Method
Method	Automatic oscillometric upper-arm measurement during deflation; first on-sale date not established	Oscillometric upper-arm measurement during deflation with Gentle+ control. Side switch selects single measurement or AFIB/MAM triple mode; three readings separated by 15 seconds produce one analysed result. Questionable reading triggers a fourth; individual triple results are not displayed. 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 French-linked non-Bluetooth S-V10-1 guide gives blood pressure 20–280 mmHg and pulse 40–200 bpm; global support instead lists systolic 60–255 and diastolic 40–200 mmHg. 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 A7 Touch for adult and diabetic home use by equivalence to BP A100, with referenced 2009, 2018 and 2021 studies. This is not an independent exact-model trial for every special population claimed by maker. Registry's dual-arm feature does not establish two simultaneous cuff inputs on this single-socket device
Features
Features	Advanced arrhythmia indication including possible atrial fibrillation, automatic triple measurement, resting indicator, cuff fit check, classification scale and automatic switch-off	AFib pulse-irregularity screening active only in AFIB/MAM triple mode; no ECG recording or ECG-confirmed diagnosis. Cuff-fit and arm-movement indications, pressure classification scale, low-battery warning and automatic switch-off after approximately one minute
Cuff

Cuff
Cuff	Supplied upper-arm cuff	French maker supplies preformed M-L 22–42 cm cuff. 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
Connections and memory

Readings stored
Readings stored	100 per user (better)	99 per user
Bluetooth and app
Bluetooth and app	No	No
Memory
Memory	100 readings per user; average of all saved readings and morning/evening readings from the last seven days	Touch user selection chooses user 1, user 2 or guest mode, whose readings are not stored. Two dated histories of 99 readings each; first recall shows an average, whose interval is not specified in exact guide. Oldest overwritten when full; complete selected-user history can be cleared, individual saved readings cannot. Newly displayed reading 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	USB Mini-B five-pin cable transfers stored readings to Microlife Blood Pressure Analyzer+ PC software. No Bluetooth function in exact non-Bluetooth controls or guide. Separate A7 Touch BT is a different existing model; global A7 Touch support page now links BT manuals, which are not used for this record
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	French exact guide and product list four 1.5 V AAA alkaline cells and approximately 400 measurements with new batteries; global support instead says AA. Regional source conflict retained, not borrowed from A7 Touch BT. Microlife DC 6 V, 600 mA adapter optional in guide while French bundle includes it. NiMH cells supported with external charging; no internal charging
Design
Display details
Display details	Illuminated LCD, 8.0 × 7.4 cm, with black digits on a white background	Touch display with date/time, memory, start and user-selection controls, separate forward/backward and enter controls. Lock switch prevents accidental activation; side single/triple switch, cuff, USB and DC sockets. IP20
Size
Size	14.00 × 9.40 × 4.60 cm (L × W × H), current maker product page	French non-Bluetooth S-V10-1 guide and product page give 160 × 82 × 35 mm and 312 g including batteries. Global non-Bluetooth support instead gives 157.5 × 105 × 61.5 mm and 415 g including batteries; conflicting regional figures retained without assuming they describe an unannounced revision
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	French maker lists preformed M-L 22–42 cm cuff, USB cable, four AAA alkaline cells, adapter, large textile storage bag and blood-pressure diary. Guide calls adapter optional; regional bundle differences remain qualified
