Microlife BP W70 BT vs Omron RS3 Intelli IT
Better figure, where one is clearly better
| MicrolifeBP W70 BT | OmronRS3 Intelli IT | |
|---|---|---|
| Overview | ||
| Released | – | – |
| Measuring | ||
| Type | Wrist | Wrist |
| Clinically validated | – | Yes |
| Irregular heartbeat detection | Yes | Yes |
| AFib detection or ECG | No | No |
| Method | Automatic oscillometric wrist measurement during inflation, Comfort+ pressure control and Quiet Inflation technology. European BP W70 BT; non-Bluetooth W70 is separate hardware. First-sale date not established | Oscillometric wrist measurement; HEM-6161T-E. First on-sale date not established |
| Accuracy | Manufacturer's BP3KN1-3B regulatory-filed US draft specifies static pressure accuracy ±3 mmHg and pulse ±5% of readout. European product page gives systolic 60–255 mmHg, diastolic 40–200 mmHg and pulse 40–199 beats/minute; cuff-pressure display range 0–299 mmHg is separate | Maker's pressure accuracy ±3 mmHg and pulse accuracy ±5%; systolic range 60–260 mmHg, diastolic 40–215 mmHg and pulse 40–180 beats/minute |
| Clinical validation | European maker claims clinical ISO validation but independent exact-model study not recovered; headline omitted. FCC radio authorisation is not clinical validation | Medaval attributes STRIDE BP adult self-measurement recommendation to HEM-6181 equivalence, noting that the unpublished assessment cannot be verified against MDR requirements. Exact manual says pregnancy use has not been validated |
| Features | European page describes MAM three-measurement averaging, while Asia-Pacific page describes SmartMAM without a count. US regulatory draft describes three readings with 15-second intervals and an additional reading if needed, despite stray double-measurement wording. Keep regional mode differences explicit. Ordinary IHB, cuff-fit and movement checks; no dedicated AFib screening | Cuff-wrap, hypertension and irregular-heartbeat indicators; no advanced wrist-height sensor, movement indicator, averaging, AFib screening or ECG. Web FAQ positioning wording does not establish a sensor |
| Cuff | ||
| Cuff fits | 13.5–21.5 cm | 13.5–21.5 cm |
| Cuff | European and French maker pages specify 13.5–21.5 cm wrist cuff; US BP3KN1-3B draft specifies 13.5–23 cm. Headline retains European range rather than transferring the larger regional cuff | Wrist circumference 13.5–21.5 cm |
| Connections and memory | ||
| Users | 2 (better) | 1 |
| Readings stored | 99 per user (better) | 30 |
| Bluetooth and app | Yes | Yes |
| Memory | French maker page confirms two users with 99 stored readings each. US draft describes time-button user selection, last-three-reading average excluding suboptimal cuff fit, oldest-record overwrite and retention after battery replacement; these operating details are regional draft evidence, not a confirmed final European instruction revision | Up to 30 internal readings for one user; stored results transfer to the app. The exact instructions do not describe browsing earlier readings on the monitor |
| App | Bluetooth Low Energy transfer to Microlife Connected Health+ (European maker). Asia-Pacific maker specifies Bluetooth 4.2; exact European version omitted. Regulatory-filed US draft has older pairing instructions, so current app controls may differ | Bluetooth low energy transfers readings to OMRON connect automatically within one hour or manually using the Bluetooth button; device compatibility depends on the app |
| Power | Two 1.5 V AAA alkaline batteries (European maker); US regulatory draft claims approximately 300 measurements with new batteries. No internal charging established | Two AAA alkaline batteries included; approximately 300 measurements with new alkaline batteries |
| Design | ||
| Display details | LCD with memory, ON/OFF and time controls; wrist-position guidance and traffic-light scale. US regulatory draft describes blue LED and five height-guidance levels; its IP22 rating is not transferred as a confirmed European rating | Digital LCD; IP22 |
| Size | 82 × 64 × 13.9 mm. European, French and Asia-Pacific sites state 78 ±5 g including batteries; US regulatory draft states 120 ±5 g including batteries. Conflicting regional mass claims retained rather than treated as a settled measurement | Approximately 84 × 62 × 21 mm (W × H × L, excluding cuff); 2022 manual gives 85 g without batteries, versus web table's rounded 90 g |
| In the box | US regulatory-filed draft lists instructions, storage box, blood-pressure diary and two AAA cells; European package contents not independently confirmed | Monitor, two AAA alkaline batteries, storage case, instruction manual and setup instructions |
