Overview

Measuring
TypeUpper armUpper arm
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. Single 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 separate2025 Italian 4G guide and global support give systolic 60–255 mmHg, diastolic 40–200 mmHg and pulse 40–200 bpm. April 2024 English guide and Italian web product table give blood pressure 20–280 mmHg and pulse 40–200. Static pressure ±3 mmHg and pulse ±5%; 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 Medaval lists a Stride BP derivative recommendation based on equivalence to BM 28 via Globalcare GCE603, but says unpublished equivalence results cannot be verified to MDR requirements.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 omittedMaker claims BIHS A/A and use of the same measuring technology as BP 3BT0-A. Medaval's exact BP 3GQ1-1P assessment reports no peer-reviewed validation evidence found. Independent exact-model validation remains unresolved; broad maker special-population claims are not treated as 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, low-battery warning and automatic switch-off after approximately one minute. April 2024 guide describes a traffic-light classification indicator; Italian product page calls it three levels while that guide describes four ranges. 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 easyLockItalian bundle supplies soft M-L 22–42 cm cuff. Exact 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 featureStores the last completed result only. While switched off, hold ON/OFF and release when the display elements appear to recall it. Exact maker product table and 2018, 2024 and 2025 operating guides agree on one-reading memory; no average, clock-setting or user-selection 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. Optional Microlife DC 6 V, 600 mA adapter uses dedicated socket and stops battery-current consumption when connected. NiMH cells supported but require external charging

Display detailsNon-illuminated LCD with black digits, maker 4.4 × 5.3 cm; physical START/STOP button. Manual IP21LCD and one ON/OFF button, cuff and mains-adapter sockets. IP20 in exact operating guides
Size120 × 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 conditions135.5 × 82 × 57 mm; 338 g including batteries and excluding cuff in global support and exact operating guides. Italian web page instead lists 388 g including batteries; conflicting figure retained here rather than silently substituted
In the boxMonitor, 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 separatelyItalian maker lists four AA cells, operating manual and soft M-L 22–42 cm cuff; adapter optional. Product link is Italian maker page; global support and linked manuals include English. Regional bundled adapters do not establish universal inclusion
