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 useAutomatic oscillometric upper-arm measurement during deflation; 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 manual specifies static pressure accuracy within ±3 mmHg and pulse accuracy of ±5% of the readout value; this specification is distinct from clinical validation
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 lists this exact model for home use in adults and people with diabetes, with a validated 22–42 cm cuff; its entry lists approved validation studies published in 2009, 2018 and 2021
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 diagnosisAFIBsens atrial fibrillation indication is active only in MAM mode; separate irregular heartbeat indication, cuff fit check, movement error indication, traffic light classification scale and adjustable date/time
