Overview

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 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 upper-arm measurement; HEM-7196-FLE, distinct from older M3 Comfort HEM-7155-E. First on-sale date not established
AccuracyExact November 2023 E-V10 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. Range differences remain explicit. Cuff-pressure display 0–299 mmHg 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 accepts equivalence to BP A100 for adult and diabetes populations, with 22–42 and 32–52 cm cuffs. Headline reflects registry acceptance by equivalence rather than a separate exact-model validation trial. Broad maker population and AFib accuracy claims are not treated as independent exact-model findingsSTRIDE 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 screening only operates in AFIB/MAM mode, not standard single measurements. It is not an ECG recording or diagnosis, despite stronger French product-page wording. Cuff-fit and arm-movement indicators, coloured classification scale, low-battery warning, heartbeat beeps 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
Cuff

CuffFrance maker specifies a preformed M-L 22–42 cm cuff. Exact guide lists optional S 17–22, M 22–32, L 32–42 and L-XL 32–52 cm sizes; these are not all suppliedHEM-FL31 preformed Intelli Wrap Cuff; approximately 145 × 532 mm, 750 mm air tube and 163 g
Connections and memory
Users–2
Readings stored200 (better)60 per user
Bluetooth and appNoNo
MemoryAutomatically stores the last 200 readings with date and time; oldest overwritten when full. 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. No separate user selector establishedUp to 60 readings per user for two users; guest mode takes a single measurement without saving it
AppUSB PC link to Microlife Blood Pressure Analyzer+ software, using a Mini-B 5-pin connector. Computer controls the device during connection. No Bluetooth or mobile-app transfer; current software compatibility must be checked separately, not inferred from old software CDsNo Bluetooth or OMRON connect support
PowerFour 1.5 V AA alkaline cells; approximately 920 measurements with new batteries, without a separate AFIB/MAM-cycle count. Microlife DC 6 V, 600 mA adapter stops battery-current use when connected. NiMH cells supported with external charging. French supplied-items list includes adapter, while its voltage-source line and global guide call it optional; bundle difference unresolvedFour 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

Size152 × 92 × 42 mm; 393 g including batteries in exact guide and maker pagesManual 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 boxFrance maker lists storage bag, four AA cells, USB cable, BP Analyzer software, mains adapter, diary and M-L 22–42 cm cuff. Guide permits bundles without cable/download voucher and calls adapter optional. Product resource is French regional maker page; global support and multilingual guide include English.
