Overview
Released––
Measuring
TypeUpper armUpper arm
Clinically validated–Yes
Irregular heartbeat detectionYesNo
AFib detection or ECGNoNo
MethodAutomatic oscillometric upper-arm measurement during deflation; BM 27 item 65818, distinct from BM 27+ and regional Limited Edition models. First on-sale date unconfirmedSemi-automatic oscillometric upper-arm measurement with capacitive pressure sensor. Hand inflation using pump integrated into handle; automatic deflation and digital pressure/pulse results. O/I button interrupts measurement and releases cuff pressure. Actual first retail date unresolved
AccuracyMaker specifies systolic and diastolic display accuracy ±3 mmHg and pulse ±5%; systolic range 50–280 mmHg, diastolic 30–200 mmHg and pulse 40–199 beats/minuteFebruary 2024 exact guide gives systolic/diastolic range 20–280 mmHg, pulse 40–200 bpm, 1 mmHg pressure resolution, static pressure accuracy ±3 mmHg and pulse accuracy ±5% of reading
Clinical validationMaker claims clinical validation and ESH recognition, while its datasheet names technical identity to BPM63S. Medaval reports equivalence without published evidence or verifiable MDR compliance, rather than a directly published exact-device validation study; independent validation flag omittedNathan and colleagues, Blood Pressure Monitoring 2015, tested exact Microlife 3AS1-2 in 45 pregnant women including 15 with pre-eclampsia. Overall B/A grade under the British Hypertension Society protocol and passed the study's ISO mean-difference standard; pregnancy-only subgroup A/A. These are study-specific findings, not evidence for every population named in generic maker text
FeaturesCuff-fit check, irregular-heartbeat warning, classification scale and automatic switch-off; no HSD resting indicator, AFib screening or ECGManual inflation, automatic measurement/deflation, low-battery and inflation indicators. Flashing heart indicates detected pulse, not irregular-heartbeat screening. No AFib detection, ECG or automatic triple-measurement mode

MemoryFour users with 30 readings each; averages of all saved readings and morning/evening values from the latest seven daysOne latest measurement retained until the next measurement or battery removal. Hold O/I for at least three seconds to recall. No dated history, user selector or averaging
AppNo Bluetooth; HealthManager Pro Scan & Save uses a smartphone camera to capture the monitor displayNo Bluetooth, USB or phone-app transfer
PowerFour 1.5 V LR6 AA batteries included; approximately 700 measurements depending on blood pressure and inflation pressure; no mains adaptor operation for this exact itemTwo 1.5 V AAA alkaline cells; approximately 780 measurements using new batteries. Current guide does not recommend 1.2 V rechargeable cells. Generic guarantee wording about an optional adaptor does not establish a mains socket or mains operation
