Summary: Acv8rlives Pulse Oximeter Bluetooth 4.0
Please read this manual carefully before you use your
new device so that you do not injure yourself or oth-
ers, or cause damage to your new device through im-
proper use.
The Acv8rlives Pulse Oximeter Bluetooth 4.0 is a sim-
ple device which allows you to monitor aspects of your
cardiovascular funcon—especially if you have Asth-
ma, Chronic Obstrucve Pulmonary Disease (COPD),
Cysc Fibrosis (CF) and need to track you oxygen satu-
raon levels and pulse rate.
It sends informaon to your private personal Acv8rlives account via your Bluetooth 4.0
enabled Smartphone or Tablet so that you can see how well you are doing and keep track
of your health and wellbeing. You can stay commied to your goals by forming groups with
other members of your family, club, school or by joining our online communies. By work-
ing together in groups, we are more successful in achieving our health goals. Acv8rlives is
designed to help you achieve this.
The Acv8rlives Pulse Oximeter Bluetooth 4.0 helps you understand how your cardiovascu-
lar funcon can change throughout the week, during periods of ill health or as you change
your weight and acvity levels. It measures your oxygen saturaon levels of your blood
and your pulse rate using non-invasive monitoring technology.
When used with the Acv8rlives website, this device will help you to work out how close to
your target values you are at any given me. This manual shows you how to quickly set-up
your Acv8rlives Pulse Oximeter — it will take just 5 minutes if you follow this guide
through.
Included is a FREE Smartphone App and website, which also tracks your food intake via our
photo-based Food Diary and these images are sent directly to your Free Acv8rlives ac-
count. Your acvity, body composion and food intake can then all be viewed on a single
page. Talk about cause and eect—very powerful.

How does the Acv8rlives Pulse Oximeter
Bluetooth 4.0 work?
The Acv8rlives Pulse Oximeter Bluetooth 4.0 is a non-invasive method allowing the
monitoring of the saturaon of a haemoglobin in your blood.
A sensor is placed on a thin part of your body, usually a ngerp or earlobe (separate
adapter required).
Light of two wavelengths is passed through the nger (or earlobe) to a
photodetector. The changing absorbance at each of the two wavelengths (600 nm
and 880nm) is measured, allowing determinaon of 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 in most cases nail polish.
A blood-oxygen monitor displays the percentage of arterial haemaglobin in the
oxyhaemoglobin conguraon. Acceptable normal ranges for paents without COPD
with a hypoxic drive problem are from 95-99 percent (%), in those with a hypoxic
drive problem would expect values between 88-94%. Values of 100% can indicate
carbon monoxide poisoning. 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 tends 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 Oximeter Bluetooth 4.0 and it will not funcon if there isn’t one.
Your Pulse Oximeter will therefore give you two important pieces of informaon:
your oxygen saturaon levels and your pulse rate.
If in doubt, contact your Doctor for advice.

Display and Buon
Your Acv8rlives Pulse Oximeter has two parts, the DISPLAY (LCD) and the on/o BUTTON. It
is also supplied with a storage box and Quick Guide Instrucon manual.
Your Acv8rlives Pulse Oximeter also has a nger size adjustment which can accommodate
larger circumference ngers to be measures.

Adding the Baeries
Your Acv8rlives Pulse Oximeter Bluetooth 4.0 uses two AAA 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 baeries in the direcon indicated.
Replace the cover. The DISPLAY should light up now.
If not used, it will power o aer about 30 seconds. A
faulty operaon would make it power o.
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 sign on the DISPLAY is shown as “LO”.

Note: Do not tamper or aempt to open the unit in which the
baery is housed, your warranty will be invalidated. Substances
contained within the baery may damage the environment or
human health if handled and thus is a risk of electrical shock or
burns. When disposing of this product, ensure that it is collected
separately for special treatment and not as normal household
waste.
