Beurer BM 51 easyClip vs Microlife BP 3AS1-2
Better figure, where one is clearly better
| BeurerBM 51 easyClip | MicrolifeBP 3AS1-2 | |
|---|---|---|
| Overview | ||
| Released | – | – |
| Measuring | ||
| Type | Upper arm | Upper arm |
| Clinically validated | – | Yes |
| Irregular heartbeat detection | Yes | No |
| AFib detection or ECG | No | No |
| Method | Automatic 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 day | Semi-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 |
| Accuracy | Manual 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 separate | February 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 validation | Maker 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 omitted | Nathan 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 |
| Features | Irregular-heartbeat warning, coloured classification scale, cuff-fit check and automatic switch-off. No ECG, dedicated AFib detection, resting indicator or voice output | Manual 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 |
| Cuff | ||
| Cuff fits | 22–42 cm | 22–32 cm |
| Cuff | Supplied 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 systems | Supplied M 22–32 cm cuff; optional L 32–42 cm. Single-tube cuff with T-connector attaches at the back of the device |
| Connections and memory | ||
| Users | 2 (better) | 1 |
| Readings stored | 100 per user (better) | 1 |
| Bluetooth and app | No | No |
| Memory | Two 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 history | One 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 |
| App | No 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 monitor | No Bluetooth, USB or phone-app transfer |
| Power | Four 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 operation | Two 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 |
| Design | ||
| Display details | White 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 IP22 | LCD showing systolic, diastolic and pulse readings; single O/I button. IP20 |
| Size | Manual 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 conditions | 68 × 186 × 48.5 mm (width × length × height); 310 g including batteries, excluding cuff in global support table |
| In the box | Monitor, easyClip 22–42 cm cuff, four AA batteries, storage bag and instructions. Current product page additionally lists a blood pressure record; mains supply sold separately | Exact guide establishes monitor with integrated pump and M 22–32 cm cuff; complete regional accessory list unresolved |
