| MicrolifeBP B6 Connect | OmronM4 Connect AFib | |
|---|---|---|
| Overview | ||
| Released | – | – |
| Measuring | ||
| Type | Upper arm | Upper arm |
| Clinically validated | Yes | Yes |
| Irregular heartbeat detection | Yes | Yes |
| AFib detection or ECG | Yes | Yes |
| Method | Automatic oscillometric upper-arm measurement; first on-sale date not established | Automatic oscillometric upper-arm measurement; HEM-7196T1-FLE. First retail release date has not been established; the manual's December 2024 revision is not an on-sale date |
| Accuracy | Maker manual specifies static pressure accuracy of ±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 | STRIDE BP lists this exact model for adults and people with diabetes on approved equivalence to the Microlife BP B3 AFIB, with a validated 22–42 cm cuff; this is an equivalence listing rather than a separate direct validation trial of the B6 Connect | STRIDE BP approves this exact hardware code as equivalent to Omron BP760N (HEM-7320-Z), with adults, diabetes and pregnancy/preeclampsia listed; equivalent-device approval is distinct from a direct test of this model or validation of its AFib algorithm |
| Features | AFIBsens atrial fibrillation indication in MAM mode, which takes three measurements; separate irregular heartbeat indication, cuff fit and movement checks, LED blood pressure scale and MyCheck average comparison arrow | Pulse-wave screening for possible AFib, rather than an ECG or diagnosis; irregular heartbeat, body movement and cuff-wrap indicators. The exact manual describes three consecutive readings at 30-second intervals with their average; this conflicts with the UK page's averaging-function No table entry |
| Cuff | ||
| Cuff fits | 22–42 cm | 22–42 cm |
| Cuff | UK maker bundle has a conical rigid M–L cuff; global maker page instead shows a soft cuff variant | HEM-FL31 preformed Intelli Wrap Cuff; approximately 145 × 532 mm, 750 mm air tube and 163 g |
| Connections and memory | ||
| Users | 2 | 2 |
| Readings stored | 99 per user (better) | 60 per user |
| Bluetooth and app | Yes | Yes |

| App | Bluetooth transfer to Microlife Connected Health+ and USB connection to BP Analyzer+ on a computer | Bluetooth Low Energy sync with OMRON connect; readings can be transferred to a compatible smart device |
| Power | Four 1.5 V AA alkaline batteries or a DC 6 V, 600 mA mains adaptor; compatible with rechargeable batteries | 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 |
| Design | ||
| Display details | Large LCD with a separate LED classification scale and adjustable date/time | Digital LCD; monitor IP21 |
| Size | 157.5 × 105 × 61.5 mm; maker weight 415 g including batteries | Approximately 165 × 70 × 98 mm (W × H × L); monitor approximately 350 g without batteries |
