Measuring
TypeWristWrist
Irregular heartbeat detectionYesYes
AFib detection or ECGNoNo
MethodAutomatic oscillometric wrist measurement during deflation. Exact UK item 65904, EAN 4211125659042. Current page heading and download labels identify BC 27 despite BC 28 in its SEO title and range tile; linked manual identifies type BC 27, technical model BC 28. First-sale date unconfirmedAutomatic oscillometric wrist measurement; exact manual describes inflation followed by gradual pressure reduction. No Comfort+ inflation-measurement claim transferred from W3 Comfort. Manufacturer labels it new 2025/26, but exact first-sale date remains unresolved
AccuracyManual display accuracy ±3 mmHg for systolic and diastolic pressure and ±5% for pulse. Systolic range 60–260 mmHg, diastolic 40–199 mmHg and pulse 40–180 beats/minute; cuff-pressure range 0–300 mmHg is separateStatic pressure accuracy ±3 mmHg and pulse ±5% of readout. Systolic 60–255 mmHg, diastolic 40–200 mmHg and pulse 40–199 bpm in current manual; website rounds pulse upper limit to 200. Cuff-pressure display range 0–299 mmHg is separate
Clinical validationExact manual states a maximum permissible clinical-test standard deviation of 8 mmHg, but does not identify a published validation study. Medaval reports no peer-reviewed clinical validation information for BC 27; consumer laboratory tests do not establish clinical validation. Headline validation omittedManufacturer product page claims ISO clinical validation and manual claims ESH testing; no exact-model independent validation listing or published trial recovered in bounded searches. Headline validation omitted pending independent evidence
FeaturesIrregular-heartbeat warning, coloured classification scale, date/time, application-error messages and automatic switch-off after approximately one minute. No dedicated AFib screening, ECG, movement detection, heart-level position indicator, resting indicator or voice outputOrdinary irregular-heartbeat indication, cuff-fit check, arm-movement warning, blood-pressure classification display, low-battery indicator and automatic switch-off after approximately one minute. Website mentions an LED positioning indicator, but exact manual labels a traffic-light display and establishes no separate heart-level positioning sensor; claim remains unresolved. No dedicated AFib algorithm or MAM sequence established
Cuff
Cuff fits14–19.5 cm13.5–21.5 cm
CuffFixed wrist cuff for 14–19.5 cm circumference; exact manual requires the supplied attached cuff. Heart-level positioning is a user instruction, not an electronic position sensorPre-formed wrist cuff fits 13.5–21.5 cm; damp cloth and mild soapsuds for cleaning, no machine washing
Connections and memory
Users2–
Readings stored60 per user (better)30
Bluetooth and appNoNo
MemoryTwo users with 60 dated readings each; oldest overwritten when full. Average of all stored readings and seven-day morning (05:00–09:00) or evening (18:00–20:00) averages. Selected user memory can be clearedStores 30 readings with date/time and displays average of all stored values, excluding readings with suboptimal cuff fit. Oldest reading overwritten when full. Current exact manual explicitly says removing batteries deletes stored measurements; no memory retention borrowed from W1 Basic or W3 Comfort. New reading can be excluded; saved history clears together. No separate user selector established
AppNo Bluetooth or connection from the monitor. Scan & Save captures the displayed values using a phone camera into beurer HealthManager Pro; not automatic wireless transfer–
PowerTwo 1.5 V LR03 AAA batteries. Exact linked manual claims approximately 170 measurements depending on blood pressure and inflation pressure; current product table says approximately 300. No mains operation establishedTwo 1.5 V AAA alkaline batteries; approximately 700 measurements with new cells. NiMH rechargeable cells supported but charged externally. Product page and manual agree on two cells; support table incorrectly gives four
Design
Display detailsLCD with black digits; current maker table gives 3.5 × 4.0 cm and claims illumination, while FAZ Kaufkompass's exact tested BC 27 has an unlit display. Illumination remains unresolved rather than assuming a hardware revision. Physical start/stop and memory controls, low-battery indicator; manual IP22LCD with ON/OFF, memory and time controls plus separate classification display; IP22 in current exact manual
SizeExact linked manual 84 × 60 × 29 mm (L × W × H), approximately 92 g with cuff without batteries. Current web/data sheet instead gives 60 × 84 × 55 mm and approximately 171 g excluding packaging, without equivalent weighing conditions; conflict unresolvedExact operating manual gives 76 × 67 × 29 mm and 127 g including batteries. European product/support tables instead give 131 × 90 × 60.5 mm; larger figures are not adopted as body dimensions or guessed to be packaging
In the boxMonitor with attached cuff, two AAA batteries, storage box and instructions. Current product page and data sheet also list a blood pressure recordMonitor, storage box, two AAA alkaline batteries and blood-pressure diary listed by manufacturer; operating instructions available
