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	Oscillometric upper-arm measurement during deflation. Side switch selects a single measurement or MAM mode, which analyses three readings with 15-second pauses into one displayed result. Individual MAM results are not displayed; a fourth measurement is taken if one is questionable. 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	Exact April 2020 English/Greek guide gives blood pressure 20–280 mmHg, pulse 40–200 bpm, static accuracy ±3 mmHg and pulse accuracy ±5%. Current global support instead separates systolic 60–255 and diastolic 40–200 mmHg; range difference remains explicit. Cuff-pressure display 0–299 mmHg 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 Medaval lists a Stride BP derivative recommendation based on equivalence to BM 28 via Globalcare GCE603, but says unpublished equivalence results cannot be verified to MDR requirements.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 an exact-model diabetes study using ANSI/AAMI/ISO 2013, published in 2018, and adult acceptance by equivalence to BP A100. Published Beime study abstract reports 85 diabetic participants aged 56–88 and passing both protocol criteria; this does not establish every population in broad maker claims. Registry lists 22–42 and 32–52 cm validated cuffs
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	Pulse Arrhythmia Detection indicates pulse irregularities, not a separate AFib algorithm or ECG. Cuff-fit and arm-movement indicators, coloured classification scale and low-battery warning; automatic switch-off after approximately one minute
Cuff
Cuff fits
Cuff fits	22–42 cm	–
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	Exact guide lists S 17–22, M 22–32, M-L 22–42, L 32–42 and L-XL 32–52 cm cuffs and optional preformed Easy cuffs. Recovered support record does not establish the supplied size, so headline cuff range is omitted. Guide describes removable bladder and hand-washable cuff cover; do not wash bladder
Connections and memory

Readings stored	–	99 per user
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	User switch selects one of two separate histories, each storing 99 dated readings. First recall shows average of all stored values, followed by individual history. Oldest overwritten when full. All values for selected user can be cleared, but individual stored values cannot; a newly displayed result can be excluded before storage. History survives battery replacement while clock requires resetting
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	USB PC link to Microlife Blood Pressure Analyzer+ using Mini-B 5-pin connector. Computer controls device during connection. No Bluetooth or mobile-app transfer. Current software compatibility must be checked separately rather than inferred from old CDs
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, without a separate MAM-cycle count. Optional Microlife DC 6 V, 600 mA adapter stops battery-current use when connected. NiMH cells supported but require external charging

Display details
Display details	Non-illuminated LCD with black digits, maker 4.4 × 5.3 cm; physical START/STOP button. Manual IP21	LCD with date/time and user indicator, ON/OFF, memory and time buttons, separate user and 1/3 MAM switches. USB and DC adapter sockets. IP20
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	143 × 85 × 58 mm; 368 g including batteries in exact guide and global support
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	Exact guide allows regional packages without cable or download voucher; complete original supplied bundle unresolved. Verified global archived specification/support record serves both resource types. English guide includes Greek regional guarantee wording; this is not a worldwide warranty claim
