Measuring
TypeUpper armUpper arm
Clinically validated–Yes
Irregular heartbeat detectionYesYes
AFib detection or ECGNoNo
MethodAutomatic oscillometric upper-arm measurement during deflation. Exact UK item 60493, EAN 4211125604936; manual model BM 23, technical type BM 25. Range tile and SEO title use BM 25, but active product heading, photos, datasheet and instructions identify BM 23. First-sale date unresolvedAutomatic oscillometric upper-arm measurement during deflation, with Gentle+ pressure control. One measurement per start; no automatic multiple-measurement mode. First actual on-sale date unresolved
AccuracyManual display accuracy ±3 mmHg for systolic and diastolic pressure and ±5% for pulse; systolic range 50–280 mmHg, diastolic 30–200 mmHg and pulse 40–199 beats/minute. Maximum cuff pressure 300 mmHg is separateJuly 2025 E-V10 manual gives systolic 60–255 mmHg, diastolic 40–200 mmHg and pulse 40–199 bpm; static pressure ±3 mmHg and pulse ±5%. Global support matches the blood-pressure ranges but gives pulse 40–200. UK support and Croatian maker page instead give blood pressure 20–280 mmHg and pulse 40–200. Cuff-pressure display 0–299 is separate
Clinical validationCurrent manual claims clinical testing to ISO 81060-2. Medaval lists a Stride BP derivative recommendation based on equivalence to BM 28 via Globalcare GCE603, but says unpublished equivalence results cannot be verified to MDR requirements. Independently established exact-device validation remains unresolved; headline flag omittedSTRIDE BP lists equivalence to BP A100, with adult and diabetes studies and 22–42 and 32–52 cm cuffs. Headline reflects registry acceptance by equivalence, not an exact-model trial. Its generic multiple-reading-storage label conflicts with the exact one-reading operation; broad maker special-population claims are not assigned as independently established exact-model trials
FeaturesIrregular-heartbeat warning, coloured classification scale, electronic cuff-position check, automatic switch-off and battery indicator. No ECG, dedicated AFib screening, resting indicator or voice outputIrregular-heartbeat indication, cuff-fit check, arm-movement indication, pulse display, low-battery warning and automatic switch-off after approximately one minute. No dedicated AFib screening or app
Cuff
Cuff fits22–42 cm22–42 cm
CuffSupplied universal cuff for 22–42 cm upper-arm circumference, replacement item 110.031; conventional hook-and-loop cuff rather than easyClip or easyLockCroatian maker bundle supplies M-L conical 22–42 cm cuff. Manual separately lists optional S 17–22, M 22–32, L 32–42 and L-XL 32–52 cm sizes, plus optional pre-shaped cuffs; these are not all supplied
Connections and memory
Readings stored–1
Bluetooth and appNoNo
MemoryNo stored reading history, user profiles, date/time or calculated averages established by the product table or complete device operation section. Manual's isolated statement about resetting date/time and retaining saved measurements conflicts with those sections; not treated as an implemented featureLast result is stored automatically and recalled by holding ON/OFF while switched off, then releasing when the display elements appear. Single-reading memory is explicit in the maker product page and S-V11 operating guide. July 2025 E-V10 additionally contains an M-button and stored-average paragraph despite labelling no M-button; this unsupported paragraph is not treated as a hardware feature. No dated readings or user-selector operation established
AppNo Bluetooth connection from the monitor. Scan & Save captures the display with a smartphone camera into beurer HealthManager Pro rather than automatically transmitting measurements–
PowerFour 1.5 V LR03 AAA batteries included; manual approximately 300 measurements depending on blood pressure and inflation pressure. USB-C input supports optional 5 V DC / 1 A mains operation, not battery charging or a demonstrated data connection. Manual lists EU adapter 072.78 and UK adapter 072.79; remove batteries for mains operationFour 1.5 V AA alkaline cells, approximately 920 measurements with new batteries in July 2025 manual. Optional Microlife DC 6 V, 600 mA adapter uses dedicated socket; no battery current consumed when connected. NiMH cells require external charging. Croatian page's AAA wording conflicts with its own four-AA bundle and exact manual; AA retained
