Overview
Released–2014
Measuring
TypeUpper armUpper arm
Irregular heartbeat detectionYesYes
AFib detection or ECGNoNo
MethodAutomatic oscillometric upper-arm measurement during inflation; exact UK item 65204. First-sale date unresolved; maker launch notice dated 14 January 2020 does not confirm the first retail dayAutomatic oscillometric upper-arm measurement during inflation; exact UK item 65803. July 2014 retail test establishes the sale year; first-sale month unconfirmed
AccuracyManual display accuracy ±3 mmHg for systolic and diastolic pressure and ±5% for pulse; systolic range 60–255 mmHg, diastolic 40–200 mmHg and pulse 40–199 beats/minute. Cuff-pressure range 0–300 mmHg is separateMaker display accuracy ±3 mmHg for systolic and diastolic pressure and ±5% for pulse; systolic range 60–260 mmHg, diastolic 40–199 mmHg and pulse 40–180 beats/minute. Cuff-pressure range 0–300 mmHg is separate
Clinical validationMaker datasheet and launch notice claim ESH clinical validation, but Medaval reports no peer-reviewed exact-device validation evidence. Independently established clinical validation remains unresolved; headline flag omittedMaker datasheet claims technical identity with BP3ESH5 and ESH validation. Medaval records a specific-population study using a non-standard protocol and unpublished internal DHL data; independent standard-protocol exact-device validation not established, so headline flag omitted
FeaturesIrregular-heartbeat warning, coloured classification scale, cuff-fit check and automatic switch-off. No ECG, dedicated AFib detection, resting indicator or voice outputIrregular-heartbeat warning, coloured LED classification scale, HSD haemodynamic resting indicator and cuff holder. No ECG or dedicated AFib screening; current UK table says no electronic cuff-fit check
Cuff
Cuff fits22–42 cm22–42 cm
CuffSupplied easyClip universal cuff for 22–42 cm upper-arm circumference, replacement item 164.161. Spring bracket opens for attachment before the hook-and-loop fastener is secured; distinct from easyLock cuff systemsCurrent maker manual and UK bundle specify 22–42 cm circumference. Technik zu Hause's 2014 tested bundle supplied a 22–36 cm cuff with a separate optional 35–44 cm cuff; current supplied cuff is not inferred from the old review
Connections and memory
Users22
Readings stored100 per user (better)60 per user
Bluetooth and appNoYes
MemoryTwo users with 100 dated readings each; oldest overwritten when full. Averages of all stored readings and morning/evening readings over the latest seven days. Holding both function buttons for five seconds deletes the selected user's complete historyTwo users with 60 dated readings each; oldest overwritten when full. Averages of all stored readings and morning/evening readings over the latest seven days. Deletion clears the entire selected user memory; individual readings cannot be deleted
AppNo Bluetooth or radio transfer. Maker Scan & Save feature uses a smartphone camera to read the display into beurer HealthManager Pro; it is not a connection from the monitorBluetooth Low Energy transfer to beurer HealthManager Pro; USB transfer uses the HealthManager Pro USB uploader and permits app/web viewing. Current manual states compatibility with Bluetooth 4.0 smartphones/tablets; the 2021 datasheet lists Bluetooth 5.0 among supported-device requirements, not an exact monitor radio version
PowerFour 1.5 V LR6 AA alkaline batteries included; manual approximately 500 measurements depending on blood pressure and inflation pressure. Optional 6 V DC / 600 mA mains supply; manual lists EU item 071.95 and UK item 072.05. Batteries are removed for mains operationBuilt-in 3.7 V / 400 mAh lithium-ion battery; approximately 50 measurements per charge depending on blood pressure and pump pressure. USB charging from PC or supplied USB mains part; minimum two-hour recharge instruction when depleted. This is rechargeable battery operation, despite the web table's mains-operated label

Display detailsWhite illuminated display with black digits, maker 7.4 × 6.4 cm; physical START/STOP, SET, memory and plus/minus buttons. Date/time and low-battery indicator; manual IP22Illuminated LCD with black digits, maker 7.0 × 6.5 cm; illuminated sensor touch controls, date/time and battery level. IPX0 according to manual
SizeManual and current web dimensions 138 × 103 × 46 mm (L × W × H); 2021 datasheet instead states 44 mm height. Manual approximately 570 g with cuff and without batteries, datasheet 571 g under the same conditions; current web table's 711 g excluding packaging has unspecified weighing conditionsManual 180 × 99 × 40 mm (L × W × H), approximately 456 g with cuff. Datasheet also gives 456 g but says without batteries despite the built-in cell. Web table gives 51 mm height and 638 g excluding packaging without comparable conditions; retained as source differences
In the boxMonitor, easyClip 22–42 cm cuff, four AA batteries, storage bag and instructions. Current product page additionally lists a blood pressure record; mains supply sold separatelyMonitor, cuff, cuff holder, USB cable, USB mains part and storage pouch; instructions and quick-start guide available from maker. Regional supplied plug differs; current UK table identifies Euro plug
