Overview
Released–April 2025
Measuring
TypeUpper armUpper arm
Clinically validatedYes–
Irregular heartbeat detectionYesNo
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 unresolvedCuff oscillometric; automatic inflation; TripleTrust takes three readings in a row
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±3 mmHg or 2% of reading; systolic 60 to 230 mmHg, diastolic 40 to 130 mmHg; pulse 40 to 199 bpm
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 claimsClinical study of 91 people to ISO 81060-2:2018+A1:2020 (Withings)
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 activationColour-coded result to ESH thresholds; single-lead ECG in 30 seconds with AFib detection (Withings ECG Monitor 2, Europe only, rolling out by country)

CuffCurrent 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 sizesDetachable FlexiFit cuff, 22 to 42 cm included; XL cuff 40 to 52 cm sold separately
Connections and memory
Users18 (better)
Readings stored99–
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 historiesUp to 16 readings on the device between syncs; unlimited storage in the Withings cloud; up to 8 users
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 appWithings app (iOS and Android), syncs over Wi-Fi or Bluetooth; works with Apple Health and Google Health Connect
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 monitorBuilt-in 2,500 mAh battery, up to 12 months per charge; USB-C charging
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. IP202.8″ colour LCD
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 table23 × 19 × 7 cm; 338 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. French regional list includes adapter; regional bundle differences remain qualifiedBPM Vision, charging cable, regular cuff (22 to 42 cm), case that doubles as a stand, quick installation guide
