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+ control. Single or AFIB/MAM triple mode selected by side switch; three readings separated by 15 seconds produce one analysed result. Individual results are not displayed; questionable reading triggers a fourth. Actual first retail sale 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 19 June 2024 guide gives systolic 60–255 mmHg, diastolic 40–200 mmHg and pulse 40–199 bpm; global support gives pulse 40–200. Ukrainian maker page gives blood pressure 20–280 mmHg and pulse 40–200; range differences retained. Static pressure accuracy ±3 mmHg and pulse accuracy ±5%; 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 exact BP A6 PC for adult and diabetic home use by equivalence to BP A100, with referenced 2009, 2018 and 2021 studies. This does not establish separate published exact A6 PC trials for every special population mentioned by the maker. AFib screening and blood-pressure validation are separate claims
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 indication is active only in AFIB/MAM triple mode, not single measurement; it analyses pulse irregularity and does not record an ECG or provide an ECG-confirmed diagnosis. Cuff-fit and arm-movement indicators, coloured pressure scale, low-battery warning 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 separatelyUkrainian maker supplies preformed M-L 22–42 cm cuff and cuff holder. Guide lists optional S 17–22, M 22–32, M-L 22–42, L 32–42 and L-XL 32–52 cm; those are not all supplied. STRIDE lists validated 22–42 and 32–52 cm sizes
Connections and memory
Users–2
Readings stored6099 per user (better)
Bluetooth and appNoNo
MemoryLast 60 blood pressure and pulse measurements, with stored-reading average; no separate user memories listedSeparate dated histories of 99 readings per user. First recall displays average of all saved values, labelled 28A in current guide without defining a 28-day period. Forward/backward buttons navigate history. Oldest overwritten when full; complete selected-user history can be cleared, individual saved readings cannot. Newly displayed result can be excluded. Readings survive battery replacement while clock needs reset
AppNo Bluetooth; readings can be recorded manuallyMini-B five-pin USB cable transfers stored values to Microlife Blood Pressure Analyzer+ PC software. No Bluetooth phone connection. Ukrainian maker includes cable; other regional bundles may differ
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 AAA alkaline cells; approximately 400 measurements using new batteries, not a separate MAM-cycle count. Microlife DC 6 V, 600 mA adapter optional in global guide; Ukrainian bundle list includes adapter despite technical table calling it optional. NiMH cells supported with external charging; no internal battery charging

Display detailsSystolic pressure, diastolic pressure and pulse with battery, IHB/AFib and pressure/classification indicatorsLCD with date/time, user, AFIB/MAM and interval indications; START/STOP, memory, time and forward/backward controls. Separate lock switch prevents accidental activation. USB, cuff and DC sockets. IP20
SizeApproximately 96 × 68 × 130 mm (width × height × depth); approximately 240 g excluding batteries; maker lists IP20, without water protection160 × 80 × 32 mm; 354 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 AAUkrainian maker lists preformed M-L 22–42 cm cuff, cuff holder, USB cable, four AAA alkaline cells, adapter, textile bag and blood-pressure diary. Regional bundle differences and the adapter table conflict remain explicit
