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	Automatic oscillometric upper-arm measurement during deflation; exact European technical model BP3KQ1-1E, reference BP B1 Smart. First on-sale date not 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 the readout; systolic range 60–255 mmHg, diastolic 40–200 mmHg and pulse 40–199 beats/minute. 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 Medaval lists a Stride BP derivative recommendation based on equivalence to BM 28 via Globalcare GCE603, but says unpublished equivalence results cannot be verified to MDR requirements.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	European page displays an ESH badge and BIHS A/A wording; exact manual footnote refers to measuring technology used by BP 3BTO-A. Independent validation of exact BP3KQ1-1E not established; 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	Gentle+ pressure/speed control, irregular-heartbeat symbol, low-battery indicator and automatic switch-off. No dedicated AFib algorithm, ECG recording or Bluetooth in this exact European one-button model; Italian Bluetooth hardware sharing the B1 Smart name is a different regional identity
Cuff
Cuff fits
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 soft M–L cuff fits 22–42 cm arms; compatible cuff connector required. Website calls the cover washable in one feature paragraph but the supplied cuff non-washable in specifications; manual forbids machine/dishwasher washing
Connections and memory
Readings stored
Readings stored	–	1
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 only the last result, recalled by holding ON/OFF while the device is off; stored reading deleted when batteries are removed. No multi-reading history, averages, clock setting or separate user selection 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 LR3 AAA alkaline batteries; approximately 400 measurements with alkaline cells. Rechargeable NiMH cells supported but charged externally; no mains-input socket established in exact controls or technical table

Display details
Display details	Non-illuminated LCD with black digits, maker 4.4 × 5.3 cm; physical START/STOP button. Manual IP21	Monochrome LCD and a single ON/OFF control. Exact April 2026 English manual rates the device IP21
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	115 × 86 × 43 mm; 245 g including batteries
