Boston Scientific LATITUDE Communicator User manual

What is it used for?
The LATITUDE Communicator is designed to collect
information from your implanted device and send it
to your health care team to assist them in managing
your ongoing care.
This is not an emergency medical system.
How does it work?
Once your Communicator is set up (flip over for
setup steps), it will periodically check your device
on a schedule set by your clinic. Sometimes this
will happen automatically, and other times the
Communicator may need your assistance. Simply
press the flashing Heart button when it blinks to help
complete the device check.
Flip over for setup steps.
