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-7155-E, distinct from M3 HEM-7154-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 Medaval lists a Stride BP derivative recommendation based on equivalence to BM 28 via Globalcare GCE603, but says unpublished equivalence results cannot be verified to MDR requirements.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 omittedSTRIDE BP lists this exact model for adults, diabetes and pregnancy/preeclampsia through approved equivalence to BP760N HEM-7320-Z, rather than three published exact-model trials. Medaval separately notes that the equivalence assessment is unpublished and its MDR compliance cannot be verified; rhythm indicators do not establish diagnostic accuracy
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, movement, cuff-wrap and high-blood-pressure indicators. Manual supports an average of the latest two or three readings within ten minutes, despite web-table averaging and high-pressure indicators being marked absent. No automatic consecutive three-reading mode, AFib screening or ECG recording

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-FL31 Intelli Wrap cuff, 22–42 cm arm circumference; approximately 145 × 532 mm, 750 mm tube and 163 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 measurements are not saved
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 AC adapter sold separately. Approximately 1000 measurements using new alkaline batteries
