IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Readings taken by the Physiologic LuminA blood pressure
monitor 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 monitor.
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 your readings,
along with regularly consulting a health professional, is an
important aspect of your overall blood pressure management
program.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
• 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.
• This device is intended for use by adults 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.
• If the cuff pressure exceeds 37.24 kPa (280 mmHg), the
unit will automatically deflate. Should the cuff not
deflate when pressure exceeds 37.24 kPa (280 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.

ABOUT BLOOD PRESSURE
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.
Blood Pressure Standard
Blood Pressure for Adults Age 18 and Older
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

ABOUT BLOOD PRESSURE
When your heart beats, it
contracts and pushes blood
through the arteries to the
rest of your body. This force
creates pressure on the arteries.
This is called systolic pressure.
A normal systolic blood pressure
is below 120.
The diastolic blood pressure number or the bottom number
indicates the pressure in the arteries when the heart rests
between beats. A normal diastolic blood pressure number
is less than 80.
What are systolic and diastolic pressure?

Systolic

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.

MEASUREMENT TIPS
Here are a few helpful tips to help you obtain more
accurate readings:
• Blood pressure changes with every heartbeat and
is in constant fluctuation throughout the day.
• Blood pressure readings can be affected by the
position of the user, his or her physiological condition
and other factors. For more accurate results, wait one
hour after exercising, bathing, eating, drinking beverages
with alcohol or caffeine, or smoking to measure
blood pressure.
• Before measurement, it’s suggested that you sit quietly
for 15 minutes as measurement taken during a relaxed
state will have greater accuracy. You should not be
physically tired or exhausted while taking a measurement.
• During measurement, do not talk or move your arm
or hand muscles.
• Take your blood pressure at normal body temperature.
If you are feeling cold or hot, wait a while before taking
a measurement.
• If the monitor is stored at very low temperature (near
freezing), have it placed at a warm location for at least
four hours before using it.
• Wait about 5 minutes between readings for accurate results.

BEFORE YOU START
It is important to set the clock before using your blood pressure
monitor, so that a time stamp can be assigned to each reading
that is stored in memory.
Selecting memory zone and setting date,
time & unit of measurement
1. When the unit is
off, press “SET” to
activate the system
settings mode.
2. There are 2 zones, which can each store up to 60 readings.
Select the desired memory zone using the “M” button.
Then, press “SET” to confirm and move on to the next step.

MEASUREMENT
1. Firmly insert air plug into opening located on left side
of the monitor.
Prepare the cuff
2. Wrap the cuff around your upper left arm. The tube should
be aligned to point toward your little finger, as illustrated.

MEASUREMENT
3. The 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 ± 1” between the cuff edge
and the bend of your elbow.
4. Sit comfortably with your left
arm resting on a flat surface
and the cuff at heart level.
If the pressure in the arm cuff becomes too powerful
while testing, press the START/STOP button to turn
power off. The cuff will then rapidly deflate.
CAUTION

13
MEASUREMENT
Start the measurement
1. Press and hold the START/STOP
button until you hear a beep.
The LCD will light up for one
second as the unit performs
a quick diagnosis. A long tone
indicates the device is ready
for testing.
NOTE: Unit will not function
if residual air from previous
testing is present in cuff.
The LCD will flash “ ”
until pressure is stabilized.
2. Initial pressure is first pumped
to 190 mmHg. The unit will
automatically adjust to one of
four pressure levels based on
the current user’s blood pressure.

14
MEASUREMENT
3. Once inflated, the cuff will
slowly deflate and measure
your blood pressure.
A flashing “ “ will appear
simultaneously on screen
signaling heart beat detection.
4. When testing is complete the
monitor will sound three short
beeps. The screen will display
your systolic and diastolic blood
pressure. The reading will be
automatically stored in the
selected memory zone.

15
MEASUREMENT
5. To measure again, press START/STOP
to return to testing mode.
NOTE
It is recommended to wait at least
5 minutes between measurements
for accurate results.
Irregular Heartbeat Indicator
If an irregular heart beat is detected at least twice during
measurement, the symbol will appear with the results.
An irregular heart beat is defined as one that is 25% slower
or faster than the average detected during measurement.
If your results are frequently accompanied by the symbol,
consult your physician.
