Overview

Measuring
TypeUpper armUpper arm
Clinically validatedYesYes
Irregular heartbeat detectionYesYes
AFib detection or ECGYesYes
MethodAutomatic oscillometric upper-arm measurement; first on-sale date not establishedAutomatic 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
AccuracyMaker manual specifies static pressure accuracy of ±3 mmHg and pulse accuracy of ±5% of the readout value; this specification is distinct from clinical validationMaker'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 validationSTRIDE 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 ConnectSTRIDE 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
FeaturesAFIBsens 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 arrowPulse-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
