| BeurerBC 28 | MicrolifeBP W90 | |
|---|---|---|
| Overview | ||
| Released | – | – |
| Measuring | ||
| Type | Wrist | Wrist |
| Irregular heartbeat detection | Yes | Yes |
| AFib detection or ECG | No | No |
| Method | Automatic oscillometric wrist measurement during deflation. Exact white UK item 65044, EAN 4211125650445; BC 27 dark-grey item 65904 has a separate maker product record. First-sale date unconfirmed | Automatic oscillometric wrist measurement during deflation; the October 2021 manual describes inflation followed by gradual pressure reduction. First on-sale date unresolved |
| Accuracy | Exact 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. October 2021 manual gives blood pressure 20–280 mmHg and pulse 40–200 bpm; current support instead lists systolic 60–255 and diastolic 40–200 mmHg. Cuff-pressure display 0–299 mmHg is separate |
| Clinical validation | Manual gives an unspecified clinical-test maximum permissible standard deviation of 8 mmHg for systolic and diastolic pressure, without identifying a published study. Medaval reports no peer-reviewed clinical validation information for BC 28; headline independently established validation omitted | Maker claims BIHS validation through the measuring technology of BP 3BZ1-3. Medaval reports no published exact-model peer-reviewed validation found; headline validation remains unresolved rather than treating the related-model claim as an exact W90 trial |
| 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 irregular-heartbeat indication, audible measurement signals, two independently enabled daily reminder alarms, low-battery warning and automatic switch-off after approximately one minute. No dedicated AFib screening or MAM sequence established |
| Cuff | ||
| Cuff fits | 14–19.5 cm | 13.5–21.5 cm |
| Cuff | Attached wrist cuff for 14–19.5 cm circumference. User must position the cuff at heart level; no electronic position guidance | Wrist circumference 13.5–21.5 cm in exact October 2021 manual |
| Connections and memory | ||
| Users | 2 | 2 |
| Readings stored | 60 per user | 99 per user (better) |
| Bluetooth and app | No | No |
| Memory | Two users with 60 dated readings each; oldest overwritten when full. Average of all stored values and morning (05:00–09:00) or evening (18:00–20:00) readings over the latest seven days. Deletion clears the selected user's entire memory | Up to 99 dated readings for each of two user profiles; guest mode does not store readings. Time-button and memory-button sequence selects the user. Oldest reading overwritten when full; stored readings retained after cell replacement, while clock and alarms reset. History can be cleared for the selected user. Instructions establish individual recall, not an automatic average |
| App | No Bluetooth or connection from the monitor. Current Scan & Save support captures the displayed values using a smartphone camera into beurer HealthManager Pro; not automatic transfer | – |
| Power | Two 1.5 V LR03 AAA alkaline batteries; exact manuals claim approximately 170 measurements depending on blood pressure and inflation pressure, while the current product table says approximately 300. Battery operation only | Two 1.5 V AAA alkaline cells, approximately 460 measurements with new batteries. NiMH cells supported with external charging. Polish product page's table says four AAA cells and DC 6 V, conflicting with its own two-cell package list and the exact manual; copied table is not adopted and no adapter interface is assigned |
| Design | ||
| Display details | Non-illuminated LCD with black digits, maker size 3.5 × 4.0 cm. Physical start/stop and memory controls; low-battery indicator. Manual IP22 | LCD with ON/OFF, memory and time buttons; IP20 in October 2021 manual |
| Size | Exact English and March 2022 multilingual manuals and January 2019 data sheet give 84 × 60 × 29 mm (L × W × H), approximately 92 g with cuff without batteries. Current product table instead gives 60 × 84 × 55 mm and 171 g excluding packaging, with weighing conditions unspecified; differences unresolved | 68 × 68 × 70 mm including cuff in current support; 140 g including batteries |
| In the box | Monitor with attached cuff, two AAA batteries, storage box and instructions. Current product page also lists a blood pressure record. Dedicated English manual's footer is September 2019 despite its download filename using March 2022; newer multilingual manual has the same core specifications | Monitor, storage box, two AAA alkaline batteries and blood-pressure diary listed by Polish maker page. Product resource is Polish; support and operating instructions include English. Photographs show distinct green-front and silver-front maker finishes, without inventing additional hardware configurations |
