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; 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	Maker manual specifies static pressure accuracy of ±3 mmHg and pulse accuracy of ±5% of the readout value; distinct from clinical validation
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 Medaval lists a Stride BP derivative recommendation based on equivalence to BM 28 via Globalcare GCE603, but says unpublished equivalence results cannot be verified to MDR requirements.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	Exact BP B1 Standard appears on STRIDE BP as an approved equivalent to BP B3 AFIB for home use in adults and people with diabetes, with a validated 22–42 cm cuff and a referenced 2021 ISO 81060-2:2018 study
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, cuff fit and movement checks, three-level classification scale, date/time and low-battery indicator

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	Soft M–L upper-arm cuff; UK maker specifies a non-washable cuff

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	One shared 30-reading memory and average of all stored readings; oldest reading overwritten when full. Exact current manual states removing batteries deletes the stored measurements
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 LR03 AAA batteries or optional DC 5 V, 1 A adaptor through USB-C in the current maker manual; NiMH batteries supported but must be charged externally. USB-C supplies power rather than data transfer

Display details
Display details	Non-illuminated LCD with black digits, maker 4.4 × 5.3 cm; physical START/STOP button. Manual IP21	LCD showing pressure, pulse, time and stored-reading indicators
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	130 × 93.5 × 52 mm; maker weight 240 g including batteries
