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 establishedAutomatic oscillometric upper-arm measurement during deflation; Gentle+ adaptive pressure and speed control. No confirmed first on-sale date established
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 validationStatic pressure accuracy ±3 mmHg, pulse ±5% of readout; systolic range 60–255 mmHg and diastolic 40–200 mmHg. Current manual pulse range 40–199 beats/minute takes precedence over website 40–200; cuff-pressure display range 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 the exact B1 Classic as an approved equivalent to BP B3 AFIB, whose adult ISO 81060-2:2018 validation was published in 2021; 22–42 cm cuff listed. This is approved equivalence, not a separate B1 Classic trial. Manufacturer's BIHS A/A manual footnote refers to BP 3BTO-A measuring technology
FeaturesSingle start/stop button, cuff fit check, irregular heartbeat warning, classification scale and automatic switch-off; maker lists no resting indicator or calculated averagesOrdinary irregular-heartbeat indication, cuff-fit check, arm-movement and cuff-pressure error indicators, low-battery warning, three-level reading scale and automatic switch-off after approximately one minute. No dedicated AFib algorithm or automatic MAM triple-measurement mode established
Cuff
Cuff fits22–42 cm22–42 cm
CuffSupplied upper-arm cuffSupplied non-washable soft M–L cuff fits 22–42 cm. Manual also permits M 22–32 cm and optional pre-shaped cuffs, but excludes other Microlife cuff sizes. Spot-clean with damp cloth and soapsuds; no machine or dishwasher washing
Connections and memory
Readings stored–30
Bluetooth and appNoNo
Memory–Stores the last 30 readings with date/time and displays their average; readings with suboptimal cuff fit excluded from the average. Oldest overwritten when full. A new result can be excluded, while stored history clears as a whole rather than individually. All stored readings deleted when batteries are removed; no separate user profiles established
AppScan & Save in beurer HealthManager Pro uses a smartphone camera to record the display; no Bluetooth connection–
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 AAA alkaline batteries; approximately 400 measurements with new cells. Website calls it rechargeable-battery-friendly, without an internal charging claim. Current manual technical table lists optional DC 6 V 600 mA mains adapter, although its labelled control diagram omits an adapter socket; connection availability therefore needs exact-unit confirmation
