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; HEM-7188-E, distinct from M2+ HEM-7188-LE and earlier M2 generations. 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's pressure accuracy ±3 mmHg and pulse accuracy ±5% of displayed reading; systolic range 60–260 mmHg, diastolic 40–215 mmHg and pulse 40–180 beats/minute
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 Medaval lists a Stride BP derivative recommendation based on equivalence to BM 28 via Globalcare GCE603, but says unpublished equivalence results cannot be verified to MDR requirements.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	Maker manual states an 85-subject clinical investigation under EN ISO 81060-2:2014 and compliance with 2019, A1:2020 and A2:2024; investigation excludes pregnant and pre-eclamptic patients and uses K5 for diastolic pressure. Blood pressure validation does not establish diagnostic accuracy of rhythm indicators
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, body-movement, cuff-wrap and high-blood-pressure indicators. No AFib detection, ECG recording or automatic averaging; the UK page's generic Upper Arm BPM & ECG category label does not describe an ECG capability on this model
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	Included HEM-CR24 soft cuff, 22–32 cm arm circumference; approximately 146 × 466 mm, 610 mm tube and 110 g. Optional compatible cuffs cover other arm sizes; their range is not the included cuff's range

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	Up to 30 readings
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 or OMRON connect support
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 AA batteries included, DC 6 V / 4 W; optional compatible AC adapter sold separately. Approximately 900 measurements with new alkaline batteries and the included cuff, depending on batteries and cuff

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	Manual gives approximately 98 × 79 × 138 mm (W × H × L), differing from the UK web table's 172 × 117 × 117 mm; approximately 260 g without 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, HEM-CR24 cuff, four AA batteries and instruction manuals 1/2; no storage case
