January 2024 exact manual describes pumping followed by gradual pressure reduction; no automatic multi-measurement mode. First actual on-sale date unresolved
AccuracyMaker manual specifies display accuracy of ±3 mmHg for systolic and diastolic pressure and ±5% of the displayed pulse value; this specification is distinct from clinical validationJanuary 2024 E-V10 manual gives systolic 60–255 mmHg, diastolic 40–200 mmHg and pulse 40–199 bpm; static pressure ±3 mmHg and pulse ±5%. Hungarian maker page instead gives blood pressure 20–280 mmHg and pulse 40–200 bpm; global support gives separate systolic/diastolic ranges but pulse 40–200. Cuff-pressure display 0–299 is separate
Clinical validationBeurer states clinical testing to ISO 81060-2 in the manual; exact independent registry confirmation was not establishedSTRIDE BP lists A2 Classic as equivalent to BP A100, for adults and diabetes with 22–42 and 32–52 cm cuffs. Headline reflects registry acceptance by equivalence, not a separate exact-model trial. Exact manual cites BP 3BT0-A technology; broad manufacturer special-population claims are not assigned as independently established exact-model trials
