Boston Scientific LATITUDE Patient Management System Clinician Manual

Below you will find brief information for Patient Management System LATITUDE. The LATITUDE Patient Management system enables physicians to periodically monitor patient and device status remotely. Data collected from the implanted device at times scheduled by the physician are combined with responses to symptom questions and data from an optional weight scale or blood pressure monitor. By combining these internal and external measurements with historical information, physicians can use the LATITUDE system to develop an informed understanding of the patient's implanted device and health status. Clinicians can periodically monitor devices remotely and bring patients into the office when appropriate.

Frequently asked questions

The LATITUDE Patient Management system is intended for use to remotely communicate with a compatible Guidant or Boston Scientific pulse generator (PG) and transfer data to a central database. The LATITUDE system provides patient data that can be used as part of the clinical evaluation of the patient.

The LATITUDE Patient Management system is contraindicated for use with any PG other than a compatible Guidant or Boston Scientific PG. Not all Guidant or Boston Scientific PGs are compatible with the LATITUDE system. For contraindications for use related to the PG, refer to the System Guide for the Guidant or Boston Scientific PG being interrogated.

The LATITUDE system is designed to notify clinicians within 24 hours if new PG red alert conditions are detected by the Communicator. Alert notifications are based on clinician configured alert settings. PG data is typically available for review on the LATITUDE system within 15 minutes of a successful interrogation. However, data availability and red alert notification can take up to 24 hours or the next business day. Note that PG data will not be available and alert notification cannot occur if: • The Communicator is unplugged. • The Communicator is not able to connect to the LATITUDE system through an active phone line. • The PG and the Communicator cannot establish and complete a telemetry session. This session must be initiated by the patient if he or she has a PG that uses inductive telemetry. • The Communicator is damaged or malfunctions. • The patient is not compliant with prescribed use or is not using the LATITUDE system as described in the patient manual. Up to two weeks may elapse before LATITUDE first detects the conditions mentioned above. Additional time may be required for clinic notification and resolution of the condition. During this time, no new patient data, device data, or alert notifications since the last successful data transmission are available.
