Method
Method	Automatic 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 unconfirmed	Automatic oscillometric wrist measurement during inflation, marketed as IMT/Comfort+; exact 2015 and August 2020 operating instructions both explicitly describe inflation measurement. First on-sale date unresolved
Accuracy
Accuracy	Manual 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 separate	Static pressure accuracy ±3 mmHg and pulse ±5% of readout. August 2020 manual gives 20–280 mmHg blood pressure and 40–200 bpm; current support instead lists separate systolic 60–255 and diastolic 40–200 mmHg ranges. Cuff-pressure display 0–299 mmHg is separate
Clinical validation
Clinical validation	Exact 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 omitted	Exact W2 Slim passed adult ESH-IP 2010 and ANSI/AAMI/ISO 81060-2:2013 protocols in Bing et al., published 2016; STRIDE BP lists a validated 13.5–23 cm cuff. This is exact-model evidence, distinct from later W3 Comfort equivalence. Study date does not establish first retail sale
Features
Features	Irregular-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 output	Ordinary pulse-arrhythmia indication, cuff-fit check, arm-movement warning, colour classification scale, low-battery warning and automatic switch-off after approximately one minute. No dedicated AFib screening or MAM sequence established
Cuff
Cuff fits
Cuff fits	14–19.5 cm	13.5–23 cm
Cuff
Cuff	Fixed 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 sensor	Wrist circumference 13.5–23 cm; damp cloth and mild detergent for cleaning

Memory
Memory	Two 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 cleared	Up to 60 dated readings for each of two users selected by physical user switch. Oldest overwritten when full. Memory retained on cell replacement while clock resets. New reading can be excluded; stored history clears together for selected user. Instructions describe individual recall, not an automatic all-readings average
App
App	No Bluetooth or connection from the monitor. Scan & Save captures the displayed values using a phone camera into beurer HealthManager Pro; not automatic wireless transfer	–
Power
Power	Two 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 established	Two 1.5 V AAA alkaline batteries, approximately 320 measurements with new cells. NiMH rechargeable cells supported but charged externally. STRIDE's additional-feature table mentions AC adapter and PC link, but exact operating instructions establish neither interface; those claims are not adopted
Design
Display details
Display details	LCD 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 IP22	LCD with ON/OFF, memory and time controls, user switch and colour classification scale; IP20 in August 2020 manual
Size
Size	Exact 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 unresolved	81 × 65 × 21 mm; 115 g including batteries
In the box
In the box	Monitor with attached cuff, two AAA batteries, storage box and instructions. Current product page and data sheet also list a blood pressure record	Monitor, storage box, two AAA alkaline batteries and blood-pressure diary listed by surviving manufacturer page. Product resource is Arabic regional maker page; support and linked instructions include English
