Method
Method	Automatic 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 unresolved	Automatic oscillometric upper-arm measurement during deflation, marketed as Gentle+ pressure control. January 2024 exact manual describes pumping followed by gradual pressure reduction; no automatic multi-measurement mode. First actual on-sale date unresolved
Accuracy
Accuracy	Manual 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 separate	January 2024 E-V10 manual gives systolic 60–255 mmHg, diastolic 40–200 mmHg and pulse 40–199 bpm; static pressure ±3 mmHg and pulse ±5%. Hungarian maker page instead gives blood pressure 20–280 mmHg and pulse 40–200 bpm; global support gives separate systolic/diastolic ranges but pulse 40–200. Cuff-pressure display 0–299 is separate
Clinical validation
Clinical validation	Current 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 Medaval lists a Stride BP derivative recommendation based on equivalence to BM 28 via Globalcare GCE603, but says unpublished equivalence results cannot be verified to MDR requirements.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 omitted	STRIDE BP lists A2 Classic as equivalent to BP A100, for adults and diabetes with 22–42 and 32–52 cm cuffs. Headline reflects registry acceptance by equivalence, not a separate exact-model trial. Exact manual cites BP 3BT0-A technology; broad manufacturer special-population claims are not assigned as independently established exact-model trials
Features
Features	Irregular-heartbeat warning, coloured classification scale, electronic cuff-position check, automatic switch-off and battery indicator. No ECG, dedicated AFib screening, resting indicator or voice output	Ordinary irregular-heartbeat indication, threshold classification scale with 140/90 mark, low-battery indicator and automatic switch-off after approximately one minute. No dedicated AFib screening or app

Cuff
Cuff	Supplied universal cuff for 22–42 cm upper-arm circumference, replacement item 110.031; conventional hook-and-loop cuff rather than easyClip or easyLock	Supplied conical M-L cuff fits 22–42 cm in European and Thai maker pages. Manual separately lists optional S 17–22, M 22–32, L 32–42 and L-XL 32–52 cm; these are not all supplied

Bluetooth and app
Bluetooth and app	No	No
Memory
Memory	No 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 feature	Last 30 readings stored, with average displayed first on memory recall followed by individual values. Oldest overwritten when full; newly displayed reading can be excluded and stored history clears together. No clock-setting control, dated-reading recall or user-selector operation established. Hungarian page's translated 30-day wording is not used as a storage-duration claim
App
App	No Bluetooth connection from the monitor. Scan & Save captures the display with a smartphone camera into beurer HealthManager Pro rather than automatically transmitting measurements	–
Power
Power	Four 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 operation	Four 1.5 V AA alkaline cells, approximately 920 measurements with new batteries in January 2024 manual. Microlife DC 6 V, 600 mA adapter supported through dedicated socket; no battery current consumed when connected. NiMH cells supported with external charging, not charging inside the monitor

Display details
Display details	Non-illuminated LCD with black digits, maker 4.4 × 5.3 cm; physical START/STOP button. Manual IP21	LCD with ON/OFF and memory buttons, cuff and mains-adapter sockets; no time button. IP20 in January 2024 manual
Size
Size	120 × 90 × 40 mm (L × W × H). Manual and datasheet approximately 318 g with cuff and without batteries; current product table's 362 g excluding packaging has unspecified weighing conditions	120 × 87 × 59 mm; 375 g including batteries in exact global support, European maker page and manual
In the box
In the box	Monitor, universal upper-arm cuff, four AAA batteries and instructions according to the datasheet and manual. Product page additionally lists a blood pressure record; mains adapter sold separately	European maker lists four AA alkaline cells, blood-pressure diary and M-L 22–42 cm cuff, with adapter optional. Thai regional bundle also includes textile storage bag, instructions and DC6V600mA adapter; this does not establish adapter inclusion in every region.
