LATITUDE Patient Management
System
The LATITUDE Patient Management System (referred
to as “LATITUDE system” throughout this manual) is
a remote monitoring system that gives your health
care provider access to your implanted device data
between scheduled ofce visits. The LATITUDE
system is designed to improve patient care while
providing convenience to you.
The LATITUDE system uses advanced security
methods to protect your personal medical information.
Only authorized health care providers have access to
your information through the secure clinician website.
The LATITUDE system is not meant to assist with
health emergencies. If you are not feeling well,
call your health care provider or dial emergency
services.
The LATITUDE Communicator
The LATITUDE Communicator is an in-home
monitoring system that uses a wireless
communication system to communicate with your
implanted device. The Communicator does not
provide continuous monitoring. It reads implanted
device information at times scheduled by your health
care provider.
At scheduled intervals, the Communicator sends your
implanted device data to the LATITUDE system using
one of several communication methods:
Standard telephone line (see page 22); or
Cellular data network (see page 25); or
8
LATITUDE
Communicator Patient Manual
English
Internet (using the LATITUDE USB Ethernet
Adapter (see page 8).
The Communicator receives periodic schedule
updates made by your health care provider when it
connects to the LATITUDE system.
The Communicator does not reprogram or change
any functions of your implanted device. Only your
health care provider can do this during an ofce visit.
Your Communicator can be used in Austria, Belgium,
Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany,
Greece, Hong Kong, Hungary, Ireland (Republic),
Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovak
Republic, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United
Kingdom. For more information, see “Traveling with
Your Communicator” on page 63.
The standard telephone line connection feature of the
Communicator is designed to operate on standard
telephone lines like those found in most homes. The
Communicator supports tone dialing over an analog
line. The Communicator may work on other telephone
systems, such as digital subscriber line (DSL) and
voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), if those systems
provide an analog interface for connecting the
Communicator.
Follow the instructions in this manual when
using the Communicator. Keep all of your
Communicator information in a convenient
location for easy access in the future.

analyze information from a patient’s implanted device.
The LATITUDE system normally displays your
implanted device information on the clinician website
within 15 minutes. However, it may take longer for
your information to appear due to many external
factors.

When to Use Your Communicator
The Communicator operates automatically on a
schedule set by your health care provider. If the
Communicator’s Heart button ashes, you should
press it to complete the requested action. See “Using
the Heart Button” on page 33
Note: When using the Heart button, you should
stay close to the Communicator during the
entire interrogation process to ensure optimum
communication between your implanted device
and the Communicator.
Check the Communicator daily to see if any of the
indicators are lit solid or ashing. Call your health care
provider if the “Call Doctor” icon (refer to page 18)
is lit any color.
When Not to Use Your Communicator
The Communicator is designed to work only with your
implanted device. It will not work with another patient’s
implanted device. The Communicator should be
used only as authorized by the prescribing physician.
The Communicator is not for use with any implanted
device other than a Boston Scientic device.
Ask your health care provider if you have questions
about any risks with using the Communicator or your
implanted device. There is also valuable information
about risks and reliability in the patient handbook for
your implanted device.
How the Communicator Works
The Communicator is designed to communicate with
your implanted device wirelessly. There are three
13
LATITUDE
Communicator Patient Manual
English
ways it may collect data from your implanted device.
1. Routine Device Checks
Depending on your implanted device, the
Communicator may perform an automatic
daily device check or a prompted weekly
device check. The Communicator checks in
with your implanted device and will collect
and send data to your doctor when needed.
This may happen automatically without your
knowledge or the Communicator may prompt
you to press the ashing Heart button.
2. Remote Scheduled Follow-ups
The Communicator performs remote
scheduled follow-ups on a schedule set by
your health care provider. The Communicator
performs a full interrogation (collects and
sends data from your implanted device).
This may happen automatically without your
knowledge or the Communicator may prompt
you to press the ashing Heart button.
3. Manual Interrogations
The Heart button is designed to enable you to
manually interrogate your implanted device.
This is a feature that must be enabled by
your health care provider. Only press the
Heart button if it is ashing or when instructed
to do so by your health care provider. When
the heart button is pressed, the Communicator
checks to make sure the interrogation is
permitted. See “Using the Heart Button” on
page 33 for more information.

Caution:
Normal use of the LATITUDE system has
been accounted for in the projected battery life
of your implanted device. Pressing the Heart
button more often than when the Heart button
ashes or, more often than instructed by your
health care provider, may lead to a decrease
in the battery life of your implanted device.
If you feel unwell or are in need of urgent
health care, call your health care provider or
emergency services.
Cancelling an Interrogation
If you press the Heart button by mistake (not intending
to perform an interrogation), press and hold the Heart
button again for at least 5 seconds to cancel the
interrogation. The Collecting Waves may light yellow
and show progress while the interrogation is being
cancelled.
Where to Place Your Communicator
Place your Communicator:
Near an electrical outlet that is easily
accessible.
Close to where you sleep or near your bedside,
within 3 meters (10 feet). If this is not possible,
place your Communicator where you spend a
considerable amount of time each day.
Where you can sit comfortably and see the front
of the Communicator.
Depending on the communication method used:
15
LATITUDE
Communicator Patient Manual
English
• Standard telephone line: Near a telephone
wall jack.
• Cellular data network: In a location where
you get a good signal.
• Internet (using the LATITUDE USB Ethernet
Adapter): Near your internet modem/router.
Where the Communicator and all its cables and
accessories will be kept dry and not exposed to
humidity or potential water contact.
Important Notes
• It is very important that the Communicator
remains plugged into the electrical outlet.
• Your Communicator should remain connected
to telephone or internet service unless you are
subscribed to the cellular data network plan.
When setting up your Communicator, use only one
type of connection. Set up a standard telephone
line, a cellular data network, or an internet
connection using the LATITUDE USB Ethernet
Adapter. Choose one connection method even
though you may have cables or adapters for more
than one.
This equipment needs to be installed and put into
service in accordance with the information in the
provided documentation. Call your health care
provider if you need assistance setting up or using
your Communicator.
Some household appliances and other sources of
electromagnetic energy could interfere with wireless
communication between the Communicator and
your implanted device. When you are using the
Communicator, you should be at least 1 meter (3
16
LATITUDE
Communicator Patient Manual
English
feet) away from televisions, videocassette recorders
(VCRs), digital video disc (DVD) players, personal
computers, and other electronic equipment.
Patients with S-ICD implanted devices supported on
LATITUDE: The wireless communication between
the Communicator and an S-ICD is orientation
and distance sensitive. In some positions, the
Communicator may need to be closer to the S-ICD
to complete an interrogation. If you need assistance,
contact your health care provider
Electrical safety: It is recommended that the
customer install a surge protector between the
electrical wall outlet and the Communicator. This is
to avoid damage to the Communicator caused by
local lightning strikes and other electrical surges.
Electrical cable wall plugs and other accessories
must be in good condition before use.
Boston Scientic personnel may contact the clinic
or patient to advise on the best Communicator
placement if an implanted device uses too much
radio-frequency (RF) telemetry.
