Readings taken by the are equivalent to those obtained
by a trained observer using the cuff and stethoscope auscultation method.
This manual contains important safety and care information, and provides
step by step instruction for using the product. Read this manual thoroughly
before using the product.
PhysioLogic PrismA
Your physician's reading may sometimes differ from your home readings.
This could be related to a phenomenon known as “white coat syndrome”.
You should not assume that any single reading taken is your usual
blood pressure.
In fact, blood pressure varies constantly throughout the day.
Common activities affect your level of heart activity and stress, thereby
influencing your blood pressure.
Note: It is important that you take home readings regularly, and that you
follow the procedures and precautions mentioned in the instruction
manual. Consistently recording/charting your readings, along with regularly
consulting a health professional, is an important aspect of your overall
blood pressure management program.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
ATTENTION
•
•This device is intended for adult use only.
•This device is intended for non-invasive measuring and monitoring of arterial blood pressure.
It is not intended for use on extremities other than the arm or for functions other than
obtaining a blood pressure measurement.
•Do not confuse self-monitoring with self-diagnosis. This unit allows you to monitor your
blood pressure. Do not begin or end medical treatment based solely on readings obtained
from this device. Always consult a physician before starting any treatment.
•If you are taking medication, consult your physician to determine the most appropriate time
to measure your blood pressure. Never change a prescribed medication without consulting
your physician.
•This unit is not suitable for continuous monitoring during medical emergencies or operations.
•If the cuff pressure exceeds 40 kPa (300 mmHg), the unit will automatically deflate.
Should the cuff not deflate when pressure exceeds 40 kPa (300 mmHg), detach the cuff
from the arm and press the (START / STOP) button to stop inflation.
•To avoid measurement errors, carefully read this manual before using the product.
This Blood Pressure Monitor does not replace examination by a physician. As your doctor is
the one person best qualified to interpret your results, we recommend that you keep a blood
pressure journal to bring to your visits to your healthcare professional.

ABOUT BLOOD PRESSUREABOUT BLOOD PRESSURE
Blood Pressure Standard
The Joint National Committee on prevention, detection, evaluation, and treatment of high blood pressure has developed a blood
pressure standard, according to which areas of low and high risk
blood pressure are identified. This standard is a guideline as blood
pressure varies among different people and different age groups.
It is important that you consult with your physician regularly.
Your physician will tell you your normal blood pressure range
as well as the point at which you will be considered at risk.
Category Systolic (mmHg) Diastolic (mmHg)
Stage 2 Hypertension > 160 or > 100
Stage 1 Hypertension 140-159 or 90-99
Prehypertension 120-139 or 80-89
Normal < 120 and < 80
Blood Pressure for Adults Age 18 and Older
Blood pressure fluctuates all the time! You should not be overly
worried if you encounter two or three measurements at high levels.
Blood pressure changes over the month and throughout the day.
Prisma hypertension indicator
The PrismA Blood Pressure monitor has a built in hypertension
indicator that will rate your blood pressure according to the
specifications listed below. The PrismA hypertension indicator
should only be used as a guideline.

Diastolic
What are systolic and diastolic pressure?
When ventricles contract and pump
blood out of the heart, blood pressure
reaches its maximum value. The highest
pressure in the cycle is known as
systolic pressure. When the heart
relaxes between heartbeats, the lowest
blood pressure is diastolic pressure.

1. Wrap the Flex-Fit cuff around your
left upper arm. The tube should be
aligned to point toward your little
finger, as illustrated.
TM
2. The Flex-Fit cuff should
be snug but not too tight.
(You should be able to
insert one finger between
the cuff and your arm).
Keep a space of about 1”
between the cuff edge and
the bend of your elbow.
3. Sit comfortably with your
left arm resting on a flat
surface and the cuff at
heart level.
Tips for more
accurate readings:
• Rest for 5 mins before
measuring.
• Wait at least 3 minutes
between measurements.
This allows your blood circulation to recover.
• For a more useful comparison, try to measure
under similar conditions. For example, take daily
measurements at approximately the same time,
on the same arm, or as directed by a physician.
