Summary
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 Acv8rlives Blood Pressure Bluetooth 4.0 monitor is an easy-to-use device that can
measure your blood pressure — especially useful if you suer from previously diagnosed
condions which result in high or low blood pressure.
This device is intended for measuring the blood pressure on the upper arm for people with
an upper arm circumference of 22 to 42 cm (about 9-17 inches). It is intended for use by
adults only and for use indoors.
This product uses the Oscillometric Measuring Method to detect blood pressure. Before
every measurement, it establishes a “zero point” equivalent to atmospheric pressure. Then
it inates the cu. The device detects pressure oscillaons generated beat-to-beat by your
heart. It measures two pressures called: Systolic pressure and Diastolic pressure, as well as
your pulse rate.
The Acv8rlives Blood Pressure Bluetooth 4.0 monitor also measures the interval between
your pulse waves and determines the standard deviaon. If the standard deviaon is
above a certain level, it gives a warning of an irregular heart beat.
Self-monitoring is a powerful way to self-manage your health and wellbeing. However, it is
not self-diagnosis and you should not use this device to self-diagnose medical condions.
If in any doubt about your health, please consult your medical team rst and follow their
advice closely.

Self-monitoring your parameters of health and those of your family, is a powerful way to
maintain your health and wellbeing, especially if you have a long-term health condion —
and 42% of us adults do.

Health and Safety Noces
WARNINGS: This device is intended for home indoor use by the user only. It is not
intended or cered for use by medical professionals with paents during
procedures, treatment or transport.
You should NOT use this device if you:
 are pregnant and are suering from pre-eclampsia;
 have an implanted medical device of any kind;
 have atrial brillaon;
 premature ventricular beats; or
 peripheral arterial disease.
If in any doubt, please consult your Doctor.
 If you are allergic to Dacron or plascs, you should NOT use this device.
 This device is intended for non-invasive measuring and monitoring of arterial
blood pressure. It is not intended for use on extremies other than the upper
arm or for funcons other than obtaining a blood pressure measurement.
 Please use this device as specied in this manual or the results may become
inaccurate.
 Do not start or end medical treatments based on informaon obtained from
this device. Only make changes on the instrucon of your Doctor. If you are
taking medicaon, consult your Doctor as to the best me for you to take
measurements. Never change your medicaon regime other than under the
instrucon of your Doctor.
 This device is not suitable for connuous monitoring during medical
emergencies, operaons or in transporng paents. Aer the cu has been
inated for a long period, blood ow to the arm and ngers will be restricted
and should be removed.
 If the pressure in the cu exceeds 40 kPa (300 mmHg) the unit will
automacally deate. If the cu does not deate when its pressure exceeds
this limit, detach the cu from your arm and turn o the device immediately
to prevent injury.
 Do not use this monitor in strong electric or magnec elds that radiate
interference signal or electrical fast transient/burst signal.

Safety Noces connued
Please keep reading. It is important.
 This device is not spark-proof and should not be used in atmospheres
containing ammable vapours, pure oxygen environments or anaesthec
gases.
 Please keep this unit out of reach of infants, small children and pets as it
contains small parts, which are a potenal choking hazard.
 Only use the accessories provided, especially the cu and charger. If in doubt,
please contact Acv8rlives.
 It is especially important that only the charger provided is used (with
Internaonal adaptors). Use of other chargers could damage your device,
reduce baery life and void the warranty.
 The chargers provided isolate the device from the mains supply. Do not
posion the charger plug in a posion where it is dicult to disconnect from
the mains supply in case of electrical failure of the device or its charger.
 The cu should always be aached to the device. The device has a Luer-type
connector. These types of connectors are also used to join medical tubing of
other devices and medicaon. Great care should be taken not to inadvertently
connect the device to other intravascular tubing with the risk of pumping air
into the blood vessels causing serious injury or even death.

Charging and Baery
2
The Acv8rlives Blood Pressure Bluetooth 4.0
monitor contains a non user-replaceable Lithium ion
baery. Please do not aempt to open the unit to
access the baery. The baery has been pre-
condioned and charged for you but may require a
further charge before rst use.
To maximise baery life, charge the device fully
each me you recharge it, but do not leave it on
charge for long periods once full charge has been
achieved. Allow the unit to completely run at
between charges if possible.
It takes approximately 2 hours to recharge.
Only use the charger supplied. It has been provided
with a set of Internaonal adaptors should you need
to travel overseas. Select the appropriate adapter
for use. Please retain the others should you need to
travel abroad.
Under normal use, it can be recharged about 300
mes. This is typically the life of a Li-polymer
baery. If you need to have the baery or any
component replaced, please return to Acv8rlives
for servicing.
You cannot use the Blood Pressure monitor during
charging.
