Overview

Measuring
TypeUpper armUpper arm
Irregular heartbeat detectionYesYes
AFib detection or ECGNoNo
MethodAutomatic oscillometric upper-arm measurement during deflation. Exact UK item 65409, EAN 4211125654092; current linked March 2022 manual identifies model BM 35, type BM 35/1. First-sale date unconfirmedOscillometric upper-arm measurement during deflation. One automatic measurement started with ON/OFF button; no MAM triple-mode selector in exact guide. Actual first retail sale unresolved
AccuracyManual display accuracy ±3 mmHg for systolic and diastolic pressure and ±5% for pulse. Systolic range 60–280 mmHg, diastolic 30–200 mmHg and pulse 40–199 beats/minute; cuff-pressure range 0–300 mmHg is separateExact March 2023 guide gives blood pressure 20–280 mmHg and pulse 40–200 bpm; current global support instead lists systolic 60–255 and diastolic 40–200 mmHg. Static pressure accuracy ±3 mmHg and pulse accuracy ±5%; cuff-pressure display 0–299 mmHg is separate
Clinical validationMaker page displays ESH and German Hypertension Society labels. Medaval lists an ESH self-measurement recommendation for BM 35/1 and a Stride BP derivative claim, but says equivalence to Joytech DBP-1307 has not been demonstrated to MDR requirements. Headline independently established exact-device validation omitted while this evidence remains unresolvedExact guide claims shared measurement technology with BP 3BTO-A tested under BIHS protocol. Independent exact BP 3AG1 validation was not recovered in the bounded registry search, so headline validation is omitted. Broad special-population wording in maker guide is not promoted to independently established exact-model validation
FeaturesIrregular-heartbeat warning, coloured classification scale, date/time, application-error message and automatic switch-off. No ECG, dedicated AFib screening, electronic cuff-fit check, resting indicator or voice outputGeneric irregular-heartbeat indication, not AFib-specific screening or ECG recording. Low-battery warning, pulse indicator and automatic switch-off after approximately one minute. No date/time controls or automatic averaging mode in exact guide
Cuff
Cuff fits22–36 cm–
CuffSupplied standard cuff 22–36 cm, replacement item 163.537. Optional XL cuff 30–42 cm, item 162.973; headline circumference describes the supplied cuff, not the optional accessorySupplied cuff size not established in recovered global support and guide. Optional S 17–22, M 22–32, M-L 22–42 and L 32–42 cm cuffs and optional pre-shaped cuffs listed; these are not all supplied. Optional small cuff needs the connector from original supplied cuff
Connections and memory
Users2 (better)1
Readings stored60 per user (better)30
Bluetooth and appNoNo
MemoryTwo users with 60 dated readings each; oldest overwritten when full. Averages of all saved readings and morning/evening readings over the latest seven days. The manual's deletion sequence clears the selected user memory despite its misleading individual-deletion headingOne history of the last 30 readings, with no user selector or timestamps. First recall displays count then latest reading; repeated memory presses show earlier values. Oldest overwritten when full. Complete history can be cleared, individual saved values cannot; newly displayed reading can be excluded
AppNo Bluetooth or connection from the monitor. Scan & Save captures the display using a smartphone camera into beurer HealthManager Pro rather than automatically transferring readingsNo Bluetooth, USB socket or PC-transfer function in exact guide and labelled controls
PowerFour 1.5 V LR03 AAA alkaline batteries. Exact current manual claims approximately 250 measurements depending on blood pressure and pump pressure, while the current product table says approximately 300. No mains connection established in this exact manualFour 1.5 V AA alkaline cells; approximately 920 measurements with new batteries. Optional Microlife DC 6 V, 600 mA adapter stops battery-current use while connected. NiMH cells supported with external charging, not charged inside monitor
Design
Display detailsNon-illuminated LCD with black digits, maker 5.5 × 6.0 cm. Physical ON/OFF, memory and setting controls; low-battery and error indicators. Manual IPX0LCD with systolic, diastolic, pulse, irregular-heartbeat, battery and stored-value indications. ON/OFF and memory buttons, cuff and DC sockets. IP20
Size135 × 105 × 53 mm (L × W × H). Current manual approximately 327 g without batteries, without explicitly stating cuff inclusion; product table's 391 g excluding packaging has unspecified weighing conditions140 × 120 × 70 mm; 400 g including batteries in exact guide and global maker support
In the boxMonitor, standard upper-arm cuff, four AAA batteries, storage bag and instructions. Current product page additionally lists a blood pressure record; XL cuff sold separatelyExact global supplied-accessory list not recovered; optional cuff sizes and mains adapter are not treated as bundled. Guide filename contains 3AG1-30 and W identifiers while its exact cover and controls identify BP 3AG1; no cosmetic duplicate record created
