Beurer BM 58 vs Beurer BM 85
Better figure, where one is clearly better
| BeurerBM 58 | BeurerBM 85 | |
|---|---|---|
| Overview | ||
| Released | – | 2014 |
| Measuring | ||
| Type | Upper arm | Upper arm |
| Irregular heartbeat detection | Yes | Yes |
| AFib detection or ECG | No | No |
| Method | Automatic oscillometric upper-arm measurement during deflation; exact UK item 65516. First-sale date unconfirmed. Generic inflation icon on the web page conflicts with its technical table and exact manual operation | Automatic oscillometric upper-arm measurement during inflation; exact UK item 65803. July 2014 retail test establishes the sale year; first-sale month unconfirmed |
| Accuracy | Maker 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 | Maker 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 validation | Maker datasheet claims ESH clinical validation and 2014/2015 recognition. Medaval lists ESH self-measurement recommendation and DHL manufacturer-declared equivalence, but says exact-device equivalence has not been established to MDR requirements. Independently verified exact-device standard-protocol validation remains unresolved; headline flag omitted | Maker 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 Medaval records a specific-population study using a non-standard protocol and unpublished internal DHL data; independent standard-protocol exact-device validation not established, so headline flag omitted |
| Features | Irregular-heartbeat warning, coloured classification scale, touch-sensor controls, activation/lock switch and cuff holder. No ECG, dedicated AFib detection or haemodynamic resting indicator; current UK table says no electronic cuff-fit check despite a generic feature icon | Irregular-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 fits | 22–30 cm | 22–42 cm |
| Cuff | Supplied upper-arm cuff for 22–30 cm circumference. Separate XL cuff 30–42 cm, maker item 163246; it is an optional accessory rather than the standard headline fit | Current 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 | ||
| Users | 2 | 2 |
| Readings stored | 60 per user | 60 per user |
| Bluetooth and app | No | Yes |
| Memory | Two users with 60 dated readings each; oldest overwritten when full. Averages of all stored readings and morning/evening readings over the latest seven days. Holding MEM clears all readings in the selected user memory | Two 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 |
| App | USB transfer to beurer HealthManager PC software or HealthManager Pro USB uploader, with later app/web viewing. No Bluetooth radio; Scan & Save uses a smartphone camera to read the display rather than wireless transfer from the monitor | Bluetooth 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 |
| Power | Four 1.5 V LR6 AA alkaline batteries included. Manual claims approximately 500 measurements depending on blood pressure and inflation pressure, while current web table says approximately 250. Optional 6 V DC / 600 mA mains part sold separately; battery and mains are alternative power sources | Built-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 |
| Design | ||
| Display details | Illuminated black LCD with white digits; maker 8.1 × 12.2 cm. Touch-sensor controls and separate rear activation switch, date/time and battery indicator. IPX0 according to manual | Illuminated LCD with black digits, maker 7.0 × 6.5 cm; illuminated sensor touch controls, date/time and battery level. IPX0 according to manual |
| Size | Manual and datasheet 100 × 150 × 58 mm (L × W × H), approximately 508 g with cuff and without batteries. Web table's 680 g excluding packaging lacks the same weighing conditions | Manual 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 box | Monitor, 22–30 cm cuff, USB cable, four AA batteries, storage bag and instructions. UK product page additionally lists a blood pressure record; mains part and XL cuff are separate accessories | Monitor, 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 |
