Measuring
Type
Type	Upper arm	Upper arm
Irregular heartbeat detection
Irregular heartbeat detection	Yes	Yes
AFib detection or ECG
AFib detection or ECG	No	No
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 with Gentle+ pressure control. Side switch selects single measurement or MAM mode; three readings with 15-second pauses produce one analysed result. Individual MAM results are not displayed; a fourth 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	Current 26 June 2025 UK-linked S-V10-1 guide gives systolic 60–255 mmHg, diastolic 40–200 mmHg, pulse 40–199 bpm, static accuracy ±3 mmHg and pulse accuracy ±5%. UK product page instead gives blood pressure 20–280 mmHg and pulse 40–200; global support also gives pulse 40–200. Range differences retained; 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 Medaval lists a Stride BP derivative recommendation based on equivalence to BM 28 via Globalcare GCE603, but says unpublished equivalence results cannot be verified to MDR requirements.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	Maker claims BIHS A/A and shared measurement technology with BP 3BTO-A, but Medaval reports no peer-reviewed validation evidence for exact BP A3 Plus BP 3GX1-5N. Independent exact-model validation remains unresolved, so headline flag is omitted. A3 PC diabetes study is not transferred to this non-PC model
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	Irregular-heartbeat indication, not a dedicated AFib algorithm or ECG. Cuff-fit and arm-movement indicators, coloured classification scale, low-battery warning and automatic switch-off after approximately one minute
Cuff

Cuff fits	22–42 cm	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	UK bundle supplies conical soft M-L 22–42 cm cuff. Current guide lists optional S 17–22, M 22–32, L 32–42 and L-XL 32–52 cm sizes and preformed cuffs; these are not all supplied

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	Two separate histories of 99 dated readings each, selected with user switch. First memory recall displays average of all stored values (current guide labels this 28A without defining a narrower period). Oldest overwritten when full. All stored readings for selected user can be cleared, but not individual stored values; freshly displayed reading can be excluded. History survives battery replacement while clock requires reset
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	No Bluetooth, phone app or USB PC-transfer interface in exact guide and current hardware views. Separate A3 PC model has USB; its software support is not transferred
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 triple-cycle count. Optional Microlife DC 6 V, 600 mA adapter stops battery-current use when connected. NiMH cells supported with 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. DC adapter socket. 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 current guide and maker pages
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	UK maker lists conical soft M-L 22–42 cm cuff, four AA alkaline cells, textile soft bag and blood-pressure diary. Adapter optional. Current guide's isolated wrist-measurement paragraph conflicts with its upper-arm intended use and cuff table and is not copied as device type
