Overview
Released––
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 during deflation for adults; exact maker manual specifies a pressure range of 30–260 mmHg and pulse range of 40–199 beats/minute. 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 specifies pressure accuracy within ±3 mmHg and pulse accuracy within ±5% of the reading; these specifications are separate from clinical validation
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 Medaval lists a Stride BP derivative recommendation based on equivalence to BM 28 via Globalcare GCE603, but says unpublished equivalence results cannot be verified to MDR requirements.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 the exact X3 model for adult home use through approved equivalence to Rossmax CF175, whose validation study used ESH-IP 2010 and was published in 2015; approved equivalence is not a direct X3 validation study
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 indication, loose-cuff and movement detection, hypertension risk scale, one-touch measurement and non-storing guest mode; inflation level is determined automatically. Irregular heartbeat indication does not identify AFib specifically
Cuff
Cuff fits22–42 cm24–40 cm
CuffSupplied universal cuff for 22–42 cm upper-arm circumference, replacement item 110.031; conventional hook-and-loop cuff rather than easyClip or easyLockLatex-free Universal Cone Cuff with cuff holder; other sizes are available on request
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 feature60 readings per user, 120 total, with date and time and an average of the last three stored readings; oldest reading is replaced when a user's memory is full. Guest readings are not stored
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; optional specially designed USB cable connects the data-link socket to Rossmax BP Manager PC software. Rossmax now states BP Manager PC software is discontinued and no longer available; the monitor remains usable independently
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 AAA batteries, DC 6 V; optional DC 6 V adaptor rated at least 600 mA. Automatic shutdown one minute after the last key operation
