Overview

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 unresolvedOscillometric 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
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 separateMaker'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 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 claimsMaker 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 Medaval attributes BIHS/STRIDE recommendations to BP760N HEM-7320-Z equivalence, but says the unpublished assessment cannot be verified against MDR requirements; this does not establish diagnostic accuracy of rhythm indicators
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 activationSelectable 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

Readings stored99100 per user (better)
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 histories100 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
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 appBluetooth Low Energy transfer to OMRON connect; Bluetooth can be disabled
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 monitorFour AA batteries included; optional AC adapter. Approximately 1000 measurements with new alkaline batteries, fewer in three-reading AFib mode
Design
Display detailsLCD 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. IP20Digital LCD; monitor IP20, not the optional adapter's IP21/IP22
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 tableApproximately 191 × 85 × 120 mm (W × H × L); 460 g without batteries
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. French regional list includes adapter; regional bundle differences remain qualifiedMonitor, HEM-FL31 cuff, four AA batteries, instructions 1/2, setup instructions and storage case
