Method
Method	Oscillometric upper-arm measurement during deflation with Gentle+ control. Side switch selects single measurement or AFIB/MAM triple mode; three readings separated by 15 seconds produce one analysed result. Questionable reading triggers a fourth; individual triple results are not displayed. 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 French-linked non-Bluetooth S-V10-1 guide gives blood pressure 20–280 mmHg and pulse 40–200 bpm; global support instead lists systolic 60–255 and diastolic 40–200 mmHg. 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 A7 Touch for adult and diabetic home use by equivalence to BP A100, with referenced 2009, 2018 and 2021 studies. This is not an independent exact-model trial for every special population claimed by maker. Registry's dual-arm feature does not establish two simultaneous cuff inputs on this single-socket device	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 pulse-irregularity screening active only in AFIB/MAM triple mode; no ECG recording or ECG-confirmed diagnosis. Cuff-fit and arm-movement indications, pressure classification 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	French maker supplies preformed M-L 22–42 cm cuff. 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	Touch user selection chooses user 1, user 2 or guest mode, whose readings are not stored. Two dated histories of 99 readings each; first recall shows an average, whose interval is not specified in exact guide. Oldest overwritten when full; complete selected-user history can be cleared, individual saved readings cannot. Newly displayed reading 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	USB Mini-B five-pin cable transfers stored readings to Microlife Blood Pressure Analyzer+ PC software. No Bluetooth function in exact non-Bluetooth controls or guide. Separate A7 Touch BT is a different existing model; global A7 Touch support page now links BT manuals, which are not used for this record	No Bluetooth or OMRON connect support
Power
Power	French exact guide and product list four 1.5 V AAA alkaline cells and approximately 400 measurements with new batteries; global support instead says AA. Regional source conflict retained, not borrowed from A7 Touch BT. Microlife DC 6 V, 600 mA adapter optional in guide while French bundle includes it. NiMH cells supported with external charging; no internal 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	Touch display with date/time, memory, start and user-selection controls, separate forward/backward and enter controls. Lock switch prevents accidental activation; side single/triple switch, cuff, USB and DC sockets. IP20	Digital LCD; monitor IP21
Size
Size	French non-Bluetooth S-V10-1 guide and product page give 160 × 82 × 35 mm and 312 g including batteries. Global non-Bluetooth support instead gives 157.5 × 105 × 61.5 mm and 415 g including batteries; conflicting regional figures retained without assuming they describe an unannounced revision	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	French maker lists preformed M-L 22–42 cm cuff, USB cable, four AAA alkaline cells, adapter, large textile storage bag and blood-pressure diary. Guide calls adapter optional; regional bundle differences remain qualified	Monitor, HEM-FL31 cuff, four AA batteries, instruction manuals 1/2 and storage case
