Overview
Released––
Measuring
TypeUpper armUpper arm
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 with Gentle+ pressure control. Side switch selects single measurement or MAM mode; three readings with 15-second pauses produce one analysed result. Individual MAM results are not displayed; a fourth 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 validationCurrent 26 June 2025 UK-linked S-V10-1 guide gives systolic 60–255 mmHg, diastolic 40–200 mmHg, pulse 40–199 bpm, static accuracy ±3 mmHg and pulse accuracy ±5%. UK product page instead gives blood pressure 20–280 mmHg and pulse 40–200; global support also gives pulse 40–200. Range differences retained; 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 establishedMaker claims BIHS A/A and shared measurement technology with BP 3BTO-A, but Medaval reports no peer-reviewed validation evidence for exact BP A3 Plus BP 3GX1-5N. Independent exact-model validation remains unresolved, so headline flag is omitted. A3 PC diabetes study is not transferred to this non-PC model
FeaturesSingle start/stop button, cuff fit check, irregular heartbeat warning, classification scale and automatic switch-off; maker lists no resting indicator or calculated averagesIrregular-heartbeat indication, not a dedicated AFib algorithm or ECG. Cuff-fit and arm-movement indicators, coloured classification scale, low-battery warning and automatic switch-off after approximately one minute
Cuff
Cuff fits22–42 cm22–42 cm
CuffSupplied upper-arm cuffUK bundle supplies conical soft M-L 22–42 cm cuff. Current guide lists optional S 17–22, M 22–32, L 32–42 and L-XL 32–52 cm sizes and preformed cuffs; these are not all supplied
Connections and memory
Users–2
Readings stored–99 per user
Bluetooth and appNoNo
Memory–Two separate histories of 99 dated readings each, selected with user switch. First memory recall displays average of all stored values (current guide labels this 28A without defining a narrower period). Oldest overwritten when full. All stored readings for selected user can be cleared, but not individual stored values; freshly displayed reading can be excluded. History survives battery replacement while clock requires reset
AppScan & Save in beurer HealthManager Pro uses a smartphone camera to record the display; no Bluetooth connectionNo Bluetooth, phone app or USB PC-transfer interface in exact guide and current hardware views. Separate A3 PC model has USB; its software support is not transferred
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 triple-cycle count. Optional Microlife DC 6 V, 600 mA adapter stops battery-current use when connected. NiMH cells supported with external charging

In the boxMonitor, 22–42 cm cuff and four AAA batteriesUK maker lists conical soft M-L 22–42 cm cuff, four AA alkaline cells, textile soft bag and blood-pressure diary. Adapter optional. Current guide's isolated wrist-measurement paragraph conflicts with its upper-arm intended use and cuff table and is not copied as device type
