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	Automatic oscillometric upper-arm measurement during deflation; Gentle+ adaptive pressure and speed control. No confirmed first on-sale date established
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	Static pressure accuracy ±3 mmHg, pulse ±5% of readout; systolic range 60–255 mmHg and diastolic 40–200 mmHg. Current manual pulse range 40–199 beats/minute takes precedence over website 40–200; cuff-pressure display range 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 Medaval lists a Stride BP derivative recommendation based on equivalence to BM 28 via Globalcare GCE603, but says unpublished equivalence results cannot be verified to MDR requirements.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 the exact B1 Classic as an approved equivalent to BP B3 AFIB, whose adult ISO 81060-2:2018 validation was published in 2021; 22–42 cm cuff listed. This is approved equivalence, not a separate B1 Classic trial. Manufacturer's BIHS A/A manual footnote refers to BP 3BTO-A measuring technology
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	Ordinary irregular-heartbeat indication, cuff-fit check, arm-movement and cuff-pressure error indicators, low-battery warning, three-level reading scale and automatic switch-off after approximately one minute. No dedicated AFib algorithm or automatic MAM triple-measurement mode established
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	Supplied non-washable soft M–L cuff fits 22–42 cm. Manual also permits M 22–32 cm and optional pre-shaped cuffs, but excludes other Microlife cuff sizes. Spot-clean with damp cloth and soapsuds; no machine or dishwasher washing
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	Stores the last 30 readings with date/time and displays their average; readings with suboptimal cuff fit excluded from the average. Oldest overwritten when full. A new result can be excluded, while stored history clears as a whole rather than individually. All stored readings deleted when batteries are removed; no separate user profiles established
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	–
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 AAA alkaline batteries; approximately 400 measurements with new cells. Website calls it rechargeable-battery-friendly, without an internal charging claim. Current manual technical table lists optional DC 6 V 600 mA mains adapter, although its labelled control diagram omits an adapter socket; connection availability therefore needs exact-unit confirmation

Display details
Display details	Non-illuminated LCD with black digits, maker 4.4 × 5.3 cm; physical START/STOP button. Manual IP21	LCD with ON/OFF, memory and time controls; IP20 according to current manual
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	124 × 92 × 61 mm; 251 g including batteries
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	Monitor, 22–42 cm M–L cuff, four AAA alkaline batteries and blood-pressure diary listed by the European product page; instructions available from manufacturer
