Important Safety Information
LATITUDE™ Patient Management is a remote monitoring system that provides implanted device data to both clinicians and cardiac device patients. The LATITUDE Patient Management system is not intended to assist with medical emergencies. If you are not feeling well, call your physician or 911. The Communicator is designed to work only with the implanted device of the patient for whom it was prescribed. It will not work with other patients’ implanted devices and should be used only as authorized by the prescribing physician. The Communicator is contraindicated for use with any pulse generator other than a Boston Scientific device. Ask your physician if you have questions about any risks with using the Communicator or your implanted device.
It is very important that the Communicator remain plugged into the power outlet and telephone line. It is recommended that the customer install a surge arrestor in the electrical outlet to which the Communicator is connected. The Communicator is designed to operate on standard, analog telephone lines like those found in most homes. The Communicator may work on other telephone systems, such as Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) and Voice Over IP (VoIP) Internet systems, if those systems provide an analog interface for connecting the Communicator. The Communicator should not be connected to a digital phone interface, such as those commonly used in some businesses, hotels, and managed care facilities where telephones are typically provided by the facility. Your Communicator is designed to be used in the continental United States, Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico. The Communicator may not communicate with your implanted device if you are too close to some household appliances. You should be at least 36 inches (3 ft.) away from televisions, VCRs, and personal computers when you are using the Communicator. Avoid placing your Communicator next to or in the immediate vicinity of other wireless products and sources of electromagnetic energy.
