Prism Medical Ltd.

(PM:TSX-VEN) is proud to announce that Patient Lifts of New


England (PLNE), a Prism Medical Company operating across the northeastern USA, has
successfully obtained accreditation under The Medicare Modernization Act (MMA).

Vaughan, ON, September 30, 2009 -- Prism Medical Ltd. (PM:TSX-VEN) is proud to
announce that Patient Lifts of New England (PLNE), a Prism Medical Company
operating across the northeastern USA, has successfully obtained accreditation
under The Medicare Modernization Act (MMA). Designed to hold durable medical
equipment providers to a high regulatory standard, any company wishing to
participate in Medicare programs must obtain accreditation by an organization
approved by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). PLNE obtained
its accreditation through The Compliance Team, Inc., P.O. BOX 160, 905 Sheble
Lane, Suite 102 Spring House PA 19477, (215) 654-9110. www.exemplaryprovider.com.

Toni Esposito (BSN, ATP) of The Compliance Team Inc had this to say about the
PLNE’s efforts. “The company has done a brilliant job applying the program within
the organization.”

PNLE’s core business is installing, servicing and maintaining a wide variety of


equipment in long term care, acute care facilities and private homes. According to
Robin Hale, PNLE regional manager, CMS accreditation was important for the
company. “Becoming an accredited organization has made us a more focused business,
not only in servicing and meeting the needs of our client’s, employees and our
vendors, but also in assisting us in becoming a quality organization within the
durable medical equipment arena.” Robin also thanked the Compliance Team Inc for
all the hard work. “They truly care about our patients. I am so proud of our staff
and their commitment to this program and its ability to obtain a 99% percent score
for compliance”.

Charley Wallace, President of Prism Medical USA, seconded Robin’s opinion and had
this to add. “Not only is Medicare-based business important, but accreditation
demonstrates the high level of equipment and service PNLE and Prism Medical offers
their client base. Accreditation also sends important signals to private health
organizations such as Blue Cross, that the company operates according to the
highest standards. Medicare accreditation shows we’re a company you can trust,
that you can do business with us.”
