BeurerBM 96 CardioOmronEvolv
Overview
Released–January 2017
Measuring
TypeUpper armUpper arm
Clinically validated–Yes
Irregular heartbeat detectionYesYes
AFib detection or ECGYesYes
MethodAutomatic 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–
AccuracyMaker 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–
Clinical validationIndependently published exact-device blood pressure validation not established; Medaval reports no peer-reviewed validation information for this technology, so headline validation flag omittedListed as validated for home use by STRIDE BP (HEM-7600T-E); Omron lists clinical and pregnancy validation
FeaturesAFib 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 diagnosisIntellisense inflation; cuff wrap guide; body movement detection; irregular heartbeat and AFib detection

Connections and memory
Users2–
Readings stored60 per user100
Bluetooth and appYesYes
MemoryTwo 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 history100 readings
AppBluetooth 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.
