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. Side switch selects single measurement or AFIB/MAM triple mode; three readings separated by 15 seconds produce one analysed result. Questionable reading triggers a fourth; individual triple results are not displayed. 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 French-linked non-Bluetooth S-V10-1 guide gives blood pressure 20–280 mmHg and pulse 40–200 bpm; global support instead lists systolic 60–255 and diastolic 40–200 mmHg. 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 A7 Touch for adult and diabetic home use by equivalence to BP A100, with referenced 2009, 2018 and 2021 studies. This is not an independent exact-model trial for every special population claimed by maker. Registry's dual-arm feature does not establish two simultaneous cuff inputs on this single-socket device
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 pulse-irregularity screening active only in AFIB/MAM triple mode; no ECG recording or ECG-confirmed diagnosis. Cuff-fit and arm-movement indications, pressure classification 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 separatelyFrench maker supplies preformed M-L 22–42 cm cuff. 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 listedTouch user selection chooses user 1, user 2 or guest mode, whose readings are not stored. Two dated histories of 99 readings each; first recall shows an average, whose interval is not specified in exact guide. Oldest overwritten when full; complete selected-user history can be cleared, individual saved readings cannot. Newly displayed reading can be excluded. Readings survive battery replacement while clock needs reset
AppNo Bluetooth; readings can be recorded manuallyUSB Mini-B five-pin cable transfers stored readings to Microlife Blood Pressure Analyzer+ PC software. No Bluetooth function in exact non-Bluetooth controls or guide. Separate A7 Touch BT is a different existing model; global A7 Touch support page now links BT manuals, which are not used for this record
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-651PlusFrench exact guide and product list four 1.5 V AAA alkaline cells and approximately 400 measurements with new batteries; global support instead says AA. Regional source conflict retained, not borrowed from A7 Touch BT. Microlife DC 6 V, 600 mA adapter optional in guide while French bundle includes it. NiMH cells supported with external charging; no internal charging
Design
Display detailsSystolic pressure, diastolic pressure and pulse with battery, IHB/AFib and pressure/classification indicatorsTouch display with date/time, memory, start and user-selection controls, separate forward/backward and enter controls. Lock switch prevents accidental activation; side single/triple switch, cuff, USB and DC sockets. IP20
SizeApproximately 96 × 68 × 130 mm (width × height × depth); approximately 240 g excluding batteries; maker lists IP20, without water protectionFrench non-Bluetooth S-V10-1 guide and product page give 160 × 82 × 35 mm and 312 g including batteries. Global non-Bluetooth support instead gives 157.5 × 105 × 61.5 mm and 415 g including batteries; conflicting regional figures retained without assuming they describe an unannounced revision
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 AAFrench maker lists preformed M-L 22–42 cm cuff, USB cable, four AAA alkaline cells, adapter, large textile storage bag and blood-pressure diary. Guide calls adapter optional; regional bundle differences remain qualified
