Method
Method	Oscillometric upper-arm measurement during deflation with Gentle+ control. Single or AFIB/MAM triple mode selected by side switch; three readings separated by 15 seconds produce one analysed result. Individual results are not displayed; questionable reading triggers a fourth. Actual first retail sale unresolved	Automatic oscillometric upper-arm measurement; HEM-7196-FLE, distinct from older M3 Comfort HEM-7155-E. First on-sale date not established
Accuracy
Accuracy	Exact 19 June 2024 guide gives systolic 60–255 mmHg, diastolic 40–200 mmHg and pulse 40–199 bpm; global support gives pulse 40–200. Ukrainian maker page gives blood pressure 20–280 mmHg and pulse 40–200; range differences retained. Static pressure 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% of displayed reading; systolic range 60–260 mmHg, diastolic 40–215 mmHg and pulse 40–180 beats/minute
Clinical validation
Clinical validation	STRIDE BP accepts exact BP A6 PC for adult and diabetic home use by equivalence to BP A100, with referenced 2009, 2018 and 2021 studies. This does not establish separate published exact A6 PC trials for every special population mentioned by the maker. AFib screening and blood-pressure validation are separate claims	STRIDE 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
Features
Features	AFib indication is active only in AFIB/MAM triple mode, not single measurement; it analyses pulse irregularity and does not record an ECG or provide an ECG-confirmed diagnosis. Cuff-fit and arm-movement indicators, coloured pressure scale, low-battery warning and automatic switch-off after approximately one minute	Pulse-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
Cuff	Ukrainian maker supplies preformed M-L 22–42 cm cuff and cuff holder. Guide lists optional S 17–22, M 22–32, M-L 22–42, L 32–42 and L-XL 32–52 cm; those are not all supplied. STRIDE lists validated 22–42 and 32–52 cm sizes	HEM-FL31 preformed Intelli Wrap Cuff; approximately 145 × 532 mm, 750 mm air tube and 163 g

Memory
Memory	Separate dated histories of 99 readings per user. First recall displays average of all saved values, labelled 28A in current guide without defining a 28-day period. Forward/backward buttons navigate history. Oldest overwritten when full; complete selected-user history can be cleared, individual saved readings cannot. Newly displayed result can be excluded. Readings survive battery replacement while clock needs reset	Up to 60 readings per user for two users; guest mode takes a single measurement without saving it
App
App	Mini-B five-pin USB cable transfers stored values to Microlife Blood Pressure Analyzer+ PC software. No Bluetooth phone connection. Ukrainian maker includes cable; other regional bundles may differ	No Bluetooth or OMRON connect support
Power
Power	Four 1.5 V AAA alkaline cells; approximately 400 measurements using new batteries, not a separate MAM-cycle count. Microlife DC 6 V, 600 mA adapter optional in global guide; Ukrainian bundle list includes adapter despite technical table calling it optional. NiMH cells supported with external charging; no internal battery charging	Four 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

Display details
Display details	LCD with date/time, user, AFIB/MAM and interval indications; START/STOP, memory, time and forward/backward controls. Separate lock switch prevents accidental activation. USB, cuff and DC sockets. IP20	Digital LCD; monitor IP21
Size
Size	160 × 80 × 32 mm; 354 g including batteries in exact guide and maker pages	Manual 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 box
In the box	Ukrainian maker lists preformed M-L 22–42 cm cuff, cuff holder, USB cable, four AAA alkaline cells, adapter, textile bag and blood-pressure diary. Regional bundle differences and the adapter table conflict remain explicit	Monitor, HEM-FL31 cuff, four AA batteries, instruction manuals 1/2 and storage case
