TypeUpper armUpper arm
Clinically validatedYes–
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 measurement or auscultatory mode using a separate stethoscope and marker button. Intended for adults at home and in clinical settings. 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 X9 through approved equivalence to Rossmax AC1000f, whose adult study used BHS 1993 and was published in 2020; this is not a direct X9 study. Its generic Bluetooth listing conflicts with this non-Bluetooth maker variant
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 flags AFib, premature beats, tachycardia above 100 bpm and bradycardia below 55 bpm, including combined findings. Pulse screening, not ECG. Cuff-fit, movement and hypertension indicators

CuffFrance maker bundle supplies soft conical M-L 22–42 cm cuff.

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 90-reading history with date/time for automatic measurements; oldest replaced when full. Auscultatory readings are not included in this stored automatic-mode history
App–No Bluetooth on this maker variant. Shared-family guide documents an optional specially designed USB cable for PC transfer; Rossmax now says BP Manager software is discontinued and no longer available. Monitor remains independently usable
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 alkaline cells, DC 6 V; supplied 6 V mains adaptor rated at least 600 mA. Automatic shutdown after one minute without key operation
