Method
Method	Automatic oscillometric upper-arm measurement during deflation; first on-sale date not established	Automatic oscillometric upper-arm measurement; HEM-7196-FLE, distinct from older M3 Comfort HEM-7155-E. First on-sale date not established
Accuracy
Accuracy	Maker manual specifies static pressure accuracy within ±3 mmHg and pulse accuracy of ±5% of the readout value; this specification is distinct from clinical validation	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 lists this exact model for home use in adults and people with diabetes, with a validated 22–42 cm cuff; its entry lists approved validation studies published in 2009, 2018 and 2021	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	AFIBsens atrial fibrillation indication is active only in MAM mode; separate irregular heartbeat indication, cuff fit check, movement error indication, traffic light classification scale and adjustable date/time	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
