Measuring
TypeUpper armUpper arm
Clinically validatedYesYes
Irregular heartbeat detectionYesYes
AFib detection or ECGYesYes
MethodAutomatic oscillometric upper-arm measurement; HEM-7196-FLE, distinct from older M3 Comfort HEM-7155-E. First on-sale date not establishedAutomatic oscillometric upper-arm measurement; HEM-7380-E, distinct from older M6 Comfort generations
AccuracyMaker'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/minuteMaker'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 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 algorithmSTRIDE BP approves HEM-7380-E as equivalent to Omron BP760N (HEM-7320-Z), whose blood-pressure studies cover adults, type 2 diabetes and pregnancy/preeclampsia; equivalent-device approval is distinct from a direct test of this exact monitor and from AFib algorithm validation
FeaturesPulse-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 averageScreens pulse waves for possible AFib during a routine measurement, rather than recording an ECG or making a diagnosis; irregular heartbeat, body movement and cuff-wrap indicators. TruRead averages three readings with a selectable interval; morning/evening weekly averages
