Overview
Released––
Measuring
TypeUpper armUpper arm
Clinically validatedYesYes
Irregular heartbeat detectionYesYes
AFib detection or ECGYesYes
MethodAutomatic oscillometric measurement with fuzzy-logic-controlled inflation; designed for adult home useOscillometric upper-arm measurement during deflation with Gentle+ pressure control. Side switch selects single measurement or AFIB/MAM mode; three measurements with 15-second pauses produce one analysed result. Individual results are not displayed; a fourth measurement is taken if one is questionable. 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/minExact November 2023 E-V10 guide gives systolic 60–255 mmHg, diastolic 40–200 mmHg, pulse 40–199 bpm, static accuracy ±3 mmHg and pulse accuracy ±5%. France page instead gives blood pressure 20–280 mmHg and pulse 40–200 bpm; global support also gives pulse 40–200. Range differences remain explicit. Cuff-pressure display 0–299 mmHg is separate
Clinical validationSTRIDE BP lists UA-611Plus as equivalent to the validated UA-1020, citing 2013 BHS 1993 studies; this is approved device equivalence, not a direct UA-611Plus validation study. A&D's shared manual separately states ISO 81060-2:2013 clinical testingSTRIDE BP accepts equivalence to BP A100 for adult and diabetes populations, with 22–42 and 32–52 cm cuffs. Headline reflects registry acceptance by equivalence rather than a separate exact-model validation trial. Broad maker population and AFib accuracy claims are not treated as independent exact-model findings
FeaturesIHB/AFib screening indicator, pressure progress bar, WHO classification indicator, stored-reading average and automatic power-off; maker says AFib screening is for monitoring and not diagnosisAFib screening only operates in AFIB/MAM mode, not standard single measurements. It is not an ECG recording or diagnosis, despite stronger French product-page wording. Cuff-fit and arm-movement indicators, coloured classification scale, low-battery warning, heartbeat beeps and automatic switch-off after approximately one minute
Cuff
Cuff fits22–32 cm22–42 cm
CuffSupplied latex-free and metal-free cuff fits 22–32 cm; optional small 16–24 cm, semi-large 23–37 cm, wide-range 22–42 cm and large 31–45 cm cuffs, sold separatelyFrance maker specifies a preformed M-L 22–42 cm cuff. Exact guide lists optional S 17–22, M 22–32, L 32–42 and L-XL 32–52 cm sizes; these are not all supplied
Connections and memory
Readings stored60200 (better)
Bluetooth and appNoNo
MemoryLast 60 blood pressure and pulse measurements, with stored-reading average; no separate user memories listedAutomatically stores the last 200 readings with date and time; oldest overwritten when full. M-button recalls previous readings and clears all history. Individual stored readings cannot be cleared, though a newly displayed result can be excluded before storage. History survives battery replacement but clock must be reset. No separate user selector established
AppNo Bluetooth; readings can be recorded manuallyUSB PC link to Microlife Blood Pressure Analyzer+ software, using a Mini-B 5-pin connector. Computer controls the device during connection. No Bluetooth or mobile-app transfer; current software compatibility must be checked separately, not inferred from old software CDs
PowerFour AA 1.5 V batteries according to the exact manual; approximately 700 measurements with LR6 alkaline or 200 with R6P manganese batteries at 180 mmHg and 23°C. UA-611Plus has no DC socket; the adapter in the shared manual applies only to UA-651PlusFour 1.5 V AA alkaline cells; approximately 920 measurements with new batteries, without a separate AFIB/MAM-cycle count. Microlife DC 6 V, 600 mA adapter stops battery-current use when connected. NiMH cells supported with external charging. French supplied-items list includes adapter, while its voltage-source line and global guide call it optional; bundle difference unresolved
Design
Display detailsSystolic pressure, diastolic pressure and pulse with battery, IHB/AFib and pressure/classification indicatorsLCD with date/time, M-memory and ON/OFF buttons, side time control and 1/3 AFIB/MAM switch. USB socket and DC adapter input. IP20
SizeApproximately 96 × 68 × 130 mm (width × height × depth); approximately 240 g excluding batteries; maker lists IP20, without water protection152 × 92 × 42 mm; 393 g including batteries in exact guide and maker pages
In the boxUK pack includes UA-611Plus monitor, 22–32 cm cuff, instruction manual and four batteries; product-page box list says AAA but its linked exact manual specifies AAFrance maker lists storage bag, four AA cells, USB cable, BP Analyzer software, mains adapter, diary and M-L 22–42 cm cuff. Guide permits bundles without cable/download voucher and calls adapter optional. Product resource is French regional maker page; global support and multilingual guide include English. Guide's isolated wrist-cuff sentence conflicts with its upper-arm intended use and cuff table and is not transferred
