About the
LATITUDE System
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.

About the
LATITUDE System
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 ashing or when instructed
to do so by your health care provider.
