Overview
Released–2019
Measuring
TypeUpper armUpper arm
Clinically validatedYesYes
Irregular heartbeat detectionYesYes
AFib detection or ECGYesYes
MethodOscillometric upper-arm measurement during deflation with Gentle+ control. Single or AFIB/MAM triple mode selected by side switch; three measurements separated by 15 seconds produce one analysed result. Questionable measurement triggers a fourth; individual triple-mode results are not displayed. Actual first retail sale unresolved–
AccuracyCurrent E-V11 MDR guide gives systolic 60–255 mmHg, diastolic 40–200 mmHg and pulse 40–199 bpm; global support lists pulse 40–200. Older S-V10 guide and French maker page give blood pressure 20–280 mmHg and pulse 40–200. Static accuracy ±3 mmHg and pulse accuracy ±5%; cuff-pressure display 0–299 mmHg is separate–
Clinical validationSTRIDE BP accepts exact A6 BT for adult and diabetic home use by equivalence to BP A100, with referenced 2009, 2018 and 2021 studies. This does not establish separate published A6 BT trials for every special population mentioned by the maker. Blood-pressure validation and AFib screening are separate claimsListed as validated for home use by STRIDE BP (HEM-7530T-E3, as an equivalent device)
FeaturesAFib pulse-irregularity screening active only in AFIB/MAM triple mode, not single measurement. Does not record an ECG or provide an ECG-confirmed diagnosis. Cuff-fit and arm-movement indications, LED pressure classification scale, low-battery warning, automatic switch-off and lock switch to prevent accidental activation30-second single-lead ECG during the blood pressure reading; screens for AFib, tachycardia, bradycardia, hypertension and hypotension; cuff wrap guide; body movement detection; averaging

Connections and memory
Users1–
Readings stored99 (better)90
Bluetooth and appYesYes
MemoryOne history of the last 99 dated readings, with no user selector in exact controls. First recall shows average of all stored values; older guide calls it 28A without defining a 28-day interval. Forward/backward buttons navigate history, oldest overwritten when full. Complete history can be cleared, individual saved values cannot; newly displayed reading can be excluded. Readings survive battery replacement while clock requires reset. Isolated manual wording per user does not establish two separate histories90 readings
AppBluetooth 4.0 synchronisation with Microlife Connected Health+; connection active after measurement and can be started with forward button in standby. USB transfer to Blood Pressure Analyzer+ PC software. Both manuals specify Mini-B five-pin connector in PC-link section, while current package list calls its cable Micro USB; connector wording conflict retained. French page keeps older app OS requirements; current supported phone versions should be checked with the appOMRON connect, over Bluetooth, for blood pressure and ECG
PowerFour 1.5 V AAA alkaline cells; approximately 400 measurements with new batteries, not a separate triple-cycle count. Optional Microlife DC 6 V, 600 mA adapter; French bundle list includes it despite technical table calling it optional. NiMH cells supported with external charging, not charged in monitor4 × AA batteries (included)

SizeCurrent E-V11 MDR guide, French product and global support agree on 160 × 80 × 32 mm and 354 g including batteries. Older exact S-V10 guide incorrectly gives 150 × 100 × 50 mm and 580 g; conflict retained rather than transferring that table264 × 140 × 160 mm; 550 g
In the boxCurrent MDR guide lists soft M-L cuff, cuff holder, cuff-size marker, USB cable, storage bag, diary, instructions and four AAA cells, with adapter optional.
