Overview
Released––
Measuring
TypeUpper armUpper arm
Clinically validated–Yes
Irregular heartbeat detectionYesYes
AFib detection or ECG–No
MethodAutomatic oscillometric upper-arm measurement during deflation; first on-sale date not establishedOscillometric upper-arm measurement during deflation. Side switch selects a single measurement or MAM mode, which analyses three readings with 15-second pauses into one displayed result. Individual MAM results are not displayed; a fourth measurement is taken if one is questionable. 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 validationExact April 2020 English/Greek guide gives blood pressure 20–280 mmHg, pulse 40–200 bpm, static accuracy ±3 mmHg and pulse accuracy ±5%. Current global support instead separates systolic 60–255 and diastolic 40–200 mmHg; range difference remains explicit. Cuff-pressure display 0–299 mmHg is separate
Clinical validationBeurer states clinical testing to ISO 81060-2 in the manual; exact independent registry confirmation was not establishedSTRIDE BP lists an exact-model diabetes study using ANSI/AAMI/ISO 2013, published in 2018, and adult acceptance by equivalence to BP A100. Published Beime study abstract reports 85 diabetic participants aged 56–88 and passing both protocol criteria; this does not establish every population in broad maker claims. Registry lists 22–42 and 32–52 cm validated cuffs
FeaturesSingle start/stop button, cuff fit check, irregular heartbeat warning, classification scale and automatic switch-off; maker lists no resting indicator or calculated averagesPulse Arrhythmia Detection indicates pulse irregularities, not a separate AFib algorithm or ECG. Cuff-fit and arm-movement indicators, coloured classification scale and low-battery warning; automatic switch-off after approximately one minute
Cuff
Cuff fits22–42 cm–
CuffSupplied upper-arm cuffExact guide lists S 17–22, M 22–32, M-L 22–42, L 32–42 and L-XL 32–52 cm cuffs and optional preformed Easy cuffs. Recovered support record does not establish the supplied size, so headline cuff range is omitted. Guide describes removable bladder and hand-washable cuff cover; do not wash bladder
Connections and memory
Users–2
Readings stored–99 per user
Bluetooth and appNoNo
Memory–User switch selects one of two separate histories, each storing 99 dated readings. First recall shows average of all stored values, followed by individual history. Oldest overwritten when full. All values for selected user can be cleared, but individual stored values cannot; a newly displayed result can be excluded before storage. History survives battery replacement while clock requires resetting
AppScan & Save in beurer HealthManager Pro uses a smartphone camera to record the display; no Bluetooth connectionUSB PC link to Microlife Blood Pressure Analyzer+ using Mini-B 5-pin connector. Computer controls device during connection. No Bluetooth or mobile-app transfer. Current software compatibility must be checked separately rather than inferred from old CDs
PowerFour 1.5 V LR03 AAA batteries or optional DC 5 V, 1 A mains adaptor through USB-C; USB-C is for mains operation, not charging the disposable batteriesFour 1.5 V AA alkaline cells; approximately 920 measurements with new batteries, without a separate MAM-cycle count. Optional Microlife DC 6 V, 600 mA adapter stops battery-current use when connected. NiMH cells supported but require external charging
