Your Activ8rlives SmartOne Peak Flow & FEV1 Meter
Please read this manual carefully before you use your new device so that you do not injure
yourself or others, or cause damage to your new device through improper use.
The Activ8rlives SmartOne® Peak Flow and FEV1 Meter is a simple electronic device, which allows
you to monitor your lung function especially useful if you have Asthma, Chronic Obstructive
Pulmonary Disease (COPD), Cystic Fibrosis (CF) or Bronchiectasis and need to track your Peak
Expiratory (PEF) and Forced Expiratory Flow at 1 second (FEV1).
It sends information to your private free Activ8rlives account via Bluetooth connection to your
smart device. You can see how well you are doing and keep track of your health and wellbeing.
You can stay committed to your goals by forming groups with other members of your family,
club, school or by joining our online communities. By working together in groups, we are more
successful in achieving our health goals. Activ8rlives is designed to help you achieve this.
The Activ8rlives SmartOne Peak Flow Meter helps you to understand how your lung function can
change throughout the week, during periods of ill health, change of medication or as you
change your weight and activity levels. It measures your Peak Expiratory Flow rate (PEF) and also
determines how restricted your airways are (FEV1) using a non-invasive monitoring technology.
When you view your data with either the Activ8rlives website or App, this device will help you to
work out how close to your target values you are at any given time. This manual shows you how
to quickly set-up your Activ8rlives SmartOne Peak Flow Meter —it will take just 5 minutes if you
follow this guide through.
Optional: Included is a Smartphone App, which also tracks your food intake via our photo-based
Food Diary and these images are sent directly to your Activ8rlives account. Your activity, body
composition and food intake can then all be viewed on a single page. Talk about cause and
effect—very powerful.
If in any doubt about your health, please consult your medical team first and follow their advice
closely.

Adding the Batteries
Your Activ8rlives SmartOne Peak Flow meter uses two AAA 1.5V alkaline batteries, which are
supplied. These are non-rechargeable batteries and no attempt should be made to recharge
these.
Open the battery compartment from underneath and insert 2 x AAA batteries in the direction
indicated. Replace the cover.
There is no DISPLAY to show whether the Activ8rlives SmartOne Peak Flow is on, but once you
connect the Activ8rlives4Wellness and Diary App and Bluetooth is switched on, once selection
of the Upload Devices page, the App displays all devices serial number within range for more
details see Page 20.
Remove the batteries if you are planning to store the device for a long period of time. We hope
you use your device for many years of course, but long periods of storage with the batteries in
place may damage the device and will cause the batteries to discharge.
Replace the set of batteries (2 x 1.5V AAA) in the right direction when the batteries are
exhausted. No data is stored on the device in memory, so exchange of batteries will not affect
data storage.
Cleaning and Disinfection
It is recommended that you disinfect the Mouthpiece and Turbine before its first use and at
least once a week using the following procedures. Never immerse the Activ8rlives SmartOne
Peak Flow meter’s central unit in water or disinfecting solution.
Disconnect the Mouthpiece and Turbine from the central device by twisting it counterclock-
wise and simply pulling it out.
Soak the Turbine and Mouthpiece in a cold detergent or disinfection solution and shake it to
remove any impurities inside it. Leave it to soak for the length of time suggested by the clean-
ing or disinfection solution manufacturers.
Rinse both the Turbine and Mouthpiece by dipping it in clean cold water. Drain the Turbine and
Mouthpiece and shake it vigorously. Leave it to dry by laying it with the shaft vertical on a
clean piece of paper towel. Reassemble the Mouthpiece onto the Turbine and lock into posi-
tion by turning the Turbine in a clockwise direction and as indicated on the Main Unit.
Do not immerse the Turbine or Mouthpiece in BOILING WATER, ALCOHOL or OILY CLEANING SO-
LUTIONS. Never try to clean the Turbine under a DIRECT JET of WATER or other liquids. Do not use
a JET of HOT AIR from a HAIRDRYER or similar to dry the Turbine or Mouthpiece.

How Does Activ8rlives SmartOne Peak Flow Work?
The Activ8rlives SmartOne Peak Flow and FEV1 meter is a non-invasive method allowing the
monitoring of the Peak Expiratory Flow (PEF), also called Peak Expiratory Flow Rate (PEFR), which
is a person’s maximum speed of expiration. FEV1is also measured and is the volume of air
expelled during the first second of the same exhalation.
The Activ8rlives SmartOne Peak Flow meter is a small, hand-held device used to monitor a
person’s ability to breathe out air. It measures the airflow through the bronchi of the lungs and
can be used to estimate the degree of obstruction in the airways. When there is an episode of
obstruction the air cannot generally be expelled as forcefully as possible, so your PEF and FEV1
will be lower.
Peak Flow readings are higher when we are well, and lower when the airways are constricted.
From changes in recorded values, we may determine lung functionality, severity of Asthma or
other respiratory symptoms and treatment, and how well our treatment is working.
Measurement of PEF requires some practise to correctly use a meter and the normal expected
value depends on a patient’s gender, age and height. It is classically reduced in lung disorders
such as Asthma, COPD, Bronchiectasis or Cystic Fibrosis.
Due to the wide range of Normal values and high degree of variability, peak flow is not the
recommended test to identify respiratory disease. However, it can be useful in some
circumstances to monitor the severity of it or efficacy of treatment.
It is important to use the same peak flow meter every time to ensure consistency of the
readings.
It is generally recommended to take one measurement in the morning and one in the evening,
every day, before inhaling your prescribed medication. Also it is advisable to carry out
additional measurements whenever you feel unwell or have a perceived shortness of breath.
The highest peak flow value is the measurement of interest. Repeat your measurement three
times to get the best possible result for the moment. Take care to have sufficient relaxation
between measurements.
The Normal value (Target value) for PEF varies according to gender age and height. The chart
on page 12 of this manual can be used to read-off your Normal value. This is calculated for you
automatically in Activ8rlives. Enter this value in your Target PEF when registering for your Free
Activ8rlives account.
If in doubt, contact your Doctor or Respiratory Nurse for advice.

What Your Measurement Means
Peak flow values are often classified into 3 zones of measurement according to the American
Lung Association: Green, Amber and Red.
Doctors and health practitioners develop self-management plans based on the green-amber-
red zones.
This device automatically stores the highest (best) value to date, with the green range being
any reading above 80% of this best value. A reading in the yellow range indicates a reading be-
tween 60% and 80% of the best value. A reading in the red range indicates a reading below
60% of the best value. However, these ranges can be set manually within the software.
Green Zone: 80 to 100 percent of the usual or normal peak flow readings indicating that your
lungs are clear. A peak flow reading in the green zone indicates that the lung function manage-
ment is under good control.
Amber Zone: 50 to 79 percent of the usual or normal peak flow readings indicates caution. It
may mean respiratory airways are narrowing and additional medication may be required.
Red Zone: Less than 50 percent of the usual or normal peak flow readings. Indicates a medi-
cal emergency. Severe airway narrowing may be occurring and immediate action needs to be
taken. This would usually involve contacting a doctor or hospital.
The readings for this female volunteer indicates that her Peak Flow (PEF) and FEV1 on this reading
are within the Amber zones and it may mean that there is narrowing or constriction of her air-
ways and needs to seek advice from a medical professional.
If in doubt as to what your reading means,
contact your Doctor or Respiratory Nurse.
