| Type | Upper arm | Upper arm |
| Clinically validated | – | Yes |
| Irregular heartbeat detection | Yes | Yes |
| AFib detection or ECG | No | No |
| Method | Automatic oscillometric upper-arm measurement during inflation. Exact UK item 10350, EAN 4211125103507; manual model BM 48, technical type BM 48/1. Announced at IFA on 6 September 2024 with planned German availability from October 2024; actual first sale unresolved | Automatic oscillometric upper-arm measurement during deflation; technical model BPHJA2-B, reference BP B1 BT. Gentle+ optimises inflation pressure and deflation speed. First on-sale date unresolved |
| Accuracy | Manual display accuracy ±3 mmHg for systolic and diastolic pressure and ±5% for pulse; systolic range 50–280 mmHg, diastolic 30–200 mmHg and pulse 40–199 beats/minute. Maximum cuff pressure 300 mmHg is separate | Static pressure accuracy ±3 mmHg and pulse ±5% of readout; systolic 60–255 mmHg, diastolic 40–200 mmHg and pulse 40–199 beats/minute. Cuff-pressure display 0–299 mmHg is separate |
| Clinical validation | Current manual claims clinical testing to ISO 81060-2. Independent validation for exact current item 10350 not established; headline flag omitted | Exact STRIDE BP listing approves equivalence to BP B3 AFIB, whose adult ISO 81060-2:2018 validation study was published in 2021; cuff 22–42 cm. This is approved equivalence rather than a separate exact-model trial. Manufacturer UK page also cites inherited BIHS A/A claim |
| Features | Irregular-heartbeat warning, coloured classification scale, cuff-position check and HSD resting indicator. Automatic switch-off after approximately one minute and low-battery indicator. Single START/STOP button; no ECG, dedicated AFib screening or voice output | Ordinary irregular-heartbeat indication, cuff-fit check, arm-movement and cuff-pressure error warnings, three-level reading scale, low-battery indication and automatic switch-off after approximately one minute. No dedicated AFib algorithm or automatic triple-measurement sequence established by exact instructions |
| Cuff | ||
| Cuff fits | 22–42 cm | 22–42 cm |
| Cuff | Supplied conventional universal cuff for 22–42 cm upper-arm circumference, replacement item 110.031; no easyClip or easyLock mechanism | Supplied soft non-washable M–L cuff fits 22–42 cm; compatible cuff and connector required. Replacement cuffs must use the supplied matching connector. Spot-clean cuff with damp cloth; no machine or dishwasher washing |
| Connections and memory | ||
| Readings stored | – | 30 |
| Bluetooth and app | Yes | Yes |
| Memory | No calculated averages according to the product table. Complete operation section supplies Bluetooth settings but no on-device recall, user-selection or clock-setting controls. Website date/time claim and isolated saved-measurement/user paragraphs conflict with those controls; memory and user counts unresolved. Reading history is available through the app | Stores up to 30 readings with date/time and displays their average; oldest overwritten when full. New reading can be excluded, but saved history clears as a whole. Memory erased on battery removal. Manual pairing text refers to user selection 1/2 but exact controls have no user selector or separate per-user capacity; headline user count omitted |
| App | Bluetooth transfer to beurer HealthManager Pro; app stores readings and provides export. Automatic transmission can be enabled or disabled using a long press while the monitor is off. Manual publishes 2400–2483 MHz radio band and maximum 5 dBm transmission power, without a Bluetooth version | Bluetooth 5.0 (European manufacturer page), Bluetooth Low Energy (manual), transfers readings to Microlife Connected Health+ on Android/iOS. Wireless transfer starts after measurement or with Bluetooth/time button and switches off after two minutes without a connection. USB-C is a power input, not an established wired data connection |
| Power | Four included 1.5 V LR03 AAA batteries; approximately 300 measurements depending on blood pressure, inflation pressure and number of Bluetooth connections. Optional USB-C mains input 5 V DC / 1 A; remove batteries for mains use. Not battery charging. Manual EU adapter 072.78 and UK adapter 072.79 | Four 1.5 V LR3 AAA alkaline batteries, approximately 400 measurements. Rechargeable NiMH cells supported but must be removed and charged externally. Optional USB-C adapter model DSA-5PF21-05, 100–240 V input and 5 V 1 A 5 W output; batteries are not charged by the monitor |
