Welch Allyn Home 1700 Review: The SureBP Monitor for Home
By the BP Monitor Lab editorial team · Written from manufacturer documentation and published guidance, not from our own device testing · Updated: October 6, 2026
The Home 1700 Series is listed by model on the US validated device listing. It uses SureBP, which measures while the cuff inflates. It stores one user and keeps no history on the device, so the app does the remembering. It costs more than most home monitors.

Independent validation: we can cite one
A listing or published study names this exact model.
It is listed by model on the US Blood Pressure Validated Device Listing. Listed as Welch Allyn Home 1700 Series (H-BP100SBP), model AASN-224, with XS, standard and XL cuffs. Alpert published a 1700-Series validation study in 2019.
What the Evidence Is, and Is Not
Two things back this monitor. It is on the US Blood Pressure Validated Device Listing under its own model number. And Alpert published a validation study of the 1700 Series in 2019.
An older version of this page named a validation protocol for it. We took that out. Our record holds the listing and the study. It does not hold a protocol name, so we do not print one.

No History on the Device
This is the trade to know about before you buy. The monitor shows each reading on its screen, and then it is gone. The log lives in the Welch Allyn Home app. If you will not use the app, you will be writing your numbers down by hand.
If you want a monitor that keeps its own history, the Omron Platinum BP5465 holds 100 readings each for two people. If you want no app at all, see monitors that work without an app.
Cuffs: One in the Box, Two Sold Separately
The cuff in the box fits arms from 8.75 to 16.5 inches. Extra small and extra large cuffs are sold separately. The XL cuff, for arms of 40 to 54 cm, is named in this model's own listing. So a large arm is measured with a cuff the listing covers. Measure your arm first with our cuff sizing guide.
Buy it if
- +You want the SureBP method used in Welch Allyn clinic monitors
- +Your arm needs the separately sold XL cuff, which this model is validated with
- +One person will use it, and will use the app
Skip it if
- -More than one person needs stored history
- -You want to spend under $100
- -You want the monitor itself to keep a history
- -You want AFib screening by name, or an ECG

What we have corrected on this page, and when. We publish the mistakes as well as the fixes.
- 2026-10-06: Replaced the Welch Allyn Home 1500 in the alternatives table with the Omron Silver BP5255. The 1500 has had no Amazon offer since September 3, 2026.
- 2026-10-06: Corrected the comparison with the Omron Platinum BP5465. The page said the two carry different evidence. On 2026-10-06 we found the Platinum listed by model on the US validated device listing, as the 1700 is.
- 2026-10-04: Rebuilt from the product record. Removed AAMI/ESH validated: our record holds a US listing and one study, not a protocol name.
- 2026-10-04: Corrected on-device memory to none (the page said 100 readings), batteries to AA (it said AAA), the app to required (it said optional), and the cuff to 8.75 to 16.5 inches with XS and XL cuffs sold separately.
- 2026-10-04: Removed a line about how the cuff feels, which we have never handled, and a pointer to an ECG monitor that is not sold in the US.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Welch Allyn Home 1700 validated?
It is listed by model on the US Blood Pressure Validated Device Listing, as Welch Allyn Home 1700 Series (H-BP100SBP), model AASN-224, with XS, standard and XL cuffs. Alpert published a validation study of the 1700 Series in 2019. We do not name a validation protocol for it, because our record holds the listing and the study and nothing more.
Does it work without the app?
It takes a reading and shows it on the screen. But it keeps no history on the device. Readings go to the Welch Allyn Home app or they are gone. If you want a log to show your doctor, you need the app, or a pen and paper.
What cuff does the Welch Allyn Home 1700 come with?
The cuff in the box fits arms from 8.75 to 16.5 inches. Extra small and extra large cuffs are sold separately. The US listing for this model covers the XL cuff, which fits 40 to 54 cm.
Does the Welch Allyn Home 1700 detect an irregular heartbeat?
It flags an irregular beat. It does not screen for atrial fibrillation by name, and it does not record an ECG. A flag is not a diagnosis. Only a clinician can diagnose a heart rhythm problem.
How many people can share it?
One. The record for this model holds one stored user. For two people, look at the Omron Platinum BP5465.
What is SureBP?
It is Welch Allyn's name for measuring while the cuff inflates. A reading takes about 20 seconds. It is a speed and comfort feature. It is not an averaging mode, so average your own readings.
Welch Allyn Home 1700 or Omron Platinum?
Both are listed by model on the US validated device listing. Alpert also published a validation of the 1700 Series in 2019. For the Platinum BP5465, Omron publishes ISO 81060-2 and leaves ESH-IP, AAMI and BHS blank. The Platinum screens for AFib by name, stores two users with 100 readings each on the device, and costs a price band less.
