Measuring
Type
Type	Upper arm	Upper arm
Irregular heartbeat detection
Irregular heartbeat detection	Yes	No
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	Fully manual auscultatory upper-arm measurement using stethoscope and aneroid gauge. Hand inflation and screw-controlled deflation; readings interpreted by the operator. Current guide specifies trained auscultatory users and adults over 18, at home or in healthcare environments. 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 2025 exact guide gives 0–300 mmHg range, 2 mmHg scale divisions, static accuracy within ±3 mmHg and air leakage under ±4 mmHg/min. Same guide has at-least-six-month recalibration wording and a two-month accuracy-testing interval; these differing maintenance statements are not combined into a single interval
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 Medaval lists a Stride BP derivative recommendation based on equivalence to BM 28 via Globalcare GCE603, but says unpublished equivalence results cannot be verified to MDR requirements.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	Current guide cites EN ISO 81060-1 and Class Im compliance with EU Medical Device Regulation. Regulatory compliance is separate from independent clinical validation; exact independent validation unresolved and headline omitted
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	Mechanical dial, pump ball and adjustable deflation valve. Ukrainian maker identifies built-in stethoscope. No automatic pressure or pulse calculation, irregular-heartbeat screening, AFib detection or ECG
Cuff
Cuff fits
Cuff fits	22–42 cm	22–32 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	Supplied soft M 22–32 cm cuff established by current global guide and Asia-Pacific product page; Ukrainian maker specifies a cuff ring
Connections and memory
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	No electronic storage; readings, date and time recorded separately by the operator
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, USB or phone app
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	Mechanical operation without batteries or mains power
Design
Display details
Display details	Non-illuminated LCD with black digits, maker 4.4 × 5.3 cm; physical START/STOP button. Manual IP21	Analogue manometer with pointer; no LCD
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	175 × 70 × 103 mm and 450 g in global support and Asia-Pacific product page. Current exact guide states weight up to 450 g; component weights not separated
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	Asia-Pacific maker lists sphygmomanometer, stethoscope, M22–32 cuff, bulb and valve, and soft bag. Current guide identifies manometer, cuff, pump ball, valve, stethoscope, chestpiece and earpieces
