Inserng Baeries in Acv8rlives Pulse Oximeter3
Note: Do not tamper or aempt to open the unit in which the electronic components are housed, your
warranty will be invalidated. Substances contained within the baery may damage the environment or human
health if handled and thus a risk of electric shock or burns. When disposing of this product and its baeries,
ensure that it is collected separately for special treatment and not as normal household waste.
Your Acv8rlives Pulse Oximeter3 uses two AAA 1.5V
alkaline baeries, which are supplied. These are non-
rechargeable baeries and no aempt should be made
to recharge these.
Remove the back cover and add the 2 x AAA 1.5 V
alkaline baeries in the direcon indicated.
Replace the cover. The OLED Display should light up now
when you press the On/O Buon.
If not used, it will power o aer about 8 seconds to save
baery power. Flat baeries would also make it power
o before a reading has completed.
Remove the baeries if you are planning to store the
device for a long period of me. We hope you use your
device for many years of course, but long periods of
storage with the baeries in place may damage the
device and will cause the baeries to discharge.
Replace the set of baeries (2 x AAA) in the right
direcon when the baery symbol on the OLED Display
shows an empty or the low baery symbol.

How Does the Acv8rlives Pulse Oximeter3 Work?
The Acv8rlives Pulse Oximeter3 is a non-invasive wireless method allowing the monitoring of the saturaon of
oxygen of the haemoglobin in your blood.
A sensor is placed on a thin part of your body, such as your ngerp. Light of two wavelengths is passed through
the nger to a photodetector. The changing absorbance at each of the two wavelengths (red 660nm and infrared
905nm) is measured, allowing it to determine the absorbances due to the pulsing arterial blood alone (the blood
owing from the heart and lungs), and excludes venous blood (the blood returning to the heart and lungs), skin,
bone, muscle, fat, and ngernails.
A blood-oxygen monitor displays the percentage of arterial haemoglobin (Hb) in the oxyhaemoglobin (HbO2).
Acceptable normal range from 95-99 percent (%). In those with a respiratory condion, they would expect values
between 88-94%. For a paent breathing room air at sea level, an esmate of arterial oxygen saturaon levels
(pO2) can be made from the blood-oxygen monitor SpO2 reading.
The monitored signal uctuates in me with the heart beat because the arterial blood vessels expand and
contract with each heart beat. By examining only the varying part of the absorpon spectrum (essenally
subtracng minimum absorpon from peak absorpon), a monitor can ignore other ssues or nail polish (though
black nail polish or false ngernails tend to distort readings) and discern only the absorpon caused by arterial
blood. Detecng a pulse is therefore essenal to the operaon of the Acv8rlives Pulse Oximeter3 and it will not
funcon if there isn’t one. See Page 19 for instrucons on obtaining accurate and consistent readings.
Your Acv8rlives Pulse Oximeter3 will give you two important pieces of informaon: your oxygen saturaon
levels (SpO2) and your pulse rate in beats per minute (bpm).
If in doubt about your health, please consult your medical team rst and follow their advice closely.

10
SpO2 and Heart Rate Values at Rest
These values have been created from populaon tables of the normal distribuon of oxygen saturaon and Heart
Rate values within the general populaon. The colour coding by trac light colours are a good indicator if the
reading is Normal or Fair - Green zone, Poor or Concern - Amber zone or Alert - Red zone.
NEWS
The Naonal Early Warning Score (NEWS), like many exisng Early Warning Score systems, is based on a simple
scoring system in which a number is allocated to physiological measurements (Vital Signs) rounely measured in
hospital and recorded on the paent clinical chart. The six simple physiological parameters form the basis of the
scoring system:
1. Respiratory rate;
2. Oxygen saturaons;
3. Temperature;
4. Systolic blood pressure;
5. Heart rate; and
6. Level of consciousness.
A score is allocated to each of these Vital Signs as
they are measured and added together, and the
magnitude of the score reects how extreme the
parameter varies from the norm.
The Royal College of Physicians (RCP) advocates
standardising the use of a NEWS system across
the NHS in order to drive the ‘step change’
required in the assessment and response to acute
illness.

11
Indicaon of Pulse Intensity
The Acv8rlives Pulse Oximeter3 also measures the Indicaon of Pulse Intensity (IPI). This is the strength of
the pulsale or pulse blood ow.
The Acv8rlives Pulse Oximeter3 opmal pulse oximetry monitoring and accuracy is dependent on the selecon
of a monitoring site (e.g. ngerp) characterised by good perfusion or a higher Indicaon of Pulse Intensity with
oxygenated blood. Once the Plethysmograph (pulse rate waveform) has become stable and the IPI is medium to
high, then it is me to take your reading. See Page 19 for more details but keeping sll, calming your heart rate
and breathing, and having warmer hands helps get a more accurate pulse oximeter reading. Somemes you will
need to select a dierent nger that may give a higher IPI and a more accurate reading.
