Overview
Released––
Measuring
TypeUpper armUpper arm
Clinically validated–Yes
Irregular heartbeat detectionYesYes
AFib detection or ECGYesYes
MethodAutomatic oscillometric upper-arm measurement during deflation; first on-sale date not establishedOscillometric upper-arm measurement during deflation with Gentle+ pressure control. Side switch selects single measurement or AFIB/MAM mode; three measurements with 15-second pauses produce one analysed result. Individual results are not displayed; a fourth measurement is taken if one is questionable. First actual on-sale date unresolved
AccuracyMaker manual specifies display accuracy of ±3 mmHg for systolic and diastolic pressure and ±5% of the displayed pulse value; this specification is distinct from clinical validationExact November 2023 E-V10 guide gives systolic 60–255 mmHg, diastolic 40–200 mmHg, pulse 40–199 bpm, static accuracy ±3 mmHg and pulse accuracy ±5%. France page instead gives blood pressure 20–280 mmHg and pulse 40–200 bpm; global support also gives pulse 40–200. Range differences remain explicit. Cuff-pressure display 0–299 mmHg is separate
Clinical validationBeurer states clinical testing to ISO 81060-2 and suitability during pregnancy; exact independent registry confirmation was not establishedSTRIDE BP accepts equivalence to BP A100 for adult and diabetes populations, with 22–42 and 32–52 cm cuffs. Headline reflects registry acceptance by equivalence rather than a separate exact-model validation trial. Broad maker population and AFib accuracy claims are not treated as independent exact-model findings
FeaturesAdvanced arrhythmia indication including possible atrial fibrillation, automatic triple measurement, resting indicator, cuff fit check, classification scale and automatic switch-offAFib screening only operates in AFIB/MAM mode, not standard single measurements. It is not an ECG recording or diagnosis, despite stronger French product-page wording. Cuff-fit and arm-movement indicators, coloured classification scale, low-battery warning, heartbeat beeps and automatic switch-off after approximately one minute
Cuff

CuffSupplied upper-arm cuffFrance maker specifies a preformed M-L 22–42 cm cuff. Exact guide lists optional S 17–22, M 22–32, L 32–42 and L-XL 32–52 cm sizes; these are not all supplied

Memory100 readings per user; average of all saved readings and morning/evening readings from the last seven daysAutomatically stores the last 200 readings with date and time; oldest overwritten when full. M-button recalls previous readings and clears all history. Individual stored readings cannot be cleared, though a newly displayed result can be excluded before storage. History survives battery replacement but clock must be reset. No separate user selector established
AppScan & Save in beurer HealthManager Pro uses a smartphone camera to record the display; no Bluetooth connectionUSB PC link to Microlife Blood Pressure Analyzer+ software, using a Mini-B 5-pin connector. Computer controls the device during connection. No Bluetooth or mobile-app transfer; current software compatibility must be checked separately, not inferred from old software CDs
PowerFour 1.5 V AAA batteries or optional DC 5 V, 1 A mains adaptor; maker claims approximately 300 measurements depending on pressureFour 1.5 V AA alkaline cells; approximately 920 measurements with new batteries, without a separate AFIB/MAM-cycle count. Microlife DC 6 V, 600 mA adapter stops battery-current use when connected. NiMH cells supported with external charging. French supplied-items list includes adapter, while its voltage-source line and global guide call it optional; bundle difference unresolved

In the boxMonitor, 22–42 cm cuff, four AAA batteries and storage bag; maker product page also lists a blood pressure recordFrance maker lists storage bag, four AA cells, USB cable, BP Analyzer software, mains adapter, diary and M-L 22–42 cm cuff. Guide permits bundles without cable/download voucher and calls adapter optional. Product resource is French regional maker page; global support and multilingual guide include English. Guide's isolated wrist-cuff sentence conflicts with its upper-arm intended use and cuff table and is not transferred
