Withings BPM Core: Why You Cannot Buy It in the US
By the BP Monitor Lab editorial team · Written from manufacturer documentation and published guidance, not from our own device testing · Last checked: August 23, 2026
Short answer
The Withings BPM Core is not sold in the United States and we could find no FDA clearance for it. Plenty of round-ups still list it as a top US pick. They are wrong. If you want blood pressure and an ECG in one home cuff here, the Omron Complete 2-in-1 is the one that is cleared and on sale.
What the BPM Core does
It is a one-piece upper arm cuff with three sensors. It measures blood pressure. It records a single-lead ECG to screen for atrial fibrillation. And it has a digital stethoscope that records the sound of your heart valves, which the Withings app then analyses. No other home cuff does that third thing.
That is also the catch. A device that records and interprets heart sounds is a bigger regulatory ask than a cuff that reports two numbers, and clearance for the US market has not arrived.
How we checked
- We searched the openFDA 510(k) database for every Withings clearance. The BP monitors, the Scan Monitor, the ECG App and BeamO are all there. The BPM Core is not.
- Withings' own US store page for the BPM Core has carried a coming soon state rather than a buy button.
- The Amazon catalogue returns the BPM Connect and the newer BPM Vision for US shoppers, and no BPM Core.
Do not confuse it with the BPM Connect
This is the most common mix-up we see. The Withings BPM Connect is sold in the US and is a good monitor, but it has no ECG. Neither does the newer BPM Vision. Only the BPM Core has one, and that is the model you cannot get here.

Frequently asked questions
Can I buy the Withings BPM Core in the United States?
No. Withings sells the BPM Core in Europe, and its US store has listed the device as coming soon rather than in stock. If you find one on a US marketplace it is an imported unit with no US warranty or support.
Is the Withings BPM Core FDA-cleared?
We could not find any FDA 510(k) clearance for the BPM Core. Searching the openFDA device database for Withings returns clearances for its blood pressure monitors, the Scan Monitor, the ECG App and BeamO, but nothing for the BPM Core. Withings has said it was working with the FDA on clearance. Until that clearance appears in the database, treat any claim that the BPM Core is FDA-cleared as unverified.
What does the BPM Core actually do?
Three things in one cuff. It measures blood pressure. It records a single-lead ECG that screens for atrial fibrillation. And it has a digital stethoscope that records heart valve sounds for the Withings app to analyse. That third function is what makes it unusual, and it is also part of why clearance is harder to get.
What can I buy in the US instead?
The Omron Complete 2-in-1 is the home cuff that pairs blood pressure with an ECG in the US. The FDA cleared it in March 2019 under K182579 as the Omron BP7900 Blood Pressure Monitor + EKG. It has no stethoscope function, so it will not analyse valve sounds, but for blood pressure plus rhythm it does the job.
Is the Withings BPM Connect the same thing?
No, and this trips people up constantly. The BPM Connect is Withings' blood pressure monitor that is sold in the US, and it has no ECG at all. The newer BPM Vision does not have one either. If someone tells you a Withings cuff records an ECG in the US, they are thinking of the BPM Core, which is not available here.
Should I import one?
We would not. A blood pressure monitor is a medical device, and an imported unit gives you no US warranty, no US support, and no recourse if it reads wrong. For a device you may use to make decisions about medication, that is a poor trade for a stethoscope feature.
