Method
Method	Automatic oscillometric upper-arm measurement during deflation; first on-sale date not established	Oscillometric upper-arm measurement during deflation with Gentle+ control. Single or AFIB/MAM triple mode selected by side switch; three readings separated by 15 seconds produce one analysed result. Individual results are not displayed; questionable reading triggers a fourth. Actual first retail sale unresolved
Accuracy
Accuracy	Maker 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 validation	Exact 19 June 2024 guide gives systolic 60–255 mmHg, diastolic 40–200 mmHg and pulse 40–199 bpm; global support gives pulse 40–200. Ukrainian maker page gives blood pressure 20–280 mmHg and pulse 40–200; range differences retained. Static pressure accuracy ±3 mmHg and pulse accuracy ±5%; cuff-pressure display 0–299 mmHg is separate
Clinical validation
Clinical validation	Beurer states clinical testing to ISO 81060-2 and suitability during pregnancy; exact independent registry confirmation was not established	STRIDE BP accepts exact BP A6 PC for adult and diabetic home use by equivalence to BP A100, with referenced 2009, 2018 and 2021 studies. This does not establish separate published exact A6 PC trials for every special population mentioned by the maker. AFib screening and blood-pressure validation are separate claims
Features
Features	Advanced arrhythmia indication including possible atrial fibrillation, automatic triple measurement, resting indicator, cuff fit check, classification scale and automatic switch-off	AFib indication is active only in AFIB/MAM triple mode, not single measurement; it analyses pulse irregularity and does not record an ECG or provide an ECG-confirmed diagnosis. Cuff-fit and arm-movement indicators, coloured pressure scale, low-battery warning and automatic switch-off after approximately one minute
Cuff

Cuff fits	22–42 cm	22–42 cm
Cuff
Cuff	Supplied upper-arm cuff	Ukrainian maker supplies preformed M-L 22–42 cm cuff and cuff holder. Guide lists optional S 17–22, M 22–32, M-L 22–42, L 32–42 and L-XL 32–52 cm; those are not all supplied. STRIDE lists validated 22–42 and 32–52 cm sizes

Memory
Memory	100 readings per user; average of all saved readings and morning/evening readings from the last seven days	Separate dated histories of 99 readings per user. First recall displays average of all saved values, labelled 28A in current guide without defining a 28-day period. Forward/backward buttons navigate history. Oldest overwritten when full; complete selected-user history can be cleared, individual saved readings cannot. Newly displayed result can be excluded. Readings survive battery replacement while clock needs reset
App
App	Scan & Save in beurer HealthManager Pro uses a smartphone camera to record the display; no Bluetooth connection	Mini-B five-pin USB cable transfers stored values to Microlife Blood Pressure Analyzer+ PC software. No Bluetooth phone connection. Ukrainian maker includes cable; other regional bundles may differ
Power
Power	Four 1.5 V AAA batteries or optional DC 5 V, 1 A mains adaptor; maker claims approximately 300 measurements depending on pressure	Four 1.5 V AAA alkaline cells; approximately 400 measurements using new batteries, not a separate MAM-cycle count. Microlife DC 6 V, 600 mA adapter optional in global guide; Ukrainian bundle list includes adapter despite technical table calling it optional. NiMH cells supported with external charging; no internal battery charging

Display details
Display details	Illuminated LCD, 8.0 × 7.4 cm, with black digits on a white background	LCD with date/time, user, AFIB/MAM and interval indications; START/STOP, memory, time and forward/backward controls. Separate lock switch prevents accidental activation. USB, cuff and DC sockets. IP20
Size
Size	14.00 × 9.40 × 4.60 cm (L × W × H), current maker product page	160 × 80 × 32 mm; 354 g including batteries in exact guide and maker pages
In the box
In the box	Monitor, 22–42 cm cuff, four AAA batteries and storage bag; maker product page also lists a blood pressure record	Ukrainian maker lists preformed M-L 22–42 cm cuff, cuff holder, USB cable, four AAA alkaline cells, adapter, textile bag and blood-pressure diary. Regional bundle differences and the adapter table conflict remain explicit
