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-7155-E, distinct from M3 HEM-7154-E and M3 Comfort AFib HEM-7196-FLE. 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the UK BIHS recommendation as manufacturer-declared equivalence to the UA-651 and says the equivalence study is unpublished.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 configurationSTRIDE BP lists this exact model for adults, diabetes and pregnancy/preeclampsia through approved equivalence to BP760N HEM-7320-Z, rather than three published exact-model trials. Medaval separately notes that the equivalence assessment is unpublished and its MDR compliance cannot be verified; rhythm indicators do not establish diagnostic accuracy
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, movement, cuff-wrap and high-blood-pressure indicators. Manual supports an average of the latest two or three readings within ten minutes, despite web-table averaging and high-pressure indicators being marked absent. No automatic consecutive three-reading mode, AFib screening or ECG recording
