Microlife BP A6 BT vs Omron M7 Intelli IT
Better figure, where one is clearly better
| MicrolifeBP A6 BT | OmronM7 Intelli IT | |
|---|---|---|
| Overview | ||
| Released | – | – |
| 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+ 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 | Oscillometric upper-arm measurement; HEM-7361T-EBK, distinct from earlier M7 Intelli IT HEM-7322T-E and newer M7 Intelli IT AFib HEM-7380T1-EBK. First on-sale date not established |
| Accuracy | Current 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 | Maker's pressure accuracy ±3 mmHg and pulse accuracy ±5%; systolic range 60–260 mmHg, diastolic 40–215 mmHg and pulse 40–180 beats/minute |
| Clinical validation | STRIDE 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 claims | Maker claims adult, pregnancy/preeclampsia and type II diabetes validation. Medaval attributes BIHS/STRIDE recommendations to BP760N HEM-7320-Z equivalence, but says the unpublished assessment cannot be verified against MDR requirements; this does not establish diagnostic accuracy of rhythm indicators |
| Features | AFib 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 activation | Selectable AFib screening takes three readings 30 seconds apart and displays their average; not ECG recording or diagnosis despite the web category BPM & ECG. Ordinary readings use a separate irregular-heartbeat indicator. Cuff-wrap, movement and high-pressure indicators |
| Cuff | ||
| Cuff fits | 22–42 cm | 22–42 cm |
| Cuff | Current MDR guide supplies Microlife Soft Cuff M-L 22–42 cm. Optional soft cuffs S 17–22, M 22–32, L 32–42 and L-XL 32–52 cm are not all supplied. STRIDE lists validated 22–42 and 32–52 cm sizes | HEM-FL31 Intelli Wrap cuff for 22–42 cm arms |
| Connections and memory | ||
| Users | 1 | 2 (better) |
| Readings stored | 99 | 100 per user (better) |
| Bluetooth and app | Yes | Yes |
| Memory | One 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 histories | 100 readings per user for two users; guest readings are unsaved and do not offer AFib screening. Latest two/three readings within ten minutes can be averaged, plus morning/evening weekly averages; dual display compares readings |
| App | Bluetooth 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 app | Bluetooth Low Energy transfer to OMRON connect; Bluetooth can be disabled |
| Power | Four 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 monitor | Four AA batteries included; optional AC adapter. Approximately 1000 measurements with new alkaline batteries, fewer in three-reading AFib mode |
| Design | ||
| Display details | LCD with date/time and AFIB/MAM indicators; START/STOP, memory, time and forward/backward controls. Separate lock and single/triple switches, cuff, USB and DC sockets. IP20 | Digital LCD; monitor IP20, not the optional adapter's IP21/IP22 |
| Size | Current 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 table | Approximately 191 × 85 × 120 mm (W × H × L); 460 g without batteries |
| In the box | Current 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. French regional list includes adapter; regional bundle differences remain qualified | Monitor, HEM-FL31 cuff, four AA batteries, instructions 1/2, setup instructions and storage case |
