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 unresolvedProfessional automatic oscillometric or stethoscope-assisted auscultatory measurement. Manual mode uses the marker button for systolic/diastolic readings. First-sale date unresolved
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 separatePressure 30–260 mmHg; pulse 40–199 bpm. Maker accuracy ±3 mmHg pressure and ±5% pulse
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 lists AC1000f directly for adults in office/clinic use, with a 2020 validation study using BHS 1993. Listing is distinct from older AC1000f revisions and other monitors approved through equivalence
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 minutePARR pulse screening flags AFib, premature beats, tachycardia above 100 bpm and bradycardia below 55 bpm, including combined findings; not ECG. Cuff-fit and movement indicators. Manual deflation selectable at 2.5, 4.5 or 6.5 mmHg per second

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 versionSingle seven-reading history for automatic measurements; oldest replaced when full. Manual-mode readings are not included in this automatic history
App–No Bluetooth. Guide labels a data-link socket but does not establish a currently available PC-transfer service
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 chargingRechargeable 4.8 V, 1,800 mAh NiMH battery pack; supplied 7.5 V mains adaptor rated at least 1.5 A. Maker claims approximately 600 measurements per charge; initial charge more than 12 hours. Orange charging LED turns green when full. Five-minute automatic shutdown on battery; automatic shutdown disabled on mains
