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 standard single measurement or AFIB/MAM mode; three automatic measurements with 15-second pauses are analysed into one displayed result. Individual readings 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
AccuracyExact S-V9 manual gives blood pressure 20–280 mmHg, pulse 40–200 bpm, static pressure ±3 mmHg and pulse ±5%. Current global support instead separates systolic 60–255 and diastolic 40–200 mmHg. Slovenian page's 20–80 blood-pressure line conflicts with both and is not used. Cuff-pressure display 0–299 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 lists equivalence to BP A100, adult and diabetes populations, and 22–42 and 32–52 cm cuffs. Headline reflects registry acceptance by equivalence, not an exact-model validation study. Broad maker special-population and AFib performance claims are not treated as independently established exact-model trialsSTRIDE 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 indication is active only in AFIB/MAM mode, not the standard single-measurement mode. It is a screening indication rather than ECG recording or diagnosis. Cuff-fit and arm-movement indicators, 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

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

MemoryOriginal BP A150 AFIB S-V9 guide stores the last result only; recall by holding ON/OFF while switched off until the stored result and M appear. Slovenian product table instead lists 30 places, and global support's other manual filename refers to A150-30 AFIB. The separately named A150-30 model's history is not transferred to this original record. No clock or user-selection operation establishedUp 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 in S-V9 guide, with no separate AFIB/MAM-cycle count stated. Optional DC 6 V, 600 mA Microlife adapter stops battery-current consumption when connected. NiMH cells require external charging. Slovenian AAA line conflicts with exact manual and its own four-AA bundleFour 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
