Microlife BP A150 AFIB vs Omron M3 Comfort AFib
Better figure, where one is clearly better

| Measuring | ||
| Type | Upper arm | Upper arm |
| Clinically validated | Yes | Yes |
| Irregular heartbeat detection | Yes | Yes |
| AFib detection or ECG | Yes | Yes |
| Method | Oscillometric 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 unresolved | Automatic oscillometric upper-arm measurement; HEM-7196-FLE, distinct from older M3 Comfort HEM-7155-E. First on-sale date not established |
| Accuracy | Exact 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 separate | Maker'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 validation | STRIDE 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 trials | STRIDE 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 |
| Features | AFib 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 minute | Pulse-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 |
| Cuff | ||
| Cuff fits | 22–42 cm | 22–42 cm |
| Cuff | Slovenian 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 supplied | HEM-FL31 preformed Intelli Wrap Cuff; approximately 145 × 532 mm, 750 mm air tube and 163 g |
| Connections and memory | ||
| Users | – | 2 |
| Readings stored | 1 | 60 per user (better) |
| Bluetooth and app | No | No |
| Memory | Original 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 established | Up to 60 readings per user for two users; guest mode takes a single measurement without saving it |
| App | – | No Bluetooth or OMRON connect support |
| Power | Four 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 bundle | Four 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 |
| Design | ||
| Display details | LCD with ON/OFF control and side 1/3 AFIB/MAM switch; no separate M-button in original S-V9 hardware diagram. IP20 | Digital LCD; monitor IP21 |
| Size | 152 × 92 × 42 mm; 393 g including batteries, corroborated by exact manual and maker support | Manual 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 box | Slovenian maker lists storage bag, four AA alkaline cells, blood-pressure diary and M-L 22–42 cm cuff. Adapter optional. Product link is Slovenian maker page; support and exact original manual include English | Monitor, HEM-FL31 cuff, four AA batteries, instruction manuals 1/2 and storage case |
