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 monitor. Exact Ukrainian product page identifies IMT/Comfort+ measurement during inflation; June 2023 exact guide instead retains a step describing gradual pressure fall before the result. Maker-page IMT identity retained with that manual conflict explicit. MAM mode takes three measurements with 15-second pauses and displays one analysed result; a questionable reading triggers a fourth. Actual first retail 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	June 2023 guide and Ukrainian maker page publish blood pressure 20–280 mmHg and pulse 40–200 bpm; global support instead lists systolic 60–255 and diastolic 40–200 mmHg. Static pressure accuracy ±3 mmHg and pulse accuracy ±5% in guide. Cuff-pressure display range 0–299 mmHg is separate from measured blood pressure
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 Medaval lists a Stride BP derivative recommendation based on equivalence to BM 28 via Globalcare GCE603, but says unpublished equivalence results cannot be verified to MDR requirements.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 this exact model for adult home use by accepted equivalence to BP A200 Comfort, whose 2016 studies used ESH-IP 2010 and ANSI/AAMI/ISO 2013. This is not a separate published A3L Comfort trial. Medaval says the equivalence evidence is unpublished and cannot be independently verified against its MDR assessment requirements. Maker claims for pregnancy or other special populations are not established by this adult registry entry
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	Generic irregular-heartbeat indication, cuff-fit and arm-movement indicators, coloured pressure classification scale, low-battery warning and automatic switch-off after approximately one minute. No dedicated AFib algorithm or ECG
Cuff

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	Ukrainian maker bundle supplies conical soft M-L 22–42 cm cuff. Guide lists M 22–32, M-L 22–42 and L 32–42 cm, with optional pre-shaped cuffs and special connector instructions for optional S 17–22 cm. STRIDE lists validated sizes 17–22, 22–32, 22–42 and 32–52 cm; those are not all supplied

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 user histories with 99 dated readings each, selected by user switch. First recall shows average of all stored readings; guide labels this 28A but does not define a 28-day period. Oldest overwritten when full; selected user's complete history can be cleared, individual saved values cannot. Newly displayed result can be excluded from storage. Readings survive battery replacement but 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	USB Mini-B five-pin connection transfers stored readings to Microlife Blood Pressure Analyzer+ PC software. Monitor buttons are disabled during PC connection. No Bluetooth phone connection
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 in exact guide and Ukrainian bundle; global support incorrectly lists AAA. Approximately 920 measurements with new batteries, not a separately specified triple-cycle count. Optional Microlife DC 6 V, 600 mA adapter stops battery-current use while connected. NiMH cells supported with external charging

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; 385 g including batteries in exact 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	Ukrainian maker lists conical soft M-L 22–42 cm cuff, four AA alkaline cells, USB cable, textile bag and blood-pressure diary. Adapter optional; other regional bundles may differ
