Method
Method	Oscillometric 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 unresolved	Automatic oscillometric upper-arm measurement during deflation for adults; maker manual gives a pressure range of 30–260 mmHg and pulse range of 40–199 beats/minute. First on-sale date not established
Accuracy
Accuracy	Current 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 separate	Maker specifies pressure accuracy within ±3 mmHg and pulse accuracy within ±5% of the reading; these specifications are separate from clinical validation
Clinical validation
Clinical validation	STRIDE 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 studies	STRIDE BP lists X5 as equivalent to Rossmax CF175, whose adult validation study used ESH-IP 2010 and was published in 2015; approved equivalence is not a direct X5 validation study. Its listing also mentions Bluetooth, whereas this exact non-Bluetooth X5 maker page/manual uses an optional wired PC link
Features
Features	AFib 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 minute	PARR distinguishes pulse arrhythmia, atrial fibrillation and premature contractions; loose-cuff and body-movement indications, hypertension risk scale and guest mode. AFib indication is not an ECG recording; the manual notes that detection is limited and a pacemaker may impair it

Cuff
Cuff	France 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 supplied	Latex-free Universal Cone Cuff with cuff holder; other sizes are available on request

Memory
Memory	Automatically 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 version	60 readings per user, 120 total, with date and time; averages of the last three readings and morning/evening readings over the previous seven days. Guest readings are not stored; oldest stored reading is replaced when a user's memory is full
App
App	–	No Bluetooth; optional specially designed USB cable connects the data-link socket to Rossmax BP Manager PC software. Rossmax now states BP Manager PC software is discontinued and no longer available; the monitor remains usable independently
Power
Power	Four 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 charging	Four AAA batteries, DC 6 V; optional DC 6 V adaptor rated at least 600 mA. Automatic shutdown one minute after the last key operation

Display details
Display details	LCD 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 applicability	69 × 78 mm LCD showing systolic and diastolic pressure, pulse, date/time, user memory, cuff and movement indicators
Size
Size	152 × 92 × 42 mm; 393 g including batteries in current exact guide and maker pages	96 × 139.7 × 63.2 mm (L × W × H); maker weight 248.6 g without batteries; IP21
In the box
In the box	France 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 English	Monitor, latex-free Universal Cone Cuff, batteries, instruction manual and zipper bag; adaptor and PC link are optional
