| BeurerBC 87 | OmronRS3 Intelli IT | |
|---|---|---|
| Overview | ||
| Released | – | – |
| Measuring | ||
| Type | Wrist | Wrist |
| Clinically validated | – | Yes |
| Irregular heartbeat detection | Yes | Yes |
| AFib detection or ECG | No | No |
| Method | Automatic oscillometric wrist measurement during inflation; exact BC 87 item 65703. First on-sale date unconfirmed | Oscillometric wrist measurement; HEM-6161T-E. First on-sale date not established |
| Accuracy | Maker display accuracy ±3 mmHg for systolic and diastolic pressure and ±5% for pulse; systolic range 60–230 mmHg, diastolic 40–130 mmHg and pulse 40–199 beats/minute. Cuff-pressure range 0–299 mmHg is separate | Maker's pressure accuracy ±3 mmHg and pulse accuracy ±5%; systolic range 60–260 mmHg, diastolic 40–215 mmHg and pulse 40–180 beats/minute |
| Clinical validation | Maker datasheet claims clinical validation and ESH recognition. Medaval reports no peer-reviewed exact-technology validation information; independently published validation not established, so headline flag omitted | Medaval attributes STRIDE BP adult self-measurement recommendation to HEM-6181 equivalence, noting that the unpublished assessment cannot be verified against MDR requirements. Exact manual says pregnancy use has not been validated |
| Features | Heart-level position indicator in start/stop button, HSD haemodynamic resting indicator, irregular-heartbeat warning and coloured classification scale. No ECG or dedicated AFib screening | Cuff-wrap, hypertension and irregular-heartbeat indicators; no advanced wrist-height sensor, movement indicator, averaging, AFib screening or ECG. Web FAQ positioning wording does not establish a sensor |
| Cuff | ||
| Cuff fits | 13.5–21.5 cm | 13.5–21.5 cm |
| Cuff | Integrated wrist cuff for 13.5–21.5 cm circumference; heart-level position guidance does not replace correct cuff fitting | Wrist circumference 13.5–21.5 cm |
| Connections and memory | ||
| Users | 2 (better) | 1 |
| Readings stored | 120 per user (better) | 30 |
| Bluetooth and app | Yes | Yes |
| Memory | Two users with 120 dated readings each; oldest overwritten when full. Averages of all stored values and morning/evening readings over the latest seven days. User-memory deletion removes all its readings together | Up to 30 internal readings for one user; stored results transfer to the app. The exact instructions do not describe browsing earlier readings on the monitor |
| App | Bluetooth Low Energy transfer to beurer HealthManager Pro immediately after measurement or during memory recall; maker manual gives smartphone/tablet compatibility with Bluetooth 4.0 or later, not an exact radio version | Bluetooth low energy transfers readings to OMRON connect automatically within one hour or manually using the Bluetooth button; device compatibility depends on the app |
| Power | Two 1.5 V LR03 AAA batteries included; approximately 200 measurements depending on blood pressure and inflation pressure; no mains supply | Two AAA alkaline batteries included; approximately 300 measurements with new alkaline batteries |
| Design | ||
| Display details | Illuminated black LCD with white digits, maker 5.7 × 5.8 cm; date/time, battery level and resting status. No voice output; IP22 | Digital LCD; IP22 |
| Size | Manual and datasheet 72 × 96 × 71 mm (L × W × H), approximately 119 g with cuff and without batteries. Web table gives 70 mm length and 224 g excluding packaging without matching weighing conditions | Approximately 84 × 62 × 21 mm (W × H × L, excluding cuff); 2022 manual gives 85 g without batteries, versus web table's rounded 90 g |
| In the box | Wrist monitor with cuff, two AAA batteries, storage box, instructions and quick-start guide; UK product page additionally lists a blood pressure record | Monitor, two AAA alkaline batteries, storage case, instruction manual and setup instructions |
