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	Semi-automatic oscillometric upper-arm measurement. User inflates cuff with pump ball; electronic measurement follows during deflation. Quick-acting valve releases remaining air. No MAM automatic triple mode. 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	Current April 2024 exact guide gives systolic 60–255 and diastolic 40–200 mmHg, pulse 40–199 bpm; global support pulse upper limit is 200. Older MD-V4 English guide gives blood pressure 20–280 mmHg and pulse 40–200. Static pressure accuracy ±3 mmHg and pulse accuracy ±5%; 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 Medaval lists a Stride BP derivative recommendation based on equivalence to BM 28 via Globalcare GCE603, but says unpublished equivalence results cannot be verified to MDR requirements.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	Current guide claims shared BP 3BTO-A/BIHS technology, while older exact English guide names BP 3BTO-H/ESH. Ukrainian product page claims ISO validation. Medaval reports no peer-reviewed exact N1 Basic validation evidence and bounded STRIDE search recovered none; independent exact validation unresolved, headline validation 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	Generic PAD pulse-arrhythmia indication, not AFib-specific screening or ECG. Hypertension warning, pump-up/air-discharge and low-battery indicators. No date/time controls. Regional page advertises cuff-fit and movement checks; exact guide's labelled display has no separate cuff-fit icon, so feature conflict remains qualified
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	Current exact guide explicitly supplies M 22–32 cm cuff, agreeing with Ukrainian maker page's straight M cuff. Optional M-L 22–42 and L 32–42 cm in current guide; L requires black deflation valve. Pump and cuff can use either pneumatic pin; not dual-arm electronic measurement

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	One 30-reading history, oldest overwritten when full. Dedicated memory button recalls older results. Removing batteries clears all saved readings; no timestamps, user selector or automatic averaging. Latest displayed reading can be excluded before storage
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 PC-transfer function in exact controls
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	Two 1.5 V AAA alkaline cells, approximately 780 measurements with new batteries. Older exact English guide permits externally charged NiMH. April 2024 guide's technical table additionally lists optional DC 6 V, 600 mA adaptor, but its labelled controls and operating instructions show no mains socket or procedure; this conflict does not establish usable mains support
Design
Display details
Display details	Non-illuminated LCD with black digits, maker 4.4 × 5.3 cm; physical START/STOP button. Manual IP21	LCD showing systolic, diastolic, pulse, PAD, memory number, battery and inflation/deflation indications. ON/OFF and memory buttons, two pneumatic pins. IP20
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 × 59 × 30 mm; 106 g including batteries in current guide and global support
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	Current guide establishes monitor, pump ball and supplied M 22–32 cm cuff; complete current regional accessory list not recovered
