Maximum cuff pressure 300 mmHg is separateMaker pressure accuracy ±3 mmHg and pulse accuracy ±5% of displayed reading; systolic range 60–260 mmHg, diastolic 40–215 mmHg and pulse 40–180 beats/minute
Clinical validationCurrent manual claims clinical testing to ISO 81060-2. Independent validation for exact current item 10350 not established; headline flag omittedSTRIDE BP lists this exact model for adult home use by approved equivalence to Omron HEM-9200T, not a separately published exact-model trial. Medaval separately states the equivalence results are unpublished and cannot be verified for its MDR assessment. Maker manual cites an 85-subject EN ISO 81060-2:2014 investigation, excluding pregnant and pre-eclamptic patients, and compliance with 2019+A1:2020+A2:2024. These blood-pressure assessments do not establish diagnostic accuracy of rhythm indicators
FeaturesIrregular-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 outputIrregular-heartbeat, body-movement, cuff-wrap and high-blood-pressure indicators. No AFib screening or ECG recording
