ABOUT THE LATITUDE
PATIENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
The LATITUDE Patient Management System
(“LATITUDE System”) is a remote monitoring system that uses the LATITUDE Communicator to collect data from your implanted device. Your Communicator then sends this data to the Clinician Website for access by your health care provider.
The LATITUDE System is designed to help your health care provider manage your ongoing care in a manner that is convenient for both of 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 password-protected
Clinician Website.
CAUTION : The LATITUDE System is not meant to assist with health emergencies. If you are not feeling well or need urgent health care, call your health care provider or dial 911.
LATITUDE ™ Communicator Patient Manual

The LATITUDE Communicator
The LATITUDE Communicator is an in-home, wireless monitor that automatically collects and sends your implanted device data to the Clinician Website for access by your health care provider.
The Communicator collects data from your implanted device in three different ways:
• Routine Device Checks : The Communicator
“checks in” on your implanted device daily or weekly, depending on what type of implanted device you have. The collected data will be sent to the
Clinician Website only as needed.
• Scheduled Follow-ups : At times set by your health care provider (typically every few months), your Communicator collects and then sends your implanted device data to the Clinician Website.
• Manual : If this feature is enabled by your health care provider, you may initiate the Communicator to read your implanted device by pressing the Heart button on your Communicator. Only use this feature when the Heart button is flashing or when instructed to do so by your health care provider.
2
LATITUDE ™ Communicator Patient Manual
Routine device checks and scheduled follow-ups may happen automatically without your knowledge, or you may need to press the Heart button when it flashes
to complete the process. Refer to “Using the Heart
Button” on page 18 for more information.
Your health care provider may also send periodic updates to your Communicator to change the schedule for reading data from your implanted device.
In order for your Communicator to be able to send your implanted device data to the Clinician
Website, a connection accessory must be set up
on your Communicator. Refer to “Setting Up Your
Communicator” on page 27 for directions. Contact
your health care provider to learn which connection accessory is right for you.
This equipment needs to be installed and put into service in accordance with the information in the provided documentation. Call your health care provider or Patient Services at 1-866-484-3268 if you need assistance setting up or using your
Communicator.
The Communicator does not provide continuous monitoring.
The Communicator does not reprogram or change any functions of your implanted device. Only your health care provider can do this during an office visit.
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 Scientific device.

When using the standard telephone connection, keep your Communicator plugged in to the electrical outlet and connected to the telephone wall jack.
Communicator Use of the Telephone
When using a standard telephone connection, the Communicator uses your phone line to make telephone calls to send your data to the Clinician
Website. These calls last approximately 5 minutes.
The Communicator can only make outgoing calls. It cannot receive calls.
The Communicator is designed to operate on standard telephone connections like those found in most homes and supports tone dialing over an
50
LATITUDE ™ Communicator Patient Manual
analog line. The Communicator may work on other telephone systems, such as DSL and VoIP, 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 (nursing homes, skilled care facilities, rehabilitation centers) where telephones are typically provided by the facility. If you are unsure of the features on your telephone, ask your service provider.
If you are using the phone line (“Using the Telephone
While the Communicator is Making a Call” on page
52), the Communicator will wait and attempt to
place a call later. Or if you have other telephone equipment (including fax machine, answering system or computer modem) connected to the same phone line and the line is in use, the Communicator will wait and attempt to place a call later. If you have heavy phone line usage that delays or prevents the
Communicator from placing or completing phone calls, it may be appropriate to install an additional telephone line.
Your Communicator and a telephone can share the same telephone wall jack; however, they cannot be used at the same time. The Communicator will relinquish control of the telephone line shortly after you pick up the phone, provided that the telephone
line meets the specifications stated on page 87.
LATITUDE ™ Communicator Patient Manual
51
Using the Telephone While the Communicator is
Making a Call
If you pick up the phone while the Communicator is using the telephone line, there will be no dial tone.
Hang up the receiver, wait 3 or more seconds, and then pick up the telephone receiver again. The
Communicator should disconnect and dial tone will be restored.
If the Communicator does not disconnect and restore dial tone, hang up the receiver. Then unplug the
Communicator from electrical power. You can then use your phone. Plug the Communicator back in after you have finished using the phone.
The Communicator will attempt to reconnect later.
DSL Internet Service
If you have digital subscriber line (DSL) internet service provided through your telephone line, you may need to install a DSL filter between the wall phone jack and the LATITUDE Communicator.
Most DSL filters are small rectangular devices with standard telephone jack connectors at each end.
These filters are typically provided by DSL service providers to connect telephones, an answering machine, or a fax machine to your telephone line.
If you use DSL filters for such devices, you will need to install a DSL filter to use the Communicator. If you use a dual-port DSL filter, connect the Communicator to the port labeled PHONE or where you would typically connect a telephone. For assistance, contact your DSL service provider or LATITUDE Patient
Services at 1-866-484-3268.
