Overview
Released

Measuring
Type
Type	Upper arm	Upper arm
Irregular heartbeat detection
Irregular heartbeat detection	Yes	–
AFib detection or ECG
AFib detection or ECG	Yes	Yes
Method
Method	Automatic oscillometric upper-arm blood pressure measurement during inflation; separate single-channel ECG stick. Exact BM 96 Cardio item 65801. Maker announcement dated 31 August 2021 does not establish the first retail date, which remains unconfirmed	Automatic oscillometric upper-arm measurement during deflation. First on-sale date not established; no inferred predecessor
Accuracy
Accuracy	Maker display accuracy ±3 mmHg for systolic and diastolic pressure and ±5% for pulse; systolic range 60–280 mmHg, diastolic 30–200 mmHg and pulse 30–199 beats/minute. Cuff-pressure range 0–300 mmHg is separate. ECG bandwidth 0.05–40 Hz and sample rate 500 Hz	Manual static pressure accuracy ±3 mmHg and pulse accuracy ±5% of the readout. Systolic range 60–255 mmHg, diastolic 40–200 mmHg; manual pulse range 40–199 beats/minute differs from website 40–200. Cuff-pressure display 0–299 mmHg is separate
Clinical validation
Clinical validation	Independently published exact-device blood pressure validation not established; Medaval reports no peer-reviewed validation information for this technology, so headline validation flag omitted	Maker claims BIHS A/A using the measuring technology of BP 3BTO-A, rather than citing an exact-model trial. Medaval reports no peer-reviewed validation evidence for BP A7 Touch BT; independent headline validation omitted
Features
Features	AFib detection, irregular-heartbeat warning, cuff-fit check, two measurement reminders, coloured classification scale and HSD haemodynamic resting indicator. ECG recordings can be 30, 60, 90 or 120 seconds; status indications include OK, AFib, heart rate below 60 bpm or above 100 bpm. Chest/finger methods approximate leads II or III; hand-to-hand method approximates lead I and has lower stability. These are alternative single-channel positions, not simultaneous three-lead recording; the maker's doctor annex excludes full clinical or emergency diagnosis	AFIBsens warning only in AFIB/MAM mode, which averages three measurements separated by 15-second waits; a questionable reading can trigger a fourth measurement. No ECG recording. Cuff-fit and arm-movement checks, LED classification scale and control-lock switch
Cuff
Cuff fits
Cuff fits	22–42 cm	22–42 cm
Cuff
Cuff	Upper-arm cuff for 22–42 cm circumference; correct cuff placement and resting conditions are still required	Supplied M–L cuff fits 22–42 cm arms. Other maker cuffs cover 17–52 cm depending on size; that is not the supplied cuff's range
Connections and memory

Readings stored
Readings stored	60 per user	99 per user (better)
Bluetooth and app
Bluetooth and app	Yes	Yes
Memory
Memory	Two users with up to 60 dated blood pressure readings each; oldest overwritten when full. Averages of all stored readings and morning/evening readings over the latest seven days. ECG memory holds up to 60 recordings per user at 30 seconds; longer recordings can reduce capacity. Deleting memory clears the selected user history	Two users with 99 readings each and an average of stored readings; oldest replaced when full. Guest mode does not retain results according to user-selection instructions and product page, despite a conflicting generic memory sentence including the guest. Adjustable date/time
App
App	Bluetooth Low Energy transfer to beurer HealthManager Pro. The maker's October 2022 datasheet also specifies web software and USB uploader; these are separate from Bluetooth transfer. Current manual gives compatibility with Bluetooth 4.0 or later, not an exact radio version. Optional MyCardio Pro analysis service is described separately on the product page	Bluetooth 4.0 transfer to Microlife Connected Health+; micro-USB connection to BP Analyzer+ on a computer
Power
Power	Four 1.5 V AA batteries included; approximately 300 measurements depending on blood pressure, inflation pressure and ECG recording duration	Four 1.5 V AAA alkaline batteries or 6 V DC / 600 mA mains adapter. Manual approximately 400 measurements with new batteries. Rechargeable batteries supported but must be removed for external charging; mains or USB connection does not charge them
Design
Display details
Display details	Illuminated LCD with black digits, maker 10.4 × 6.7 cm; four sensor touch buttons, illuminated start/stop button, date/time and battery indicator. IP21	Touch controls integrated into the display, with separate lock and AFIB/MAM switches. IP20
Size
Size	Blood pressure unit 120 × 144 × 53 mm (L × W × H), approximately 490 g without batteries and with cuff; ECG stick approximately 40 g and 22 mm diameter × 120 mm height. Web table's 744 g excluding packaging lacks the same weighing conditions and is not substituted for the manual values	160 × 82 × 35 mm; 312 g including batteries
In the box
In the box	Blood pressure unit, cuff, ECG stick, four AA batteries, storage pouch, instructions, quick-start guide and annex for the attending doctor, as listed in the May 2026 manual; UK product page additionally lists a USB transfer cable and blood pressure record	European maker bundle lists 22–42 cm cuff, textile storage bag, USB cable, four AAA batteries, mains adapter and blood pressure diary. Manual treats mains adapter as optional; supplied accessories can differ by regional bundle
