| BeurerBM 81 easyLock | MicrolifeBP B4 BT | |
|---|---|---|
| Overview | ||
| Released | – | – |
| Measuring | ||
| Type | Upper arm | Upper arm |
| Clinically validated | – | Yes |
| Irregular heartbeat detection | Yes | Yes |
| AFib detection or ECG | No | – |
| Method | Automatic oscillometric upper-arm measurement during inflation; exact BM 81 easyLock item 65511. First on-sale date unconfirmed | Automatic oscillometric upper-arm measurement; first on-sale date not established |
| Accuracy | Maker display accuracy ±3 mmHg for systolic and diastolic pressure and ±5% for pulse; systolic range 50–250 mmHg, diastolic 30–200 mmHg and pulse 40–180 beats/minute. Cuff-pressure range 0–300 mmHg is not the systolic measuring range | Maker manual specifies static pressure accuracy of ±3 mmHg and pulse accuracy of ±5% of the readout value; distinct from clinical validation |
| Clinical validation | Maker claims clinical validation and ESH recognition; Medaval's April 2025 list places this model among monitors with internal or unpublished validation. Independent published exact-device validation not established; headline validation flag omitted | Exact BP B4 BT appears on STRIDE BP as an approved equivalent device for home use in adults and people with diabetes, with a validated 22–42 cm cuff; the listing does not identify an underlying direct-study model |
| Features | Cuff-fit check, irregular-heartbeat warning, coloured LED risk indicator, date/time and automatic switch-off. No ECG or haemodynamic resting indicator; not a continuous ambulatory monitor | MAM averages three successive measurements; irregular heartbeat indication, cuff fit and movement checks, classification scale and date/time |
| Cuff | ||
| Cuff fits | 24–40 cm | 22–42 cm |
| Cuff | Integrated easyLock upper-arm cuff with press-and-turn adjustment for 24–40 cm circumference; no separate tube or hook-and-loop fastener | Soft M–L upper-arm cuff |
| Connections and memory | ||
| Users | 2 | 2 |
| Readings stored | 120 per user (better) | 99 per user |
| Bluetooth and app | Yes | Yes |
| Memory | Two users with 120 dated readings each; oldest overwritten when full. Averages of all saved readings and morning/evening readings from the latest seven days. All readings saved to a user memory; deletion clears that user's entire memory, without individual-reading deletion or guest mode | Exact manual and UK page feature heading specify 99 readings per user for two users; a conflicting UK specification bullet says 30 each. Average of all stored readings; oldest reading overwritten when full |
| App | Bluetooth Low Energy transfer to beurer HealthManager Pro; can be used without the app. Current instructions specify compatibility with Bluetooth 4.0 smartphones/tablets, not an exact radio-generation claim | Bluetooth 5.0 transfer to Microlife Connected Health+ on Android and iOS |
| Power | Four 1.5 V AAA LR03 batteries included; approximately 300 measurements depending on blood pressure and inflation pressure. Battery replacement retains readings but requires resetting date/time. ETM's AA battery table conflicts with the exact maker manual and PC-WELT's AAA description | Four 1.5 V LR03 AAA batteries or optional DC 5 V, 1 A adaptor through USB-C; NiMH batteries supported but must be charged externally |
| Design | ||
| Display details | Non-illuminated LCD with white digits and coloured LED classification indicator; maker display dimensions 3.4 × 7.9 cm. Battery-level and cuff-fit indications; IP22 | LCD showing pressure, pulse, user, date/time and stored-reading indicators |
| Size | Current manual gives 143 × 91 × 22 mm (L × W × H), approximately 280 g with cuff but without batteries. Web table reverses length/width and gives 327 g excluding packaging without the same battery condition | 141 × 94.5 × 56 mm; maker weight 260 g including batteries |
| In the box | Monitor with integrated 24–40 cm cuff, four AAA LR03 batteries, instructions and quick-start guide; no storage bag. UK product page additionally lists a blood pressure record | Monitor, soft 22–42 cm cuff, storage bag, instruction manual and four AAA alkaline batteries |
