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 for adults; maker manual gives a pressure range of 30–260 mmHg and pulse range of 40–199 beats/minute. 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 specifies pressure accuracy within ±3 mmHg and pulse accuracy within ±5% of the reading; these specifications are separate 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 X5 as equivalent to Rossmax CF175, whose adult validation study used ESH-IP 2010 and was published in 2015; approved equivalence is not a direct X5 validation study. Its listing also mentions Bluetooth, whereas this exact non-Bluetooth X5 maker page/manual uses an optional wired PC link
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 diagnosisPARR distinguishes pulse arrhythmia, atrial fibrillation and premature contractions; loose-cuff and body-movement indications, hypertension risk scale and guest mode. AFib indication is not an ECG recording; the manual notes that detection is limited and a pacemaker may impair it
Cuff
Cuff fits22–32 cm24–40 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 separatelyLatex-free Universal Cone Cuff with cuff holder; other sizes are available on request
Connections and memory
Users–2
Readings stored6060 per user
Bluetooth and appNoNo
MemoryLast 60 blood pressure and pulse measurements, with stored-reading average; no separate user memories listed60 readings per user, 120 total, with date and time; averages of the last three readings and morning/evening readings over the previous seven days. Guest readings are not stored; oldest stored reading is replaced when a user's memory is full
AppNo Bluetooth; readings can be recorded manuallyNo Bluetooth; optional specially designed USB cable connects the data-link socket to Rossmax BP Manager PC software. Rossmax now states BP Manager PC software is discontinued and no longer available; the monitor remains usable independently
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 AAA batteries, DC 6 V; optional DC 6 V adaptor rated at least 600 mA. Automatic shutdown one minute after the last key operation
