Overview
Released–2014
Measuring
TypeUpper armUpper arm
Irregular heartbeat detectionYesYes
AFib detection or ECGYesNo
MethodAutomatic oscillometric upper-arm measurement during inflation. UK item 65400, EAN 4211125654009; manual type BM 64. Announced on 12 November 2023 with planned German availability from March 2024; actual first-sale date unresolvedAutomatic oscillometric upper-arm measurement during inflation; exact UK item 65803. July 2014 retail test establishes the sale year; first-sale month unconfirmed
AccuracyManual display accuracy ±3 mmHg for systolic and diastolic pressure and ±5% for pulse. Systolic range 50–280 mmHg, diastolic 30–200 mmHg and pulse 40–199 beats/minute; maximum cuff pressure 300 mmHg is separateMaker 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 validationCurrent manual claims clinical testing to ISO 81060-2; independent validation for this exact model not established. The shared launch release's pregnancy-validation claim belongs to BM 53, not BM 64Maker 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 Medaval records a specific-population study using a non-standard protocol and unpublished internal DHL data; independent standard-protocol exact-device validation not established, so headline flag omitted
FeaturesAdvanced arrhythmia detection flags possible atrial fibrillation, without recording an ECG. Coloured classification scale, cuff-position check, HSD resting indicator and low-battery indication. Maker retains triple-measurement mode; May 2024 instructions describe three measurements with 30-second waits and a final average, while September 2026 instructions omit that operation sectionIrregular-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 fits22–42 cm22–42 cm
CuffSupplied premium cuff fits upper-arm circumferences of 22–42 cm; conventional tube connection, not easyClip or easyLockCurrent 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

Readings stored120 per user (better)60 per user
Bluetooth and appYesYes
MemoryTwo separately selected users with 120 readings each; oldest reading replaced when full. Recall individual readings and average of all stored readings, plus morning (05:00–09:00) and evening (18:00–20:00) averages over the last seven days. Date/time and user-selection slider explicitly described in the manualTwo 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
AppBluetooth transfer to beurer HealthManager Pro with automatic transfer configurable on the monitor; six-digit pairing PIN. Manual publishes 2400–2483 MHz band and maximum 5 dBm transmission power, without a Bluetooth versionBluetooth 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
PowerFour included 1.5 V LR6 AA batteries; approximately 300 measurements depending on blood pressure, inflation pressure and Bluetooth connections. Optional USB-C mains supply 5 V DC / 1 A; remove batteries for mains use. Included USB-C cable does not charge batteriesBuilt-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 detailsIlluminated inverse XL LCD with white digits on black; four sensor touch buttons and a central START/STOP control. Manual IP20Illuminated LCD with black digits, maker 7.0 × 6.5 cm; illuminated sensor touch controls, date/time and battery level. IPX0 according to manual
Size143 × 105 × 60 mm (L × W × H). Manual and datasheet approximately 450 g with cuff and without batteries; current UK website lists 646 g excluding packaging without specifying cuff/battery weighing conditionsManual 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 boxMonitor, 22–42 cm premium cuff, four AA batteries, USB-C cable, storage pouch and instructions; mains adapter optionalMonitor, 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
