Measuring
TypeUpper armUpper arm
Clinically validatedYesYes
Irregular heartbeat detectionYesYes
AFib detection or ECGYesYes
MethodOscillometric upper-arm measurement during deflation with Gentle+ pressure control. Side switch selects single measurement or AFIB/MAM mode; three measurements with 15-second pauses produce one analysed result. Individual results are not displayed; a fourth measurement is taken if one is questionable. First actual on-sale date unresolvedAutomatic oscillometric upper-arm measurement; HEM-7196-FLE, distinct from older M3 Comfort HEM-7155-E. First on-sale date not established
AccuracyCurrent E-V10 July 2025 guide gives systolic 60–255 mmHg, diastolic 40–200 mmHg, pulse 40–199 bpm, static accuracy ±3 mmHg and pulse accuracy ±5%. France page instead gives blood pressure 20–280 mmHg and pulse 40–200 bpm; global support also gives pulse 40–200. These range differences remain explicit. Cuff-pressure display 0–299 mmHg is separateMaker's pressure accuracy ±3 mmHg and pulse accuracy ±5% of displayed reading; systolic range 60–260 mmHg, diastolic 40–215 mmHg and pulse 40–180 beats/minute
Clinical validationSTRIDE BP accepts equivalence to BP A100 for adult and diabetes populations, with 22–42 and 32–52 cm cuffs. Headline reflects registry acceptance by equivalence, not a separate exact-model validation trial. Broad maker population and AFib accuracy claims are not treated as exact-model independent studiesSTRIDE BP approves HEM-7196-FLE as equivalent to Omron BP760N (HEM-7320-Z), listing adults, diabetes and pregnancy/preeclampsia with a 22–42 cm cuff; equivalent-device approval is distinct from direct testing of this model or validation of its AFib algorithm
FeaturesAFib screening only operates in AFIB/MAM mode, not standard single measurements. It is not an ECG recording or diagnosis. Cuff-fit and arm-movement indicators, coloured classification scale, low-battery warning and automatic switch-off after approximately one minutePulse-wave screening for possible AFib, rather than an ECG or diagnosis; irregular heartbeat, body movement and cuff-wrap indicators. Three-reading mode automatically takes consecutive readings at 30-second intervals and displays their average

CuffFrance maker bundle supplies soft conical M-L 22–42 cm cuff. Guide lists optional S 17–22, M 22–32, L 32–42 and L-XL 32–52 cm sizes and preformed cuffs; these are not all suppliedHEM-FL31 preformed Intelli Wrap Cuff; approximately 145 × 532 mm, 750 mm air tube and 163 g

Bluetooth and appNoNo
MemoryAutomatically stores the last 30 readings with date and time; oldest overwritten when full. Separate M-button recalls previous readings and clears all history. Individual stored readings cannot be cleared, though a newly displayed result can be excluded before storage. History survives battery replacement but clock must be reset. This is the separately named 30-memory model, not the original A150 AFIB S-V9 last-result-only versionUp to 60 readings per user for two users; guest mode takes a single measurement without saving it
App–No Bluetooth or OMRON connect support
PowerFour 1.5 V AA alkaline cells; approximately 920 measurements with new batteries, with no separate AFIB/MAM-cycle count stated. Optional Microlife DC 6 V, 600 mA adapter stops battery-current use when connected. NiMH cells supported but require external chargingFour AA batteries included; optional HHP-CM01, HHP-AM01 or HHP-BFH01 AC adapter. Approximately 900 measurements with new alkaline batteries and the included cuff, depending on batteries and cuff

Display detailsLCD with date/time, M-memory and ON/OFF buttons, side time control and 1/3 AFIB/MAM switch. IP20. Current guide cover abbreviates the name to BP A150 AFIB; exact official A150-30 download, M/time controls and 30-reading operation establish its applicabilityDigital LCD; monitor IP21
Size152 × 92 × 42 mm; 393 g including batteries in current exact guide and maker pagesManual gives approximately 165 × 70 × 98 mm (W × H × L), differing from the UK web table's 165 × 165 × 70 mm; approximately 350 g without batteries
In the boxFrance maker lists cloth storage bag, four AA alkaline cells, blood-pressure diary and soft M-L 22–42 cm cuff. Adapter optional. Product resource is French regional maker page; global support and current multilingual guide include EnglishMonitor, HEM-FL31 cuff, four AA batteries, instruction manuals 1/2 and storage case
