Measuring
TypeUpper armUpper arm
Clinically validated–Yes
Irregular heartbeat detectionYesYes
AFib detection or ECGNoNo
MethodAutomatic 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 unresolvedAutomatic oscillometric upper-arm measurement; HEM-7154-E, distinct from M3 Comfort HEM-7155-E and M3 Comfort AFib HEM-7196-FLE. First on-sale date not established
AccuracyManual 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 separateMaker'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 validationCurrent 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 Medaval lists a Stride BP derivative recommendation based on equivalence to BM 28 via Globalcare GCE603, but says unpublished equivalence results cannot be verified to MDR requirements.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 omittedMaker manual states an 85-subject clinical investigation under EN ISO 81060-2:2014 and compliance with 2014 and 2019+A1:2020; K5 is used for diastolic pressure. No additional population validation is inferred, and blood pressure validation does not establish diagnostic accuracy of rhythm indicators
FeaturesIrregular-heartbeat warning, coloured classification scale, electronic cuff-position check, automatic switch-off and battery indicator. No ECG, dedicated AFib screening, resting indicator or voice outputIrregular-heartbeat, body-movement, cuff-wrap and high-blood-pressure indicators. No AFib detection or ECG recording; the manual supports displaying the average of the latest two or three readings taken within ten minutes, despite the UK web table marking averaging as absent. This is distinct from automatic consecutive three-reading measurement; the UK page's generic Upper Arm BPM & ECG category label does not describe an ECG capability on this model
Cuff
Cuff fits22–42 cm22–42 cm
CuffSupplied universal cuff for 22–42 cm upper-arm circumference, replacement item 110.031; conventional hook-and-loop cuff rather than easyClip or easyLockIncluded HEM-RML31 Easy Cuff, 22–42 cm arm circumference; approximately 145 × 594 mm, 750 mm tube and 170 g
Connections and memory
Users–2
Readings stored–60 per user
Bluetooth and appNoNo
MemoryNo 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 featureUp to 60 readings per user for two users; guest mode takes a measurement without saving it
AppNo Bluetooth connection from the monitor. Scan & Save captures the display with a smartphone camera into beurer HealthManager Pro rather than automatically transmitting measurementsNo Bluetooth or OMRON connect support
PowerFour 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 operationFour AA batteries included, DC 6 V / 4 W; optional compatible AC adapter sold separately. Approximately 1000 measurements with new alkaline batteries and the included cuff, depending on batteries and cuff
